Pierce. I don't see Dwyer being one of those handcuff players that can jump in to a starter role and perform. Ellington was a special talent that Arizona was gonna utilize, Dwyer ain't that talent.

Dwyer has that talent IMO.

Grabbed Ellington with pick 4.2 in a 12 man, so I hope he can be healthy, but it is not like I put all my stock into him.

I was just able to grab Dwyer in both of my leagues just in case but it doesn't make me feel any better about it. Damn.

I don't know about handed the keys to the offense. He had one game with over 6 rushing attempts last year. He went 12/39 against Chicago in week 3, which is weak, but he averaged 4 YPC last year. That is better than Leveon in the same offense.

The RB situation is something to stay away from in Arizona. If anything this makes Floyd and Fitzgerald a bit more valuable

If I didn't need a back to play and was gong for more upside, is rather Taylor.

Catches passes and is a strong inside runner. Not much wiggle, but if he was a volume guy then he'd do just fine.

I've got Charles, Ellington, Vereen, and Moreno in standard league.

Go get Dwyer or roll my dice with Moreno or Vereen?

What u guys think?

Is that guy who was pumping Ellington as a top 5 RB on suicide watch right now?

My 4 RBs are:

Should I bump Sankey to RB2 this week?

I know. Sankey and Bradshaw were my long plays. I didn't expect to use either one until week 4 when half my team has a bye.

Ellington never reached 225 carries in a college season, but was frequently injured at Clemson. A severe toe injury cost him nearly half of his sophomore year, and he underwent post-season surgery to repair a ligament tear and fractured sesamoid bone. He played through an ankle injury as a junior and had surgery after the year. Ellington battled a bad hamstring as a senior, followed by setbacks during the 2013 pre-draft process. He suffered a concussion in 2013 training camp. He missed a game with a sprained MCL. He missed practice time with knee and thigh injuries. Sports Injury Predictor's algorithm has identified Ellington as one of the four likeliest running backs to suffer a 2014 injury.

My Lacey/Ball/Ellington squad is dropping like flies. Stupid small bench means I can't grab both backups.

Going to bench Ellington and ride J Hunter until he gets back. Not ideal.
