A talented back who won't have an appreciable fantasy impact unless at least two other guys get hurt.

Agree, but may leave out the 'talented' part. I don't think he's anything special.

Totally disagree.Dude is averaging over 5 1/2 YPC this season.Talented RB for certain, doesn't have the toughnessto ever carry the load in the NFL.Much better NFL back than a Fantasy back.
Being a Broncos fan in a pretty deep league, it was painful to drop him this week. But as far as I'm concerned...
He's useless for the next three weeks: This week he's out, next week he'll be eased in against the Patriots, followed by a bye week...But wouldn't you know it, Ryan Torain will be back after the bye week; another cook in the kitchen. His short-term value is shot and it's hard to imagine him to top 10 carries/week in the later weeks.
At this point, I'd pick up Maurice Morris, Cedric Benson, or Rudi Johnson over Young.

Fixed.Frankly, I'm not sure he's as good as Bell was in his best moments with the Broncos.
I don't think Young is worth rostering in many leagues. As noted above, he won't have much value the next few weeks and then Torain will return. I'm not convinced Torain is the answer either but it's clear to me that Young isn't so I'm guessing Torain will get a shot (though I don't think Pittman is going anywhere as long as he can stay healthy).

hes useless, picked him up in my auctions league for $67 bucks out of $500... panic move I guess. Luckly I have the rook rostered as well.

Being a Torian owner (drafte in rd 18) I hope he gets very few carries after Torian comes back.
Mad Mike has really put a waste to decent situation over the last couple of years. He seems to put his running backs in a dice cup each week and see what comes out when he shakes it.

Hypothetically speaking, in a 10-team league with smaller rosters (and possibly caps on certain positions), it's not outrageous for him to have been on the WW following a 43-yard effort in Week 1 and no game in Week 2.JAA said:Slaton was available on the WW in your league?Didnt your sister or pet goldfish draft him?the spanker said:Same here.

well MOP says he's the #6 back in FF. So I am starting him as such.
