Scrambling for another RB (1 Viewer)

[Munkee915]

Trying to look crafty during my draft I picked up Rashad Jennings late and now he's pretty much useless to me. Im looking for a 3rd/flex RB and I can pick up David Wilson, Dexter McCluster, or Mikel Leshoure. Which do you think will have better value this season? Leshoure looked good in preseason and only has 1 game left on his suspension, but if Kevin Smith is running well I'm not sure how much work he'll get. Im thinking Wilson should get another shot to carry but he's still behind Bradshaw and still unproven. McCluster is a guy I had last season that never panned out even though he had a couple good games. Im afraid of getting burned by him again. Thoughts?

Wilson is the best talent, but I'm not sure how long he will be in the doghouse after his last fumble. It may be half a season to a full season before he performs at a level that will warrant having him on your roster. The coaches will be working with him and the way he holds the ball and it will take at least half a season to get rid of some of his bad habits. (in my opinion) That situation may change if Bradshaw gets hurt again, but I dont know if you want to count on that.Leshoure may be your best bet at this time.

Safest for playing time is LeShoure. Actually there's a little blurp that just popped up a few minutes ago from the Lions' OC sounding eager to get him playing and we know Smith usually misses time.

Wilson probably has the best gamble of striking big. He also has the biggest gamble of fumbling in Week 11 and never being heard of again this year.

mcCluster I believe is now switched to WR in most databases.
