keggerz Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) In deeper leagues Tanner might be a sneaky play. Eagles are 31st in the league on runs up the middle giving up 7.64 YPC ...and that isn't on just 5-6 carries that is on 53 carries against them (9th in the NFL) D Murray is going to get the bulk of the carries but he won't get them all, so like I said, if you are in a deep league and have bye issues he could be worth a look...the coaches evidently love the kid and when rumors sprouted up earlier this year about them possibly cutting ties with choice I rostered Tanner in all but one of my dynasty leagues. edit: In case you are curious about how Dallas runs the ball up the middle...they average 7.26 YPC (2nd in NFL) on runs up the middle and they have run the ball 43 times up the middle (ranks 16th in NFL) Edited October 29, 2011 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted earlier this week, before Choice was even cut that Tanner had value in deeper leagues, and didnt even get a reply, but Im with you and I think you are ahead of the curve , as usual.

BA Baracus Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Anyone think Tanner has value this year? Felix is setting up camp in my IR spot, DeMarco is on another roster, and I still want a piece of this rushing game. Throw away McCluster for Tanner?

Whiskey Pimp Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 With injuries and byes I'm starting Ogbonnaya but I'm thinking Tanner might be worthy of a pick up and start this week instead. Any thoughts on quantity or quality of touches for Tanner against Philly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on quantity or quality of touches for Tanner against Philly? When Felix was starting were any of the other RBs on Dallas worthy of inserting into your lineup?

keggerz Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'd be surprised if got Tanner 10 touches probably more like 3-4 carries....of course 2 will be for TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'm having trouble figuring out how Tanner isn't just the new Choice? He's behind Murry and Jerry's love child, Felix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
