Alright RC, can you do it again??? Who is the next Hillis??

The entire city of Detroit has been waiting...still waiting.

So true

Based on last night's performance, I'm sticking with a Daboll running back and saying Reggie Bush. 81 yards on ten touches is pretty impressive and doesn't count an 11 yard run nullified by Lydon Murtha's holding problem.

RC, thanks for the reply! And thanks for everyone's thoughts!

Here is another late round guy I am keeping my eye one in ppr leagues: Dexter McCluster. Didn't do much last year, but I expect KC ito get him more involved all over the field this season. Could end up being serviceable as a flex play or bye week guy.

Browns | Owen Marecic's role expanding? Tue Aug 23, 10:23 AM The Cleveland Browns are trying to get rookie FB Owen Marecic more involved as a pass-catcher, as is usually required in the West Coast offense. He is coming along slowly.

Our view: Marecic is a fantastic receiver out of the backfield in addition to being a strong inside runner. He's a perfect fit for this system and could be more involved than some think.

Unless we are going with Aaron Brown, I'm thinking that we don't have a clear solid pick saying "this is the guy". The thread got a little watered down

I mentioned Brown, then threw in Hightower as a much better clone to last years Hillis scenario. I feel Hightower owners are gonna speak loudly this season, since he will likely be a #3 or #4 RB, but he needs to hold on to the ball.

 

[gruntbusters]

Sweet..there we have it...Hightower is the man for this year! Let's wait and see!! I could trade for him, but not sure it's a wise long term dynasty move...I'd more than likely be giving up Santonio Holmes or maybe even a Brandon Marshall for him. I mean it's a washington RB...sure, he could go off this year, but what about next?

 

[Phicinfan]

Well if you are talking non rb....

Graham in NO will be a stud at TE this year.
Also look out for the rookie Te in Denver. He has been a main stay target in redzone in practice. Kid is catching everything.

 

[Remote Controller]

Liking Hightower alot!

 

[cctekguy]

Agreed, RC.

But....You know Shanny can't stand having a good RB.

Beanie (with Williams out) looks a whole lot better to me right now.

 

[Phicinfan]

Hightower is sitting pretty, Redskins running game looked solid last night, but I LOVE Helu after watching that kid.. :wow:

As I said in the other thread....take Wells at your own risk,....he will get hurt, and kill your team if you rely on him.

You hit Peyton Hillis out of the ballpark last year! Absolute HOME RUN! So your up again, who is the ppr gem RB to keep an eye on? I'm not expecting you to pluck another top 5 guy out of the trash heap, but who can be had in the last couple round that you are keeping an eye on that will make a difference and is worth a flyer?

Anyone else who wants to chime in, let's hear your prediction as well.

ppr is where Aaron Brown will do his damage, if given the chaNCE. Tonight he has 4 for 48 and a TD.
