How long before Jordan Howard takes the lead-back role? -- @jbrobinson


That’s a really good question. Howard showed real promise in the preseason finale against the Browns, and I thought he provided a spark -- even if brief -- Monday night in the loss to the Eagles. The one thing Howard has done in limited playing time is show that he can catch the ball out of the backfield; that’s a real plus. I would not be surprised if Howard sees his role grow soon. Ka’Deem Carey can’t seem to stay healthy -- he was sidelined with a hamstring injury Monday night. I’d like to see Howard get 12 or more carries against the Cowboys and see how he does.



Something to monitor if you're desperate for RB help or just progressive in adding guys like this (idk who you should drop for him, just putting this out there)

I'd give Langford another 2 weeks before Howard gets the job.

Langford doesnt even have 200 carries in the NFL, and they took Howard and year after taking Langford.

Im not sure he's married to Langford.

He's got Kevin White out there (not technically a rookie), he starts Cody Whitehair.. that team isnt going anywhere. Fox teams are usually contending in the past

Fox had the look of a man ready to shake things up Monday night. Shock the system.

I own Langford in one league. Would like to add Howard, but don't know who I'd drop.

QB: Big Ben, Eli
RB: Miller, AP, Ingram, Langford, Michael, McKinnon
WR: Hopkins, Dez, Floyd, Sanu, Sharpe, Michael Thomas
TE: None (this league doesn't require one)

I have two IR spots, so this didn't even require a drop. It did require someone else not already owning him. Sigh.

CAP time.

He wasn't a handcuff. It's just a 14 team league with increased starting positions. I just didn't think anyone would have already grabbed the dude.

ETA: Gyno, you'd think Riddick is squarely in the pass catcher role. He and Abdullah got production in their timeshare. So it's really the other two you're looking at imho. I think it outs Washington in the best spot to get the majority of Abdullah's carries. Slightly clearer than mud, but if you're banking on Washington to save you, it's not the time to be too picky.

Gyno..I was approached with a trade offer of Desean jackson and Jeremy Hill for Dwayne Washington and Hurns.

PPR and my RBs are Hyde, Jamaal Charles, Ware, Washington, and Deangelo Williams. Wrs are Evans, Green, Tyrell Williams and Hurns.

Reason I ask is, I'm going to make a grab at Howard if I make the trade but I'm really on the fence. What do you think?

I've been eyeing him and Kenyan Drake but picked up Washington. I was thinking of dropping Moncrief for Howard since I don't expect Moncrief back until after his bye week and can really use help at RB but after reading your post on another person's topic about Washington I can't help but reconsider my options. "after diving into some tape, he reminds me somewhat of felix jones."
That's a scary comparison.
