Why not Marcel Reece?Oak RB2- Latavius Murray could make some noise when DMC goes down
EBF - Are you a fan of Vincent Brown? I remember when you did your receiver rankings he wasn't included but I wasn't sure if that was purposeful or not.There are some unsettled RB situations that have the potential to pay off big:
Arizona - I think Mendenhall is the best talent of the bunch, but he's vulnerable because of his inconsistency and because he's a one year rental. Taylor just might be good enough to get some time here right away and complicate things. If you grab both of those guys late, you could fill a RB2 slot relatively cheap.
Denver - I think Ball is the best back on the roster. I don't love his dynasty outlook because I think he's a second tier talent, but he could be a big time sleeper in redraft leagues.
St. Louis - I don't think this team has a legitimate starting caliber RB on the roster right now. Zac Stacy could be a decent stopgap guy like Vick Ballard. Daryl Richardson might be the best pure talent of the bunch, but his lack of weight could limit his touches.
There are also some WR spots that could pay off:
New England - I think Amendola is the best redraft option, but don't be surprised if Boyce has a bigger role than anticipated. New England isn't afraid to play rookies.
San Diego - Floyd, Alexander, Allen, and Brown. I'd bank on one of those guys being a useful FF WR next year. It might be Floyd for another season, even though he's probably the least exciting of the lot to most folks.
St. Louis - All of the attention will be on Austin and he could be a force right away in PPR formats, but I'd back Givens to lead the team in receiving yards. He could be a sneaky depth/upside pick for 2013.
Tennessee - There's quite a bit of talent here between Britt, Hunter, and Wright. I can't say any one of them is obviously a great short term option though.
From what I've read he's supposed to have the same running style as McFadden, if he can pass block it would make the least difference to the offense to use someone with approximately the same skill set. Not sure if it holds water, though.Why not Marcel Reece?Oak RB2- Latavius Murray could make some noise when DMC goes down
Let's hope. I'm going to be targetting him for boom/bust potential and platooning him with a Cook/Greshem/Rudolph/Pitta/V. Davis types.Sabertooth said:I think Jermichael Finley has his best year as a pro. Maturity plus the loss of both Driver and Jennings. The team held onto him despite a hefty cap hit. They have nobody close to his skill.
Rodgers doesn't trust him. Can he earn it?Sabertooth said:I think Jermichael Finley has his best year as a pro. Maturity plus the loss of both Driver and Jennings. The team held onto him despite a hefty cap hit. They have nobody close to his skill.
Pittsburgh? I think Bell wins that job hands down. week1 starter. Dwyer/redman are depthA few RB positions are up in the are:
Arizona
Denver
Pittsburgh
St. Louis
To a lesser extent: Green Bay, Cincinnati, maybe Carolina where it's likely we know who the starter is, but things could change quickly.

I wasn't especially high on him when he was a draft prospect.cusefan115 said:EBF - Are you a fan of Vincent Brown?

You'd think so, but Dwyer could still steal carries.Pittsburgh? I think Bell wins that job hands down. week1 starter. Dwyer/redman are depthA few RB positions are up in the are:

To a lesser extent: Green Bay, Cincinnati, maybe Carolina where it's likely we know who the starter is, but things could change quickly.
I was hesitant to put Pitt on there, but I think with the amount of RB in Denver, it's definitely wide open. Denver could choose to run McGahee into the ground.Arizona, St. Louis I agree with.Pittsburgh? I think Bell wins that job hands down. week1 starter.

Denver will be Ball and Pitt will be Bell, no?
Dywer needs to make the team first. Rumors after Bell was selected were that Dwyer was shopped for a 7th(with no takers). He's a RFA with a 1.3 mil price tag. Steelers are rubbing right up against the cap. RFA money isn't guaranteed so they can jerk that tender whenever they want and recoup the money. They drafted Bell and signed Stephens-Howling withing 48 hours. They also have Dwyer's doppleganer already on the team in Redman(plodding SY type), plus Redman can block/appears to be one of the "pets" of the coaching staff. If I were Dywer I wouldn't exactly be shopping for any real estate in the North Hills.You'd think so, but Dwyer could still steal carries.Pittsburgh?
