Take a chance on Wells, Matthews, or Blount?

Postby teezy33 » Fri Oct 29, 2010 1:56 pm

I'm desperately thin at RB (Foster, Torain, Lynch, and Bush), and I've tried all year to grab a gem off the waiver wire, with some limited success. Now that McFadden is back and healthy, I feel like I can dump Bush off and take a chance with one of the RB's that's available off waivers. Who do you like most to have a strong finish, Beanie Wells, Ryan Matthews, or the young up-and-comer LeGarret Blount? Other relevant RB's available include Reggie Bush, Fred Jackson, and Shonn Green, but I have no confidence that these three are fantasy relevant...

I still like M. Bush's upside more than Matthews, and it's kind of a push with Blount (though I'd still prolly take him if you put a gun to my head), but I really think Wells is your guy. The Cards are committed to giving him the ball more and he's got the best opportunity of the guys you listed. Greene is interesting only if LT goes down, but he should still be on your radar.

For the record, I think you've done pretty good getting Torain and Lynch - I think they will surprise you in the second half (especially Lynch) - if you can hit on this next pickup, you might even be able to deal to upgrade your RB2, or even WR or QB if you need it ;-D

For this week, I feel like Wells has the most upside. There have been reports of him possibly getting 30 plus carries. For the season, I still think its Mathews, he finally put in a full week of practice, so it will be interesting to see if Norv lives up to his word and gives him a full workload.
