When/Who do you handcuff at RB? (1 Viewer)

[Big10Fan]

Well I was thinking about all my recent mock drafts, I've been practicing handcuffing, and then I thought, uh is this a waste?

obviouslly you dont handcuff a top 7 back(he wouldnt be top 7 if you couldnt trust his health or job security)

lay it out, I'm in a QB RB RB WR WR RB/WR TE K DEF league and I'm confused on if it is worth handcuffing a RB3?

pretty much with the #3 pick(10 teams) my mock has looked like this:

SA

bush

boldin

droughns

dmason

deuce(figure its a neccessary handcuff)

then we get to foster/bell/gore area

is it worth handcuffing these last guys and wasting a spot? in a RB/RB/flex league how far do you cuff? If I have to cuff bell/gore/foster I passed up on a glenn/clayton/jones/willford/bruce/etc at WR

I finished a draft today with the 12th pick. I got Cadillac Williams. Felt I needed to handcuff Pittman to him. Got Droughns at 3.12. No handcuff as none of the other Cleveland backs has done anything. Then I got lucky enough to get a Deshaun Foster/Williams at 5.12/6.01.

Some other combo backs:

Benson/T Jones

Dillon/Maroney

Brown/White

Portis/Betts

Tomlinson/Turner

RBBC

Bell/Bell

Rhodes/Addai

Gore is no longer a handcuff as Barlow is a Jet.

I, personally, feel that if you have a back who has missed time previously and his backup filled in well, you should probably hancuff him. Some backs, like Westbrook and Foster will require a handcuff earlier.
