What rbs are you targeted in the later rounds

[fpuma]

For the guys going wr/wr what rbs are you looking to land in the later rounds like 3-5? For the first time I am looking at going wr/wr. I always try to draft in the end of the first round and go rb/wr/rb.

I'm hoping PT falls to about the 3rd at least and much later I'll be shooting for Hillis. He's looking promising for sure.

There's your target group with current ADPs.

 

Of this group, I like the following:

 

1) McCoy. The Eagles primary RB, and he's shown the talent both running and catching. While his TD numbers could suffer a bit, his yardage and reception numbers should more than make up for it. I like him as a sneaky guy to wriggle his way into the top 12, especially with the running lanes being opened up by the quality of receivers in PHI.

 

2) Grant. The guy is always underrated and he always seems to deliver consistently. Again, as with McCoy, you've got a passing game that really opens the field and forces LBs deeper. Grant doesn't catch the ball like McCoy, but he'll be the goalline option in GB a lot more.

 

3) Thomas. He's the bell cow in NO, and now with some of the bruisers going down with injuries, he figures to get more opportunities, especially near the end zone. Bush hurts his value some, but again a strong passing game means lots of running room when he is asked to carry the ball.

 

4) Forte. Almost the same argument as McCoy. Lots of running room, and he'll be asked to catch the ball a bit. I don't like him as much as the first two guys because the CHI O-line is a bit weak and Taylor will eat into his playing time a bit. But Forte is a much better open field runner than he is given credit for, and if he's catching swing passes that's a real plus to his value.

 

5) Benson. CIN is a run-first team, but their passing game looks to be much more of a threat - meaning that opponents won't be putting 8 in the box. Benson has also been getting more passes thrown to him this preseason. The only thing that keeps his upside limited somewhat would be the development of Scott, but Benson will get plenty of work

 

Not crazy about Charles, Wells, Addai, Stewart, Best, or Brown because they will share so much of the load. I see all of them as RB3s with the exception of Stewart as a decent RB2 because CAR will run so much. Given the right injury to a running mate, and any of them could end up in the top 12 or better. Not crazy about Moreno because the passing game doesn't force defenders away from the line and because the O-line is going to be so young.

Beanie Wells and Knowshon Moreno. Tim Hightower and Correll Buckhalter do the littlest thing from scare me away. Broncos have nothing in the passing game as of now and Moreno should get 270+ carries this year, book that. He'll get everything in the redzone too. Wells is a guy I love this year, got him in the 4th round in my draft and I think he's a steal. Leinart and Anderson have both been GARBAGE in the pre-season, and Whisenhunt doesn't trust either. Wells could get 230-250 carries and he may steal some GL TDs from Fitz being focused on

Does it bother you at all that a team with a weak passing attack allows the opponents to play closer to the LoS and/or to put more players in the box? More carries isn't always a good thing if it comes with a lower ypc.

Hightower and Bush are going to get a studly amount of touches this year, and have flown very far under most people's radar.

Take a late flier on both.

After watching both of the ARI preseason games, it really looks like Beanie is not going to get the majority of the time in that backfield. Still cant block, better in everyother way I guess, but this should have been his if it were going to be.

 

Guy in my money league took Bush one pick before mine, I was so hyped about getting him this season. Same guy also took SSmith(NYG) one pick before me and I got Sid Rice.
