Its always prudent to handcuff your top RB's with the backup RB if you feel it is the right fit. I have 1 extra bench spot and I am looking at the handcuffs and trying to convince myself that one or the other is a better pickup. It may all come down to luck or nothing may happen at all (with regards to the primary RB missing time). However I think its prudent to do some analysis and have a disussion.
Javon Ringer - CJ2K seems to be rolling and has a very good style of running that leaves him less prone to injury than some of the more brusing type of RB's. Ringer's skillset would be a very good fit for this offence my prediction is that he would be a top10 RB if CJ2k were to miss time.
Toby Gerhart - another rookie playing behind a primary RB that is featured in the offence. If ADP were to miss time I think Gerhart could instantly step up and be a top15RB. ADP hasn't missed a ton of games in his career but his all-out brusing style of play does leave him open to injury at any time.
Anthony Dixon - don't know too much about him. Gore has missed 2-3 games each ot the last couple seasons and so far has played in all games this season.
Jerome Harrison - skillset is a good match for the offence if LeSean McCoy were to miss time however McCoy has not been featured in the offence since Vick took over - however McCoy's week-to-week stats are of a low-end RB1 high-end RB2 since Vick has been given the keys.
Mewelde Moore - word out of Pitsburgh is that MeMo is the primary backup in case anything should happen to Mendenhall - not sure MeMo would also get GL carries which makes him a low-end RB2. He has shown in the past though that he can be a yardage monster if given a feature role.
Thomas Clayton - Peyton hillis is a top5RB in most leagues but his running style just leaves him open to injury at any point. It's questionable also if Clayton would be a featured RB or if they would role with a committee (he and Mike Bell).
So these are 5 situations which I think deserve some analysis - there may be a payoff here - there also may be more situations that deserve some analysis. I'd appreciate any feedback as I am looking to stash someone on the end of my bench in hopes of a strong playoff performance.
