Redskins claim RB Choice off waivers (1 Viewer)

Tashard Choice - RB - Redskins Redskins claimed RB Tashard Choice off waivers from the Cowboys.

It's one of the best possible landing spots for Choice, and an indictment of Ryan Torain's minuscule production the past three weeks. Choice was having an abysmal year for the Cowboys before being cut loose, averaging just 2.7 yards on 28 carries while dealing with a number of minor injuries, but could be in the mix for carries as early as this week depending on how he looks in practice. If you're a Torain or Roy Helu owner, there's little justification for not taking a flier. Related: Ryan Torain, Roy Helu

Skins just signed Tashard Choice, per Scheffter. Looks like Torain could be out of a job pretty soon. If Choice is/gets healthy, do we think he can be the new Hightower the rest of the way, or are we just in another boring RBBC with him Torain and Helu?

As the Shanny RB wheel turns, looks like Im dropping Helu. Theres zero point in owning any of these guys.

Good luck running behind that line, Tashard.

Signed,

Ryan and Roy

$200,000 look at the Cowboys' playbook. He's gone after week 11.

Skeletor move. Since he can't even win games anymore the only thing he has left is to screw with FF teams that have Redskin RBs on their roster.

Well that makes the Wash backfield picture even clearer.

What a mess. Never trust the rat!

Yuck..So glad I didn't burn a claim on Torain..

I fully expect Choice to get the start in week 11. That may be the only time this year where it's easy to predict who gets the start for Washington.

 

[sandlotshrink]

I sincerely feel bad for Choice and the fantasy football world. And Tashard thought he was in an RBBC in Dallas!

 

[IHEARTFF]

Redskins running game is terrible. I don't think any of them will be worth anything. I wouldnt want to play any RB on Was, Cle or Sea.

 

[solorca]

Hey, at least in Washington he'll get to start (every third game...and until he fumbles in the first quarter).

Shanny trollin'.

Just when you thought Choice's value couldn't go any lower..... then Boom, the Redskins.

 

[phillybirds]

I knew it!!! I knew Shanny would find a way to make things even more complicated for fantasy owners.

Who has Shanahan benched for fumbling this year? Last year? He stuck with Torain last year through fumble problems in at least one game.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Shanny being Shanny... I refuse to draft or pick up any of his RBs.

Lol. Funny. Countless people have spent years saying "if choice ever gets a chance, watch out". And now he has it ( someway, somehow, you just know he will get a shot somewhere).

So now we will get to see what choice has, if anything. Who knows? If he shows something, he can be the next in a long line of little-regarded players that come out of nowhere and produce well for a while.

I'm not holding my breath (seems like I am absolutely snake bitten this year with my rbs) but I am just as happy to have Choice taking up a roster spot as I am some of these other guys these days.
