Derrick Ward keeper value

I realize that leaving the giants o line which is arguably one of the best in the league to a bucs team will hurt his value. Does anyone think he will be out earnest graham for the starting job?

I too have questions about Wards value next year as I own him in a Dynasty. The thing I like is that TB had the 11th most rushing attempts in the league. That is good. Graham is coming off of an injury as well as C. Williams. Ward is a complete back he can run, catch and block. He will start as a time split and then, IMO, Ward comes out on top. Still splits about 65-35.

I think Kevarcen is fairly accurate with the 65/35 split. I would put Ward as a borderline RB2/RB3 running back with upside.

I think Ward does have some value, but it is hard to figure out what it will be. Tampa right now is turning over it's entire roster and who knows what will happen. If there defense is unable to stop anyone then they may be forced to pass to catch up, which could hurt his stats. I don't think that they have a solid qb, which may also cause some problems for them. Right now I would rank Ward as a borderline # 2 high end # 3 rb, but he does have some upside. Depend on what other possible players you have and who you are thinking about keeping.
