Norwood Dynasty owners.... Hold or Deal (1 Viewer)

[KellysHeroes]

In My PPR leagues; hes scoring about 10 pts a game... avg about 30 yds on the gound and 3 or 4 recs a game.

It seems to me that they are abusing Dunn and you got to figure he will breakdown before the season is over (at this rate; he'll touch the ball 290+ times). What everyone outlook on Norwood... Deal or no Deal.

Dynasty hold...the Falcons won't be awful forever. In fact, Lefty may make a difference (then again, maybe not). I stand by stance that Norwood will be solid once Dunn is gone and he has a QB.

The problem is that there is no guarantee that Norwood ever really gets a shot to be the feature RB.Atlanta could very well pick a RB high in the NFL draft.I see Norwood as a decent gamble, but no sure thing to ever even get the opportunity to be a year in year out starting RB in the NFL.

I kept Norwood over Brandon Marshall and Michael Turner last year. I'm starting to regret keeping him over Marshall. Atlanta seems hell-bent on using Dunn no matter what.

Atl has so many needs that a Rookie 1st day RB may not be possible. QB; WR; TE; LBs; S, I see them going after a Vet RB like J Lewis or JJ to be part of an RBBC.

I just wish someone would feature this guy for 20-25 touches. Look what he's doing and has done with minimal carries. He had a few runs taken back last week due to penalties and was tackled right near the GL too. I'm holding. Down the stretch, when everyone is searching for RBs to make a playoff push, he's going to be there.

This is why he is staying on my roster. I am likely going to waive Morency and Wynn so I have room to keep Norwood (we trim rosters by 5 this week)

 

[The Man Who Met Andy Griffith]

I would sell, personally.

Norwood strikes me as one of those borderline young RB's with a brief moment in the sun. Based on his skinny build, he seems unlikely to develop into a full-time back. Atlanta's usage of him while Dunn is healthy implies that they agree.

Good backs are always entering the league. I wouldn't be surprised to see Atlanta go after somebody in the draft or free agency.

So at this point, would you trade Norwood for Marshall in a dynasty league?

 

[Mortimer Ichabod]

So at this point, would you trade Norwood for Marshall in a dynasty league?

Depending on the makeup of your team, i would say absolutely. Marshall looks like he might be the second coming of TO. Norwood looks good in spurts, but is probably too small to carry the load.

Owning Marshall, I would decline Norwood. There's a ton to like about Marshall (talent, opportunity, great young QB to build with). I wouldn't be surprised if Norwood's the new version of Tatum Bell. (Best used in limited role)I also think sooner rather than later Petrino will bring in a power back. I wouldn't rule them out of the running for Michael Turner. They aren't financially tied to Norwood. (and Petrino inherited him)

 

[KellysHeroes]

I just moved him in my dynasty.

gave up Norwood, Jerious ATL RB;Holt, Torry STL WR

for Wayne, Reggie IND WR; Year 2008 Round 2 Draft Pick

(the guy had Rudi / Duece / Dunn as his RBs so he was hurting; he looks if on making the Playoffs so that could be a mid 2nd next yr)

I think Atlanta's use of Dunn was predictable, adn speaks to instability at QB, and of course Dunn was not going to go down without a fight. in dynasty, hold Norwood

I said the same thing in the offseason when the Norwood hype was spiraling. Maybe it won't be Turner that is brought in, but those expecting Petrino to hand the keys to the castle to Norwood may be severely disappointed.

Norwood should be given a chance to excel... hes still avg 5 yds a carry. Pairing him up with a bruising back would be a nice combo.

Atlanta could very well pick a RB high in the NFL draft.

Didn't we hear this before the draft this past year? Everyone talked of them taking Michael Bush in the first round. The Falcons have many more needs other than RB.

Bush was drafted in the 4th anyway.As for RB, clearly team brass felt that RB wasn't that much of a need, but it could be near the top of the list come April if they aren't convinced about Norwood being the guy and with Dunn another year older.

Running backs like Deangelo Williams and Jerious Norwood scare me. It would appear they have the talent to beat out the "less talented" veteran, but for whatever reason they can't. Makes you wonder....

DWill and Norwood are world's apart though. The thing with Norwood is he would have been the starter if he hadn't had that stomach flu, and if Vick wasn't out of the league, whereas DWill never has shown enough to beat out Foster. I think Dunn is out there now because of his veteran presence. He and Horn are the only guys who have ever done anything in the league on offense.DWill's touches have gone down each week, Norwood's have been consistent. He'll see even more as the season goes on.

I'm holding in dynasties. not much to lose by setting on him. it's the cheap young sleepers that often make the difference on a FFL team. IMHO.

In the offseason many were talking about Atlanta wanting a "power back" to key their running attack. That's not Dunn or Norwood. I actually had thought they were going to work in Snelling (well, for a while - until he failed to make the roster.) Right now Norwood aint getting it done (Dunn aint getting it done either) - I see them drafting/signing an RB in the offseason.

Have you watched any of the games? Norwood has looked great! He's just had limited opportunities.

Norwood = 3rd down back/ Change of pace.

Peroid.

Norwood = 3rd down back/ Change of pace.Peroid.

Based on what? His 4.0YPC on first down this year, or his lofty 1.0YPC on third down? Must be the fact he's only carried twice on thrid down, so that must be how they use him.No that's got to be an anomaly because of the small sample, so let's look at last year. What? 8.0 YPC on first down? He only had SEVEN thrid down carries all season? Only ONE third down reception?You sir, don't know what you are talking about when it comes to Jerious Norwood. He's the farthest thing form a third down back there is. If anything, Dunn is more suited for the third down role, as he is the better blocker, and probably the better receiving back.
