Let me start by saying that I cannot remember a RB year like this one....very few breakouts, A LOT of underwhelming backs and everyone is scrapping and clawing in all my leagues to just get a couple starters out there or some decent flexes. Now I am a Martin fan and I think he'll be a good one but he was given too much too quick and I think the coaches realize that. We're at the quarter point in his rookie season and he's going the wrong way. Martin's carries have gone from 24, 20, 19 to 8...and his ypc is sitting at 3.5 and his team is 1-3. Unlike a lot other teams there are other options available who have had success in the past. Now Blount has his warts which is why he was brushed aside by the staff during the offseason and first couple games but I think they know they need to get him more involved and give the rookie some more time to acclimate.

From all the sounds of it, Blount has been practicing great, they've talked of giving him more carries. Now he's not likely to be a home run unless Martin gets hurt but I think it's pretty likely that he gains more of 50-50 split carry wise, with the goal line looks. They've also got a really nice schedule with KC, NO, Min, Oak, SD, Car, atl, den, philly, no.

I turned over my roster and dropped projects (B. Powell, Rodgers and others) in leagues and got Blount as a FA in 3 of 3 leagues. If he's there and you have crap at the bottom spot on your roster pick him up and see what happens....all the signs are pointing in the right direction and the price is likely free.

PRO TIP...haha.

 
The Tampa Bay Times reports Bucs coach Greg Schiano places great emphasis on practice performance determining game-day roles, so that has to be encouraging for backup running back LeGarrette Blount, who drew praise from his head coach. “I think LeGarrette has practiced better the last couple weeks,” Schiano said. “I think when you prepare better you play better.” Blount has just 13 carries in four games heading into Week 6 vs. Kansas City, but might start to see a bigger role offensively behind starter Doug Martin. “Like I’ve said, I think those guys can really play off each other well,” Schiano said. “They are different styles. They are different body types. I think it can serve the whole offense well for them both to have carries.”

Ditto! The Buc's schedule is the reason I have loaded up on them, Freeman, Jackson, Blount and Team Defense. # 2 ranked "D" this week against Brady "FRICKEN" Quinn. Blount rides the bench this week, but I think will be more involved as the season progresses.

ya, I'm not near starting him but if he has 2 more games where he scores he'll have real nice trade value as the bye weeks, injuries and mediocre RB play continue.

I'm thinking most of those teams could put up huge yards/points against the Bucs D... NOx2, Atl, Phil, Min, Den at the very least are teams that can do so...

Agreed. However, It won't be the Chiefs putting up huge yards/points against then this week!!! I picked up Buc's D today for Chiefs :banned:
 
some good info here. hes available in both my $ leagues, but we have short rosters. someone to keep an eye on for sure. only concern I have is tbs offense. its so conservative. freeman has trouble moving it down the field and if the running game becomes more of a split between martin and blount it would probably kill both of their values imo. unless tb starts to score more...

 
I have to decide between dropping Blount or Starks on one team and it's a tough choice. I think Blount is an underrated runner. He's not a jack of all trades but is one of the better pure runners in the league. The question is, though, how high is his ceiling as long as Martin is healthy?

I'm a firm believer, due to the fact he Blount isn't a pass catcher, that he needs a high volume of reps in order to be anything more than a flex. If 10 touches a game becomes his ceiling, his fantasy days will be overly dependent on touchdowns.He's not like JStew of last year who's value was buoyed in PPR although he only got 10 touches a game.

I love the schedule, and it's the main reason to debate rostering him, as it will allow him to hold flex value if he does end up getting around 10 touches a game.However, I'd still rather take my chances on someone like Powell, Green/Starks, Ballard since they have a greater chance to play the Doug Martin role in this situation.

 
Not a bad thread at all - lots of speculation as to what will happen coming out of the bye week - Earnest Graham thinks Blounts role will grow.

He's the type of back that needs 15-20 carries to get things going - maybe Martin will be the guy who will get the COP role.

 
Im keeping an big eye on this.

I cant get comfortable enough to drop a guy on my short roster to make space for Blount now.

What I am going to do is wait and see if his tocuhes do go up. If the timesahre becomes more 50-50 Im going to hit up the Martin owner with an offer accompanied by some longerm outlook/rebuilding commentary and see if he might sell.

to me, Martin's dynasty value just dropped for the first time since the real draft. Im thinking I might jump in ------ next week.

I went in the exact opposite direction, but there were other considerations. I felt I had to pick up Best over Powell (have LeShoure and Bell in a deep league with no RBs to speak of) and had traded Fitz/Starks to the Benson owner for Harvin. Powell has got to take over that starting job soon, and I think I'll regret dropping him.
 
I've had Blount stashed on my bizench for like 2 weeks now in hopes of this. Once I saw schiano's comments about Martin and his displeasure with the run game I thought it would be wise to pre-emotive lay snatch him up.

Look, it's not crazy to see a first round pick start off as a second stringer or a change of pace back in the nfl. Frankly I thought it was kind of dumb for schiano to reduce blounts role to next to nothing in the first place. I realize they were trying to send a message to a troubled player but they cut off their nose to spite their own face because their run game suffered for 4 games as a result.

Anyway, Blount is a big load and should definitely be the 1st and 2nd down back with Martin coming in on 3rd downs. I think if they did that they could get their run game in high gear.

Best part about it is that if that happens I have the Martin owner hostage.

 
I think Blount is getting more carries because Martin has not been explosive enough to distance himself from Blount. Therefore letting the bruiser wear down the defense a bit is a way to possibly help Martin perform better in rotation.

I would not want to be relying on either of these guys and if you think Blount is going to get more carries than Martin I think you are mistaken.

I also want to point out that the game against the Vikings will not be favorable for either RB.

Other than that might as well load up and don't forget to pass.

I think most people are aware that MIN is and impenetrable force against the run. I'm pretty sure they're more focused on KC, NO, OAK, CAR and ATL. With a schedule like that, both Blount and Martin will end up holding value on a majority of weeks.

The Vikings have been playing very good defense the past 3 weeks and the story for the past week or so has been how everyone (media) is surprised how well they have played while all of the players have unanimously been saying that they are not surprised by it.But the truth is the Vikings defense looked just about as bad as it did last year in week 1 vs Jacksonville. They struggled with Lucks mobility in week 2 (we might see this problem again with Griffin) but then something changed. The defense has been playing really good football since then.

How well the Vikings do against Morris/Griffin will be a good test for how much the defense has improved.

Well last game Martin had 8 and Blount had 6 and the td. Since then it's been all Blount talk by the staff. I think it's up for grabs now.

I think it is more likely RBBC as I do not think either will be significantly better than the other to become the main RB again. I do agree that the feature RB position is up for grabs I just don't see either winning that much action again. Martin had his shot at being the guy but didn't do enough with that opportunity, thus Blount back in the conversation. Either one is an injury or fumble away from more playing time.

:goodposting: Im still confused why MIN's D was even brought up in the first place....because TB plays them in a few weeks?! Who cares, everyone has tough matchups every few weeks. Im more concerned about Martin establishing himself vs KC and NO, two defenses he should be able to, because if he doesnt, it probably is time to light up the Blount

 
I think Martin's gonna be dropped in a lot of leagues after this week. I expect quite a lot more Blount starting this week.

Martin's shown zero explosion to date. And it says something that Blount, not exactly fleet of foot, looks & has looked more explosive. (DJ Ware was seeing a lot of 3rd down work in 2nd half comeback vs. Washington)

What tier of backs are we thinking Blount will be in this week and then assuming he gets the majority of carries, the following weeks? I had the guy last year and he was a disappointment to say the least and IIRC, the TB O line is not at full strength again this year.

 
Here is how I see today unfolding:

TB, despite no Adib talib, does an effective job on getting to the qb and rattles Quinn. Jamal Charles is fairly contained BC they are stacking the box and daring Quinn to beat them through the air. Tb gets up by a few acres early on. They spend the majority of the day as a ball control running offense, sharing carries bw Blount and Martin (15-18 a piece).

Now, that really is how I FEEL today will go. If I were schiano's that's my game plan for today. Stack the box, Rush Quinn, hit Quinn, blitz Quinn, sack Quinn. On offense run run run.

But I don't have confidence in schiano's to do this. If I knew this is what he would do I'd have Blount locked n loaded in my flex.

I think if blount provides more spark today then moving forward we are looking at a true rbbc in tb with each back getting 10-15 touches per day.

 
I started off this week's waiver run by securing Blount as a handcuff/insurance for Martin. Then, Donald Brown went down for the count and I dropped Blount to grab Ballard before the news got out. The Brown owner was cheesed and pitched me a bunch of middling trade offers for Ballard. I balked on all of them and so he did the smart thing and nabbed Blount off the wire. We're now holding each other's handcuffs hostage. Fun times! :popcorn:

Really? 4 carries a week (maybe this gets to 10?) And .3 chance of TD? There are a lot of WTH flexes I'd play before Blount.

So based on 1 GL TD (where martin took the ball to the 1 from the 6) and some coachspeak that tes practicing better you see I'm going from 4 carries a game to18 carries? That's nuts.Fwiw I think Blount gets a few more carries but I'm thinking more like 6-8, unless TB blows em out and Blount gets in late in the fourth for some full series. But I highly doubt this is a full blown rbbc predi ted in this thread.

Blount is going to have a really nice day today. 85 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Doug Martin watches a real man run from the sidelines.

 
I took a stab at Blount, he's a proven RB1 talent and Martin is a rookie. Not to say Martin isn't good but he's just having growing pains.

Here is how I see today unfolding: TB, despite no Adib talib, does an effective job on getting to the qb and rattles Quinn. Jamal Charles is fairly contained BC they are stacking the box and daring Quinn to beat them through the air. Tb gets up by a few acres early on. They spend the majority of the day as a ball control running offense, sharing carries bw Blount and Martin (15-18 a piece). Now, that really is how I FEEL today will go. If I were schiano's that's my game plan for today. Stack the box, Rush Quinn, hit Quinn, blitz Quinn, sack Quinn. On offense run run run. But I don't have confidence in schiano's to do this. If I knew this is what he would do I'd have Blount locked n loaded in my flex. I think if blount provides more spark today then moving forward we are looking at a true rbbc in tb with each back getting 10-15 touches per day.

If I knew Blount was going to get 15 touches today I'd have him locked and loaded as a RB2.

If I knew you were going to comment on every post (1151 posts) in 6 weeks and I would have to look at your avatar so often, I would not have signed up for FBG's this year. You Avatar ruins my day every day!

What was your previous user name with same Oracle avatar? Pretty sure you are the same guy and I enjoy reading your thoughts now just as I did years and years ago. I just forgot your previous handle (if you are indeed the same person who used it before)

No...the Tampa Bay offense just really sucks. They are 6th to last in rushing attempts and they are dead last in passing attempts. They are near the bottom of the league in total offensive plays. Until this changes the RB situation in Tampa is one to avoid.
