RB Correll Buckhalter value (1 Viewer)

With Westbrooks spotty health, thoughts and comments on Eagles RB Correll Buckhalter's value.

i've got him in 5 leagues and Westy only in two of them.

I think he has great value as a backup.

I don't think it went up after last night. If anything, it might've gone down.

Obviously the fumbles are a problem, but the other thing that became clear is that absent Westbrook, the touches are going to be spread around quite a bit.

The theory that Buckhalter would make a nice RB2 with Westbrook out took a serious hit last night.

I dealt him to the Westbrook owner last week for Steelers DST, and I'm glad I did.

Buck had 2 TDs lined up int he first half. He fumbled one, McNabb fumbled one. He was still in the game later. Buck is a *great* backup to westy and if westy goes down for a legit time, we'll see PLENTY of him. With that great OLine, he'll be very successful too.

But the problem is, the Eagles don't run much to begin with, and without Westbrook, what few touches there are available to the starting RB will be thinned out even more because guys like Mahe and Moats will see a lot of action too. Too many mouths to feed for Buckhalter to be a solid RB2, IMO. That was exposed last night.

moats fits the westy mold better than cbuck, but cbuck is better at the goalline. forgive the fumbles and buckhalter still has value if westy is out...i.e. 10-15 touches with the likelyhood of being the goalline guy. i suspect reid will not want donovan rushing too much and risking injury; he'll still vulture a few TDs (mostly on good coverage/broken plays), but look for buckhalter to get the first and second shot to punch it in.
