Does he have any chance of being a productive back? Its currently in rd 12 of my 12 team draft and hes still around. I only have three RBs, even though they are J. Lew, Taylor and Henry, but I could use another one. I wanna grab Scobey later and hope one of them does well.

Does anyone have any info on Emmit Smith?

Once shipp comes back its all over, but I wouldn't mind trying him out if you got a bye week, couldn't hurt.

unless you have a more pressing need, you can never go wrong picking a guaranteed starting RB

Shipp might not ever come back. This injury is career threatening, not just season ending.

wow, I didnt know all that. I thought it was just season ending. What a short career but that equates to about average for the nfl player doesn't it?

I might not mind plugging Emmitt in on a bye week against a crappy run D, but IMO, in any other circumstance, he's nothing more than a bench warmer... If he's out there in the very late rounds, I'll snag him as a #4 or #5 RB, but nothing more...

Plindsey is about right, simply for the fact he has the starting job Emmitt is worth drafting as a 4th RB, but don't expect much.

please retire Emmitt :-/

I picked him up as a #4...He will move up to #3 if Jackson isn't starting in St Louis (meaning Marshall isn't hurt.) Hopefully I will only need him for bye weeks. I don't want part of a RBBC when I need a back on a bye week..So I will take my chances with him unless someone else appeals to me more when the time comes...

But I would take him with not expecting the world and as a back on the bench awaiting a bye week.

Disappointing that KG chimed in on this thread but didn't plug "Emmitt's going to have a great year" one more time. ;-7
