Irish27 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Who are the 3 running backs you have that should be available in the later rounds that could be a steal? I am in a ppr league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Depends what you define as late really and how many teams are in the league as that will affect which round they are going in. Shane Vereen is always good for catches and some carries once Ridley struggles but he's more middle rounds I guess. Danny Woodhead is pretty much solely a receiving RB My last one is a real punt but perhaps Tre Mason in St Louis as there's no way Zac Stacy sees that volume of carries again.

Zooty Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Late round steals are kind of arbitrary for a number of reasons. How many teams? Depends on how the guys usually draft, ie RB whores Rookies and projecting an injury are you best bets but that's just a crap shoot- Late round rookies I like- Mason, Freeman, Hyde, West and Hill if they didn't go earlier Others- Knile Davis, Bradshaw/ Brown, Michael, McFadden or MJD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwebs13 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have taken miller in the 8-10 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) These guys are getting drafted by round 8, not really late IMO ADP on the main free FF sites has them both going outside the top 100 which in a 12 teamer means at least round 9. Again, depends on your definition of late rounds. Edited July 23, 2014 by Dolphin_Akie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB03 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 As others have said above, there is not enough information to really give you solid choices. Despite what others have said, I still think Zac Stacy is someone to look at. Im not sure when your draft is but pay attention to the Rams camp and see what sources are saying about him. Ryan Mathews is another one that could be in later rounds. He did have his "breakout season" but like a lot of people are doing, they have now crossed him off their list due to his failures. Kniles Davis has got a little boost as of today with Jamaal Charles holding out of training camp due to wanting more money. CJ Spiller was a huge bust last season, so he could be in the later rounds. For me, Im not a fan. For serious Late Rounds PPR, I'm looking at Shane Vereen. He is still unknown to some and his injury last season may scare off some people. I think he has major upside and you can get him rather deep. Another one is Ben Tate. He shown great skills with the Texans and should fit great with the Browns offense.

Look at the ADP of all these players, everyone besides Kniles Davis is not a late rnd pick most are between rnds 3-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB03 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 With doing Mock Drafts, usually 4 of the 6 I mentioned have been late round picks due to people going after WRs and QBs early... Just what Ive been experiencing so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have taken miller in the 8-10 range. 7.01 and 7.04 in my 2 drafts so far (12 team, PPR). With Moreno being toast at this point I think he'll continue to climb. And by late round I was assuming 10-12 or later not 5-8th. Ahh but what do I know? I don't blog and have a podcast.

LOL Round 10 Lamar Miller Current ADP: 116 (118.47) There are a host of bargains in the 108-120 range, but Miller takes the cake. An extremely-talented player poised to get a second chance in an offense that’s expected to recommit to the run under new OC Bill Lazor, Miller spent the entire offseason ahead of Knowshon Moreno on the depth chart. Now Moreno is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, leaving the door open for Miller to run away with No. 1 duties in camp. Miller’s 2013 was a major disappointment, but film review revealed a player let down more by his coaching and offensive line than own running ability. A young back with three-down upside, Miller is perhaps this summer’s most under-drafted player. http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/47839/71/questionable-by-the-dozen?pg=2 I consider anything after rnd 9 a "late pick" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where this ADP of 10 is coming from I think he is slowly starting to go in earlier rounds as the season approaches. when i was doing mocks early on i was getting him as late as rnd 12 and now i have seen him go in the 7-9 range.

I think he'll keep rising especially to teams who pass on RBs in the first 3 rounds and are kind of desperate for someone who "may" get the bulk of touches for one team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
