Post-draft RB situations (1 Viewer)

[Bayhawks]

The draft answered some RB questions, but left others to be studied. I know most, if not all of these, questions have been/will be discussed in other threads, but I wanted to see if those thoughts could be consolidated in 1 place.

1-Cleveland: obviously Richardson is intended to be the man.

2-Detroit: no RB picks; does this mean they have confidence in Best? In Leshoure? In Smith?

3-New England: no RB picks; is Ridley going to be the man? Vereen? A FA?

4-Arizone: no RB picks; are they confident in Beanie? Is Williams on/ahead of schedule?

5-Oakland: no RB picks; McFadden 100%?; confidence in T Jones?; FA?

6-Pittsburgh: 1 RB pick (Chris Rainey), but he's under-sized & with Mendenhall likely on the PUP to start the season, who's the guy: Redman, Dwyer, a FA?

7-Tampa Bay: traded back into the 1st to get Doug Martin; is he going to be the man, or share time with Blount?

8-Washington: took a RB (Alfred Morris) in the 6th round: confidence in Helu?

 

[jurb26]

1-Cleveland: obviously Richardson is intended to be the man.

Yes, Richardson will be the man from day one. Many don't like Clev because of the division but he will be a bellcow and the Clev Oline is pretty good. He will produce nicely.

2-Detroit: no RB picks; does this mean they have confidence in Best? In Leshoure? In Smith?

I don't think it means they have confidence in their RBs at all. I think they are assuming they will be passing the ball 600+ times again this year.

3-New England: no RB picks; is Ridley going to be the man? Vereen? A FA?

RBBC with Ridley seeing the most touches IMO.

4-Arizone: no RB picks; are they confident in Beanie? Is Williams on/ahead of schedule?

Arz didn't need a RB. Beanie and Williams are both talented and there was no need.

5-Oakland: no RB picks; McFadden 100%?; confidence in T Jones?; FA?

This one is kind of scary. DMAC is a beast but I can't imagine they believe he will stay healthy the whole year. I think they look for a FA.

6-Pittsburgh: 1 RB pick (Chris Rainey), but he's under-sized & with Mendenhall likely on the PUP to start the season, who's the guy: Redman, Dwyer, a FA?

Redman will see the most touches early but it will be RBBC.

7-Tampa Bay: traded back into the 1st to get Doug Martin; is he going to be the man, or share time with Blount?

I think Martin is going to be the man for them. Bount will still get about 120 touches on the year though.

8-Washington: took a RB (Alfred Morris) in the 6th round: confidence in Helu?

Shanny, stay away!

 

[sho nuff]

Add in Green Bay...

Looks like its Starks, Saine, and Green (coming back from the ACL) if they don't resign Grant.

 

[mlball77]

NYG: Does not appear that Bradshaw will be the bellcow. First rd selection of Wilson indicates RBBC, barring inj etc.

 

[Touchdown There]

1-Cleveland: obviously Richardson is intended to be the man.

Yes, Richardson will be the man from day one. Many don't like Clev because of the division but he will be a bellcow and the Clev Oline is pretty good. He will produce nicely.

Richardson is expected to be stellar. If he is only good, his fantasy value could actually drop. That is expecting a lot.

2-Detroit: no RB picks; does this mean they have confidence in Best? In Leshoure? In Smith?

I don't think it means they have confidence in their RBs at all. I think they are assuming they will be passing the ball 600+ times again this year.

Maybe no confidence in one individual, but confidence in the group with 3 talented guys. There will be a lot of TD opportunities and these three are pretty cheap to acquire right now in fantasy. Kevin Smith in a redraft is going to be a super sleeper. LeShoure is likely to be suspended and Smith will get a lot of touches in the first 4-6 weeks.

3-New England: no RB picks; is Ridley going to be the man? Vereen? A FA?

RBBC with Ridley seeing the most touches IMO.

I tend to shy away from Patriot running backs. They want the superstar to be Tom Brady.

4-Arizona: no RB picks; are they confident in Beanie? Is Williams on/ahead of schedule?

Arz didn't need a RB. Beanie and Williams are both talented and there was no need.

Before his kneecap realigned up into his thigh, I liked Williams out of these two. This now looks to be RBBC on a bottom half rushing team.

5-Oakland: no RB picks; McFadden 100%?; confidence in T Jones?; FA?

This one is kind of scary. DMAC is a beast but I can't imagine they believe he will stay healthy the whole year. I think they look for a FA.

DMAC is electric and will be the man when healthy. Is Goodson or Taiwan the backup? I would rather have Taiwan Jones.

6-Pittsburgh: 1 RB pick (Chris Rainey), but he's under-sized & with Mendenhall likely on the PUP to start the season, who's the guy: Redman, Dwyer, a FA?

Redman will see the most touches early but it will be RBBC.

Looks like Redman gets a shot.

7-Tampa Bay: traded back into the 1st to get Doug Martin; is he going to be the man, or share time with Blount?

I think Martin is going to be the man for them. Blount will still get about 120 touches on the year though.

Blount is on a one year contract at league minimum. Doug Martin has landed in a very good situation. I like him more in dynasty than redraft.

8-Washington: took a RB (Alfred Morris) in the 6th round: confidence in Helu?

Shanny, stay away!

Give me Helu and his breakaway speed. Helu is never going to be Ray Rice, but I think he is a better RB than most people think. Royster is a backup, but will get some good playing time.

My fantasy perspective in bold.

 

[Max Power]

I think Cedric Benson's phone is about to ring. Might be a good time to buy if he goes for nothing.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Why is tampa seemingly low on blount?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Why is tampa seemingly low on blount?

IMO... he's not a great blocker, he fumbles and the team keeps insisting that he's a short-yardage type back when he's not.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

6-Pittsburgh: 1 RB pick (Chris Rainey), but he's under-sized & with Mendenhall likely on the PUP to start the season, who's the guy: Redman, Dwyer, a FA?

The Steeler's backfield is anything but muddy IMO. Rainey's more or less a dead ringer for Dante Hall, so you can take him out of the equation as a major worry. And Tomlin said yesterday that the team was 'encouraged' by Mendenhall's progress, that he might be ready for the start of the season and that Mendenhall is 'a big part of what we do.' He remains a screaming buy if you can find an owner that's down on him. And if he's not ready they'll go with Redman and some other guy until he is.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Detroit is going to play ksmith and best when healthy. Will see what roger does w leshoure

I completely missed that GB didn't take any RBs.Hmmn. Grant is gone right?Do they like Starks or Green?Hadn't even really thought of Green Bay but that could be an interesting backfield to look into.

I agree, DMAC will be the man. I only mean I think they look for a FA to add depth given his injury history.

Already brought in Goodson, doubt they will add more.

I think they're fine with what they have.Their focus isn't on their RBs.

 

[jdswan922]

It will be interesting to see how Wilson does here. One of the big concerns with him is his fumbling, and Coughlin has no patience for fumbling.

 

[cvnpoka]

dont think its as foregone as others that blount will be superseded by martin. martin needs to prove he can play.

Starks fails to impress. I'm going to try and snag Saine and Green both and see what happens. I think one of them is the guy this year. I think it will be Green but that's just a guess.

 

[zed2283]

What about the Jets?

 

[Willie Mays Hayes]

What about the Jets?

I sort of wondered if they'd use a high pick on a RB but only ended up with the Baylor RB as a package player with Tebow. Bump up Bilal Powell!

 

[az_prof]

Anyone care to comment on the Indianapolis situation?

Buy Brown. They let Addai go, didn't pick up a RB FA, and didn't draft a back until the 5th round. I also like the fact that IND added a couple of TEs.

 

[cr8f]

Add in Green Bay...Looks like its Starks, Saine, and Green (coming back from the ACL) if they don't resign Grant.

I think Grant will sign when he doesn't get what he wants elsewhere. Last last season he put up a high per carry average.

They signed the son of Wendall Tyler (Marc) as a FA out of USC.They're becoming USC north.

 

[_lurker_]

Biggest bump is to marcel reece.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Det and Zona surprising but there are a couple of FA Vets that could be a 1 yr stopgap.

Kind of figured Oak wouldn't draft one since they had a low # of picks and traded for Goodson

Blount's value in the gutter, Bradshaws' already was... this will actually prolong his career IMO

Brown and Carter big winners

Jets already have 3 RBs and had a bunch of other needs... get McKnight while u can

Helu gets a bump but I will NEVER trust Shanny; knowing him Portis will get a tryout and be named the starter.

Vereen and Ridley looking good but may cancel each other out this season, plus Danny is still there

K Hunter stock takes a nose dive with BJ and James

not sure what the Steelers are going to do about RB but atleast they addressed the line, unlike my Jets

HUGE winner is BJGE

And Packers continue plug and play

 

[r0llin_game]

Was going to say, Oakland went and got Goodson.

 

[Donsmith753]

What you guys reckon Smith's rookie pick value is?

 

[Hoosier16]

What you guys reckon Smith's rookie pick value is?

I liked him prior to being drafted behind Martin. I think he goes undrafted in rookie drafts.

 

[stp-d]

No mention of DEN run game. This guy Hillman plays the Moreno role well, but is he a threat for all 3 downs.

 

[3 hour lunch]

Was going to say, Oakland went and got Goodson.

Goodson is avail in one of my dyno's (short rosters)....but no real indications from OAK on who would be the primary backup to DMC I don't think? Actually forgot about Reece, who someone mentioned; although he only had 17 carries last year he catches some balls. Taiwan looked so overmatched in run blocking he seems more like a situational back.

DMC will be the guy.

Of course he will be the man. Problem is, that may be for about 4-6 weeks. Then you want Taiwan.Ryan Grant should surface somewhere (maybe New England). I dont think it changes anything. ITs all about Tom Brady there.

Brown and Carter get a chance in Indy, so there value improves.

Same for Joe McKnight. The answer is not Powell. IF Greene struggles, I believe the chance goes to McKnight.

Best and LeShoure are the guys I am REALLY starting to wonder about being super sleepers. I understand Oakland not taking a RB because A)they have competent guys and B)they had few picks. But Detroit was in position to take a speed guy or in between the tackle guy at least 4 times and they passed every time. THe gut says they will be like the teams that pass it A LOT and that kind of surprises me because that is really their undoing. They could have been a better team if they had ANY balance last year. But they are going to pass and I think they know they can't rely on Best or Smith to be the guy that is there in September all the way through December (and hopefully January). So I think it will be Best and Smith early and ride it out till LeShoure comes back and then its LeShoure's opportunity to settle this (and I think he will). I believe, come November and December, LeShoure will be one of those guys that is striking his groove and showing us what he is going to be and will be that RB that you always see in Fantasy leagues that comes on late and somebody rides them into the playoffs.

 

[BigTex]

No mention of DEN run game. This guy Hillman plays the Moreno role well, but is he a threat for all 3 downs.

I'm a HUGE fan of Hillman. I have him right there with Martin, yes he is a threat for all 3 downs.

 

[mr roboto]

Biggest bump is to marcel reece.

They don't seem to know how/where to play him. IIRC he was considered (if not listed) as a HB/TE even. In a more creative offense ( NO, NE) he could be a really important role player.

 

[Sweet Love]

The Ridley/Pats talk is always interesting to me. It seems the majority feels it is Ridley's job or a share with Vereen, but never Vereen's job or a share with him as the lead. IMO, Vereen looked fine when he played, and he was the back taken earlier in 2011 (over Ridley). I understand Vereen did not snatch the job when he was healthy, but the running game was not in shambles when he returned, so I believe they took a "don't rock the boat" approach and just phased him out. If he can stay healthy, he has a whole camp to establish himself, and when I look at some opponents like my Jets, I would throw out more Vereen than Ridley, as there are not as many speed guys on that D (I would personally not try to run Ridley through the Jets front three, especially with his ball control issues).

Not sure where the two are going in redraft now (or where they will go in August), but my gut tells me the better $$ is on Vereen for value, even if it ends up being a split.

 

[KCitons]

Hmmm, no mention of Ray Rice. I know, I know, B Pierce was taken in the 3rd round. (and 3rd rounders aren't usually an immediate threat) I'm thinking the Ravens would like to lessen some of the load that Rice takes and a fresh set of legs instead of a Vet like Ricky Williams, could cut into Rices stats as the year goes on.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[ffchamp1]

Anyone care to comment on the Indianapolis situation?

Buy Brown. They let Addai go, didn't pick up a RB FA, and didn't draft a back until the 5th round. I also like the fact that IND added a couple of TEs.

Neither TE is considered a blocking TEBrown is and will be terrible, I am suprised though that they did not add a back

Sorry was actually meaning Kevin Smith

 

[Childress]

6-Pittsburgh: 1 RB pick (Chris Rainey), but he's under-sized & with Mendenhall likely on the PUP to start the season, who's the guy: Redman, Dwyer, a FA?

And Tomlin said yesterday that the team was 'encouraged' by Mendenhall's progress, that he might be ready for the start of the season and that Mendenhall is 'a big part of what we do.'

Do you have a link to this?

Seems like the thinking is that out of the three backs Woodhead and Vereen are two most similar. RBBC is generally seen as a power and speed back to compliment each other. Vereen still has to compete with Woodhead for touches, while Ridley will only have to beat out whatever vet RB they bring in.

Thought it was on MFL, but don't see it there now. Not sure where else it would have been, and can't track it down now either. But I did note it since I hadn't heard anything about Mendenhall at all until that point and he's someone I try to keep tabs on. If I come across it again I'll post the full quote and a link.

Brown was far from terrible last year - quite the opposite. Actually, Carter was the one that was terrible.It remains to be seen whether Brown is the guy from last year or the bust from the year before; and whether Carter isn't very good or just had a poor rookie season and the light hasn't come on yet.

Vick Ballard was just mentioned on NFLN as being a guy that can come right in and compete.

That's what I've seen too in a few draft grade write-ups. I have to admit I don't know much about the guy though. I would say that Pead and Hillman are very intriguing now as well. I need to do a little more research on them...

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Why is tampa seemingly low on blount?

IMO... he's not a great blocker, he fumbles and the team keeps insisting that he's a short-yardage type back when he's not.

If people decided not to sell him before the draft, it's their own fault.

 

[Tanner9919]

I think players like D. Williams and Ben Tate might find themselves traded to other teams at some point this summer, such as Detroit or Gb, LT2 might find a nice landing spot , the NE rb situation is as cloudy as ever. I don't get Detroit, are they really going to roll with what they already have at rb? McGahee seems to be in a great spot , he's likely to remain the bell cow rb for denver..

 

[houston]

Kuhn should be included in the Packers' RB depth. Obviously not a guy you can give it to 25 times, but he fits into what they need at RB.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

What about the Jets?

I sort of wondered if they'd use a high pick on a RB but only ended up with the Baylor RB as a package player with Tebow. Bump up Bilal Powell!

I'd be leary of that. He looked horrible last preseason. Perhaps it was rookie jitters but he's far below Greene and McKnight as of now.Ganaway could be interesting (or he could be cut). 240 lbs with decent speed would fit in with what Rex wants to do - but lets see if he can play at this level.
