jbran23 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) If I remember correctly wasnt there alot of hype around Torain last year in Denver before he went down with an injury? He was sharing the carries with Portis and not K. Williams like Im sure most of us figured was going to happen this week. And Blount getting those carries yesterday with Kareem Huggins nowhere in sight. With neither of the guys ahead of them in the depth chart (Caddy, Portis) what I would consider solid what are the chances these guys are starting in the coming weeks? Do these guys have any fantasy value going forward in your opinion? Which one are you more intrigued with?

teewhy237 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have more interest in Torain. Just think Washington has more overall potential on offense. I plan to make a play in a couple of leagues for him unless I here anything different over the next couple of days that says anything different than Portis going to third down duty and Torain becoming the primary rusher. Don't think he is no savior or nothing, but I do think he may be worth a stash and see how this weeks game plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbran23 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Bump this up. Anyone else have their eye on one of these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klambert Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I have my eye on both guys, I'm waiting to see everyone else's opinion too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonGhost Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I have portis on my team so i am leaning towards Torain. However i see Blount as having more talent and higher upside being a bruising type back. I would really like to hear some more opinions.

Mrom Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 im deciding between Green-ellis, Darby, Torain, and blount. How would use rank these 4 from 1-4? would any of you guys drop manningham, donald brown or jerome harrison for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Cantu Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 im deciding between Green-ellis, Darby, Torain, and blount. How would use rank these 4 from 1-4? would any of you guys drop manningham, donald brown or jerome harrison for them? I picked up Blount, 15 min later i decided to take Torain because Portis' carries are going down, LJ left and Torain should be the #1 back within the next few weeks. Blount might make an impact, but later on this year. Anyone else agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistolkid Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I like both of them as backups and stashes. I would prefer Torain over Blount for talent but I think Cadillac has looked awful and is one knee injury from Blount getting most of the load. Blount probably has a better chance of eventually becoming starter over Torain I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSJayhawk Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Would you drop Snelling for Blount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleDavid Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'm a big fan of Blount right now. He came in and was rushing against the Steelers Defense. One of the toughest Ds in football (obviously) and still had a nice Average YPC, plus got in the endzone. IF TB hadn't gone to sleep in the secondary and kept the game close Blount could have had a 15 carry 60-70 yard game and would be on top of every waiver wire this week.
