Which of my crappy "RBs with question marks"... (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

We can start 3 RBs. Got Edge in the 1st, and DeShaun Foster a few rounds later. Those two should be fixtures in my lineup all season, barring injury -- which is very likely in Foster's case. Now I need a third horse.

Which of these other 7 backs can I expect to get the most production from during the year?

- Tatum Bell

- Cedric Cobbs

- Vernand Morency

- Cedric Benson

- Dominic Rhodes

- Chris Brown

- Michael Bennett

All of them have legitimate question marks, whether it is injury concerns, or being the backup, or being in a RBBC situation. I went through last year pulling my hair out because I had nowhere to turn when Deuce got hurt and Benson disappointed. Wanted to make sure I had some depth at the position this year.

For those who have any of the 7 guys I listed, who are you counting on the most? It's really 6 guys, honestly, unless Larry Johnson gets hurt. I mainly took Bennett just to piss off the L.J. owner.

Rhodes, at least early in the season. Chris Brown has a chance at keeping the job all year, though I'm not sure how effective Tenn's running game will be. Benson will get a shot if Thomas Jones stalls at any point in the year IMO. Tatum could end up winning the gig in Denver, though it appeasr Shanny is doing everything in his power to stop it.

I'd list them like this right now:

Rhodes

Brown/Bell

Benson (based on potential)

Morency

Thanks, that sounds about right. As long as one of them is a pleasant surprise, I'll be pleased.

Funny, I have a similar list

Barlow

Brown, Chris

Morency

Williams, DeAngelo

One had better work out in a predictable way - I'm guessing Brown right now
