Fantasy Values??
Wed, 05/14/2008 - 08:41 — thaas
Lets see what you guys think are the fantasy values of the following guys
Lendale White-- No Chris Brown plus i read he played with a torn meniscus last year.. must be tough
Ernest graham-- was a stud down the stretch and with no caddy this year can he be the #1 guy?
Ryan Grant-- Was awesome in the playoffs- can he do it without favre
Can any of these guy be a #1 fantasy RB this year??
Would you draft them?? If so as a #1 or #2
I might draft Grant as a
I might draft Grant as a #1, but it would have to be in late round 1 or early round two if I chose a QB in round 1 (which I rarely ever do). I'd try to avoid him as a #1 though because, as you said, the big question is how will he do without Favre. Until Rogers proves he's a threat, Grant will see eight man fronts and that may hurt his early value.
LenDale White is an option for a #2 guy. You mention there's no Chris Brown, but now there's Chris Johnson and he has more potential to sap fantasy value than Brown did.
Graham could put up points like a #1, but I wouldn't take him as a #1 because I don't the offense he's in enough to take him that high. He'd be a good #2 that could really come on for your team though.
Grant would be about the
Grant would be about the 10th. best RB on my list -- so that's a late first round choice for me. His fantasy value could certainly be hurt with the loss of Favre. There are definitely question marks about him & the Packers offense in general with the new QB. However, he was really good last year & certainly in his prime RB years.
I also agree with Dave that LenDale White is a #2 RB. With Chris Johnson in the mix, he probably won't get many (if any) pass receptions. Almost all of his production will be running the ball -- this factor separates the #1 RBs from the #2 RBs IMO. He is a solid #2 option who should get over 1,000 yds. & 10 TDs or so. He will be the goal line back.
Ernest Graham is an intriguing RB. I was very impressed with how he ran the ball last year -- he was a big reason the Bucs won the NFC South. However, as Dave said, I have major concerns with the Bucs offense. They didn't really improve their WRs much in the off-season (we'll see if their 2nd. round choice pans out). I don't like their overall offense much, which will limit Graham's TDs. That being said, he has a chance to be a #1 RB if Tampa's offense surprises me. To me, he is a low end #1 or high end #2 RB...with upside & downside.
Thats kind of what i was
Thats kind of what i was thinking.. thanks
