Anything is possible, but if Morency didn't beat Lundy out during training camp and the preseason, I wouldn't bank on him beating Lundy out during the regular season. Obviously there's a chance that he will, but I see no reason to think it's greater than 50 percent.
Well, sort of. Morency did miss time in the middle of camp that allowed Lundy to move ahead of him. In watching them in the two games they have both played it "looks" like Morency is a bit better once they're through the line. With a few glaring exceptions he's generally been a little better on pass protection as well. I expect in true Denver fashion we will see a RBBC in Houston unless one of them gets hurt. I do think that before the season is over the odds are better than 50-50 that Morency is the lead guy.
top ten? no way. i like 15-20 range. just my 2cents.
Possibly, but saying no way to top 10 is a bit silly when DD, a much heralded 4th round pickperry147 said:PRE42 said:There is no fantasy gold in the texans backfield this year.RBBC
, turned in a top 5 finish in 2004 and was a top 10 point per game RB all 3 years when he has started. If Lundy is as good a receiver as DD, I see no reason why it isn't possible for a top 10 finish. Maybe he won't because he isn't as good as DD was or Morency will steal enough carries, but if he is better than Jonathan Wells, then it is possible.Also, since Lundy is basically late round/waiver wire (early drafts), he doesn't have to do much to be fantasy gold.NO way Morency starts , 1) Morency played against second teams defense and if not for that 40 yds TD he scored game 2 he did ok but not great , WHile Lundy started the frist three pre season games ( that s a sign by the way )and played equally well in each gama.Tha is what coaching staff is looking for 'consistency' ( Morency is like a Tatum Bell inconsistent that is why they both are and will be back up )jaemcy3 said:
What part of #1 and #2 are people not getting around here? The guy asked the questions assuming those two are in place. He didn't ask if it was going to be a RBBC or anything else. Sheesh!
Healthy DD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6th Round Pick Rookie LundyAnd the OL might be worse than last year.I am not saying to not pickup Lundy on a very late round flyer or even off the WW just do not expect to be a weekly starter.

If he somehow keeps the starting job, I'd place him in between 17 and 20. The O-line just didn't improve IMO, but in that hypothetical situation, by virtue of being the sole starter, he'd be a serviceable bye-week or match-up dependent RB.

That's a big fantasy myth that gets on my nerves sometimes. People seem to think that players will win the starting job in the middle of the season. 95% of the time, if a player couldn't win it in training camp, he can't win it during the season. One of the big exceptions is rookies who have a bit of a learning curve... but (a) RBs don't have a big learning curve, and (b) Lundy's actually got less NFL experience than Morency.
Terrell Davis was also undrafted. In general, we can weght things by draft status, but I'd also point out that the 6th round draft pick was the only RB that this coaching staff selected out of ALL the RB's on the roster. Add that Kubiak is one of the guys who used to find gems in the late rounds or undrafted players back in DEN...ANYTHING is possible.Healthy DD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6th Round Pick Rookie LundyAnd the OL might be worse than last year.I am not saying to not pickup Lundy on a very late round flyer or even off the WW just do not expect to be a weekly starter.

I wasn't going to say anything.
FLA\/\/ED!Not possible. TIA.Seriously though - Kubiack has been taking no name RBs and turning chicken u-know-what into chicken salad for years. To think it impossible for him to do again is a little short-sighted. All absolutes are dangerous (even this one).
I think people are seeing the words "Houston Texans" and assuming there is no value here, or thinking that Domanick Davis was some premier talent who won't easily be replaced. People, Houston's offense relies almost ENTIRELY on the RB. Take a gander at what transpired against Denver. Lundy had over sixty yards and three catches, and Houston STRUGGLED moving the ball. Even if the split is 60/40 with Morency, which I frankly doubt, the starting RB in Houston will be no less than RB20, good for RB2 in any league. I can't wait to watch this play out. I wouldn't overthink it. Lundy and Morency can be had very cheaply in drafts, and who ever gets the bigger load is going to be a TREMENDOUS asset. ACQUIRE THEM.
