Ed Hoyle Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Is he finally going to get a shot? Manfetus plays him sparingly all year, I cut him, and then kaboom...he explodes as was predicted back in Spring. Do you think he's "The Guy" next year even with James Davis who was highly praised in preseason? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Harrison is a free agent. Maybe Holmgren brings him back, maybe Mangini isn't Walrus' choice for coach. Lots of things have to fall into place for Harrison to be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Harrison should bring some prime funding for a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Unless his demands are ridiculous I guess that he comes back. They could draft a RB high but have many other needs to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 While I appreciated his help in the playoffs, I will stay far away from him next year. It seems to me that RBs who get started later in their careers don't keep up the production for whatever reason. Cincinnati's Watson and Tampa Bay's Graham come immediately to mind. I doubt many coaches will have faith in a 5'9, 205 pound primary RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison could be one of them. These are exactly the kind of players I like. They won't be drafted in the 1st 3 rounds next year but have huge upside potential and are worth drafting IMO. These kinds of players can absolutely make FF season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Emmitt Smith is a Hall of Famer drafted in the first round and played behind some terrific linemen. Westbrook is a savvy player with terrific skills for Philly's pass happy offense. Holmes showed off his ability well before his fourth year in Baltimore and then played behind one of the all time greatest lines in KC. So, if you all think Harrison's one performance vs. Kansas City is applicable to the rest of the league, by all means, draft away. Have at it.

loaf Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 doggy, 3 out of the last 4 weeks he's had awesome games. Still not enough info to go off of yet but he's got to be in Holmgren's discussions now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Look, I'm thrilled to have such a potential jewel stashed away on my dynasty team. Don't try to piss in my corn-flakes! Harrison has shown that he has the skills to excel at this level EVERY TIME HE HAS GOTTEN THE CHANCE. I'm not sure about this but I believe he still has the best YPC of any player in the league over his career. I love it when situations like this happen. He's too small. He spent too much time on the bench. He is a free agent, so it is impossible to predict what his situation will be next year. But I do know this. He is a PLAYA! And if you can't see that, there's nothing I can do for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Waterboy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The proof will be when Harrison gets it done against a tough D. The thing that made me tingly about J. Charles was when he put the yardage up against PIT, DEN, and SD. That was for real. Right now, the guy Harrison most reminds me of is more Billy Volek who shredded KC and OAK at the end of 2004 for 8 TDs and 900 yards passing in two games...and then went right back into obscurity. Jacksonville isn't exactly the Williams Wall, but if he goes off a third week against the Jags, needing a win and major help, I'll be a little more impressed.

MTSuper7 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Let's see where he lands before passing judgment. But it's hard to imagine someone handing him a starting job based on such a small body of work as the primary ball carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Holmes showed off his ability well before his fourth year in Baltimore and then played behind one of the all time greatest lines in KC. Really? Holmes was looked at as a stop-gap for the Ravens, barely put up a 1000 yd season in 98 & was virtually replaced as the starter the next year. He went two more seasons before moving on to KC. By that time he was just considered a journeyman and most people, including many fantasy owners had long written him off or didn't even know who he was.

I also drafted James Davis in the rookie draft to be Harrison's backup or vice-versa. My spirits were lifted when Jamaal Lewis went down, and Harrision started to run well. He wasn't incredible, but he ran well enough to play the flex position for me. I was dumbfounded when he was no longer utilized by Mangini. Fortunately, Harrison's reemergence couldn't have come at a better time for me. In Week 16's Championship Game, I inserted Harrison back into my starting lineup flex spot. Turns out that my entire lineup and bench exploded that week, but I was able to start him with confidence. Unfortunately, I only signed him to one year, so now I must speculate whether I should franchise him or not. How many years did you sign him to?

You get a hold of a player, you can keep him indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is that they try to keep him on at a reasonable price, and give either him or Davis a year to see if they have anything. I don't think they'll spend a high draft pick on a back, and don't see them paying big money to bring in a FA, which there really aren't many of anyways.
