17ish ranked RB if Dillon is still healthy, if he's not I can see him in the 6-9 range if not top 5 from that point on.
Just saw the highlights of last week's game - that TD run w/ the stiff arm was incredible.

I admire and respect your loyalty to Benson. And I also believe Ryan Leaf will one day return to the NFL and prove his critics wrong.

Maybe he was referring to Anna Benson.
My guess is that Maroney will be top 15 the rest of the way even splitting with Dillon...he's top 10 if Dillon goes down. The kid has shown massive flashes of greatness in preseason and the games he's played so far....
He may be SOD is Dillon goes down. He's the type of player that wins fantasy championships if he's the main rock carrier in NE....I'm loving having him on my squad..

How likely is it that Dillon is out of th picture next season? What's his contract look like?

As I mentioned in the Fantasy Roundtable the other day, Dillon has actually been a more reliable guy to get 4 or 5 yards than Maroney has been.
The majority of Maroney's carries have been for 2 yards or less (with many at no gain or for negative yardage). His success has come from big gainers and highlight reel runs that Dillon WON'T get.
This past week Maroney had 18 carries for 38 yards against the Phins and a couple weeks ago had 12 carries for 18 yards against the Broncos. He's far from a sure thing from week to week.
Bottom line, if the Pats are winning, Dillon is not going anywhere unless he gets hurt. And IMO, there's as much chance that Maroney gets hurt as Dillon. Yet no one is saying Dillon is a Top 10 back if Maroney goes down (although we should be).

There's nothing to say that Dillon won't consider renegotiating. IIRC, he's already done that twice while in NE.It is what it is said:

A guy with 1,000,000 career touches is equally likely to get hurt as a guy with 50? Sorry, not buying it. Dillon is much more likely to get hurt. He already has shoulder problems and is on the wrong side of 30.
I'm not saying Dillon will get hurt for sure, but he's pretty obviously more likely to get hurt than Maroney. Hell, Dillon was not even able to finsh that last game against the Fins. He's dinged up.

I shoulda called myself the Nigerian Nightmares Knees! I actually like both of your names in a "put yourself WAY out there" kinda way. Got any fantasy advice? or, on second thought........ 
I like Homey Maroney and expect Top 10 numbers from here out. IMO Injury to Dillon would hurt Maroney's production due to defenses keying on him.I'm targeting Maroney in a couple of leagues. I've been offering up guys like Rhodes or Kevin Jones. I feel that Rhodes would be a pretty even swap. But, I haven't heard back from the owner where I am offering Jones, where I feel I am offering the better of the deal.
I like Maroney's upside as the season wears on.

FWIW, zero chance I'd trade Maroney for Rhodes. If Jones was my RB3 I don't think i'd trade Maroney to get him either.
