Soup Nazi Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Or maybe a better question would be is there even a running back that is in a position to come out of nowhere this year like Foster did last year and put up amazing stats.

ABearWithFurniture Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Foster didn't really come out of nowhere...he put in some good/great games at the end of the 2009 season. Many people were targeting him last year when early drafting started and you could get him about the 9th/10th round. A couple of pre-season games later he was going in the 3rd/4th rounds pretty regularly. My best guess for that to happen this year is Mike Tolbert...he had some good games at the end of last season and almost the only thing standing in his way of getting the bulk of the carries in SD is a gimpy Ryan Matthews.

darin3 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I could see a healthy Darren McFadden finishing as a top-3 PPR RB this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egret Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Jerome Harrison! Lions won't be running the ball enough and Best will still get plenty of touches. I don't see Harrison having a hugh year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glabra Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 John Clay will carry the Badger flag in a way Ron Dayne never could.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 John Clay will carry the Badger flag in a way Ron Dayne never could.. Unlikely. Per Rotoworld: "Multiple beat reporters noted that undrafted RB John Clay walked out on Steelers practice Monday afternoon. A staffer chased Clay down and convinced him to return to team drills. "Never seen that before," tweeted Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Color him gone." Clay was red-flagged with character and medical concerns on draft weekend. This won't help his chances of an NFL career. He was already considered a roster longshot.

irish Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I always liked DMC and finally last year he did what I had been waiting for and I expect more this season. As some have said- Hightower, Spiller and Wells make solid candidates. I also like Shonn Greene and Mark Ingram to be solid value picks. I also think guys like MJD, Forte, Gore, Best, D. Williams are being undervalued. Shane Vereen/Ridley and Delone Carter could be nice sleeper picks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Jerome Harrison! Jerome Harrison was Arian Foster two years ago (at least during the fantasy football playoffs). I'd go with Hightower if it wasn't for his head coach. The Rat will screw you every time. I'm interested to see how Willis McGahee pans out in Denver.

rcswildcat Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I like R Jennings, especially if MJD goes down early. Like Foster, had some good games late, you can see the potential, but Jax doesnt have the passing offense like Hou to open up the run game. Ive been nabbing him mid-late rounds and especially traded for him during the lockout in my dynasty for a pick that ended up being Leshoure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelman Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) This year's RB that you can get from the 10th round that becomes top 10... will be... Javon Ringer... HOLDOUT! Edited August 15, 2011 by michaelman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawofmurphy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Undrafted....running back....had good games down the stretch the year prior to breaking out big time....wait...wait...don't tell me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ben Tate's injury really opened the door for Foster last year. Hard to predict injuries, and truth be told, how often do you go from undrafted rookie 3rd stringer to number one overall RB? I don't think we will see "this year's Arian Foster" this year. You are lucky to see something like that once every several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
