Skrappy1 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 This comes from Rotoworld: Latest News Nov. 27, 2004 - 3:19 pm et NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that the Vikings hope to make Onterrio Smith the primary running back down the stretch. Very interesting news, not reported yet by the Minnesota media. Smith has been the most consistent back in Minnesota this season, so it makes sense. He's a solid buy-low candidate heading to the fantasy playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turf Boy Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Who knows, I may be nuts. But, I like O. Smith's chances for the rest of the year. If Tice truly makes him the primary ball carry, he'll be a solid #2 RB. They've look like sheet when Tice gives 3 different guys 5 carries. He needs to decide on one back & give the guy 15+ carries per game. If he does indeed do that with Smith it would be a great time to get him for cheap now.

Ohjay Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 With Birk being out for a month I would wash my hands of the Vikes RB situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Here's my call on the situation: Tice is using RBBC until Moss is back as a full-time starter. Once that happens (maybe this weekend), Onterrio will be the featured back in Minnesota. *Disclaimer-- This is my opinion, and is NOT backed up by fact. I'm just judging the judges.

Skrappy1 Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Wow, looks like for once maybe the rumors are true. No RB other than Onterrio Smith had a touch in the first half of the Vikings game. Maybe Tice is learning something after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
