I don't think he's done as a fantasy option, see T. Jones.

If you are having to rely on starting LT then your season is kaput and your team has taken some brutal injuries.

I see backup and waiver wire players contribute every year I play this hobby... Seems like a weird comment to me.pantherclub

Not really. If LT is on the waiver wire there is a reason for it. If you are to the point in your season where you have to start LT consistently week in and out then you have major problems with your team. If you have to start LT even in a bye week scenario then you are basically praying that he produces a little something but he will not win you the week. For the most part you dont regularly start a 2nd string RB that has a ton of miles on his legs and expect your team to be good.I see backup and waiver wire players contribute every year I play this hobby...

You don't have to have major problems with you TEAM - you could have a fully stocked TEAM with a slight issue at RB2 or RB3 if you have that issue, like you might in the FBG Challange....... Maybe you have Cedric Benson at RB2 a little dinged up or heck like last year "resting"!!!!, then you have LT going against the worst run D in the league....Not really.

I was in such a position, I think it was 2000 when Warrick Dunn finished the year with crazy FF numbers.....
Personally, especially in my deeper leagues, I draft a lot of Backup RB's and it helps out in a number of ways - The way you're talking it sounds like you have no reason to ever draft or roster any RB other than the #1 starters for each team since you won't ever be good if you lose one.

Wasn't Miles Austin on a lot of WWs last year (most likely redraft and keepers)? You never know what you are going to get...I had a killer team in a FBG Raleigh-area Keep 3 league, but Jerome Harrison (who had been picked up and dropped multiple times throughout the season), absoultely clinched the title for me. Sometimes you just need a good week or two to take you far, but to dicount LT (whether he is fried or not), behind that line, is very risky.Not really.

Any RB who might start at some point for the Jets has FF potential.
LT isn't a great NFL running back anymore, but neither was Thomas Jones last year. It doesn't matter. Any RB who starts for the Jets will get numbers.
If Shonn Greene gets injured and LT starts a few games, he'll be a good FF option.

So LT is clearly a handcuff and not even a bye week filler unless Greene goes down to injury?
Still worth an RB5/6. How does he stack up value wise to someone like a Donald Brown? Do you take a sleeper TE like Z. Miller or roll the dice with LT2? I am personally trying to avoid him, since I don't think he is ever fantasy relevant again. Just a hunch I suppose.

Exactly! LT is no worse than Thomas Jones and Jones had a lot of yards and points. If the Jet OL stays healthy like last year LT will be a better option than people think. However, they did lose their guard and it is likely someone will get injured.
