Ryan Grant and his future? (1 Viewer)

I think it will come down to GB's offense, and to a lesser extent schedule next year.

Basically if the offense is nearly as good as this year, the schedule matters less. But if there is the inevitable drop off, which in all likelihood there will be, then the schedule matters much more.

Meh. You can look at schedule all you want but you still can't tell who the top run D's are going to be until the 3-4th week of the season. For the original question, keep Grant or LJ, from your schedule theory, you'd have to go LJ because of GB winning the division, right now with 2 losses. Also, no matter who their in-conference scheduled opponents are, GB will have 2 against the Bears and 2 against the Vikings where LJ will get 2 against Denver and 2 against Oakland.

True but I didn't say we'd be able to predict it, just that these are the factors that will impact the outcome.With that said, to simplify things, Grant will as good as GB's offense is. This might be true of just about any RB, but I suspect especially true for him.

Exactly. In fact, a knock in Green Bay heading into this season was their schedule. I remember many people predicting a worse record for Green Bay because their schedule was so much more difficult. I think I'd keep schedule out of the equation.

Say the choice was between Grant and Calvin Johnson, who would you keep?

grant by a mile. calvin hasnt shown anytthing except a flash here and there. dont get me wrong, calvin is special but he has shown that he isnt the exception to the norm for rookie Wideouts. he needs to learn like everyone else.

So because Grant got the starter gig because of an injury that is him "proving" something as a running back? Not to say he hasn't produced but it's comparing production to a wr is apples and oranges. RB is the easiest position to learn....WR takes time no matter how talented. The jury is still out on both of them imo.

Agreed and I probably wouldn't touch him if Favre retires. I'm probably in the minority but I think people are reading waaay too much of Rogers 1 half of football. He looked good but let an NFL defense watch film on him and prepare for him and I suspect he'll look nothing like he did in his brief appearance.

i guess it depends on what type of keeper league you are in and the intracacies of where a kept players value is (ie, where you drafted him). If you can keep Calvin for a 9th round pick then he's an option. but if he is your 3rd ronder and grant is your 11th round then you gotta keep Grant. for instance my keeper league: calvin was drafted in the 4th round this year. next year he will be a 4th. but the year after he will revert to being one of that owners top 3 picks (depending upon how many points he socres next year). grant was picked up off waivers so he is a 15th round pick. if i were him i would def pick the proven guy with a later round draft choice to boot.
