Chester Taylor's numbers to take a hit?

[Al and Almas]

Mewelde Moore has had numerous opportunities to establish himself as the number one running back in recent years and has proved he cant handle it. Chester Has probably lost third down duties but i dont beleive his numbers will be take too bad of a hit

Chester Taylor is now losing third-down work to Mewelde Moore.

Moore is 100 percent and could become the full-time third-down back late this season. Taylor's PPR value appears likely to take a minor hit.

So which is it: "is" or "could"?

Childress seems to have a perma-boner for Chester. I woudn't expect Moore to hurt his value much.

I don't think he'll lose carries, but he could lose catches if he is hardly ever in on third downs. PPR leagues should watch this closely...thankfully, I'm not in a PPR league so I'm hoping I'll be fine. I just traded away Thomas Jones, so I'm relying a little more heavily on Chester now....

Yeah, with no offensive line.

Just about any decent RB in football could run behind the Vikings pro-bowler O-Line.

He "is" losing some 3rd down work right now, he "could" lose all of it

Well, last night he had 96 yds rushing and 45 receiving. Doesn't seem like a huge hit...
