Gourdeau Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 What can we expect the roles to be, specifically James White. the hype train for Dion Lewis seemed to be rolling until news of his "cleanup" surgery cane out. I havent seen any signings so it looks like White and Blount. Anyone read or heard local beat writers speculate on whether White will just fill in the Lewis role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I had White last year and he definitely got the PPR targets..early on anyways. It seems like White is their backup Lewis role and Blount handles the ground pounding and goal line work. White is a nifty ppr play on the right weeks.

Phat Rugby Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I try to avoid NE RBs in general. Trying to determine which back will have a decent game is a crapshoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Huge fan of Blount. I know it's tough to determine then whens/ifs/etc. but I think they will really pound the ball, especially early on and as Brady gets back into the swing of things. Especially if they're up early on lesser teams. If you can correctly predict when that will be (and shouldn't be too tough given their schedule), Blount is a nice flex option, especially in standard formats.

Crazysight Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) If he makes final cuts (which I think he will) then I like Gaffney. Not so much for early in the season though, but he should get his chance. Edited September 2, 2016 by Crazysight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the outlaw Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I took a late round flyer on White in a PPR format, so Ill wait and see if that pans out...if not, I'll move on and find some value on the WW (I'm already eyeing Rob Kelley who has looked phenomenal in pre-season action w/Matt Jones on the shelf and Keith Marshall done for the season - Mack Brown has looked really good too, but the 'Skins are impressed with Kelley's ability to pick-up the blitz in pass pro). Anyway, I digress...with Lewis on PUP, White could really be a value pick, especially in PPR format... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
