LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 22, 2014 In deep leagues, now is the time to pick him up. He's clearly ahead of Bolden and possibly more talented as well. All signs point to him seeing an increased workload as the season goes on. And historically Belicheat has always preferred big physical backs. Vereen's role will stay the same as they slowly work Gray into the "Ridley" role. Just my prediction. i'm spending my 1st move this week on Bryce Brown but if I don't get him i'm going after Gray over Dixon. Keeper league i always go after upside and Dixon's is the lowest IMO.

t-birdie 8 Posted October 23, 2014 White must be plain f'ing awful if he wasn't even active. And of course I had White and was waiting on him to get a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yogidog 1 Posted October 24, 2014 I think White is being groomed to replace Vereen. He doesn't fit the big physical rb role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philo312 41 Posted October 24, 2014 I saw him play a lot his Jr year at ND backing up Cierre Wood and as a ST player. He's a big back/ north south runner with a high leg kick and decent stiff arm/ no juke moves whatsoever. Physically, he looks like a beast, but on the field, he lacked patience and intelligence. He got tripped up very easily. I recall thinking, "jesus, go man..hit the hole! it's is wide open!" He blew out his knee a few games into 2011 vs. BC. I'm no scout, but he just lacked that "it" factor and perhaps had a low football IQ(?) As an ND homer, I hope he's developed skills and finds NFL success. Last I heard he was cut by Miami.

Yogidog 1 Posted October 26, 2014 I think Gray goes off today. The Bears have firepower and are banged up on defense. This is the type of scenario which Belichick will want to get up early and then run the ball to salt the game away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rsmnutt 8 Posted November 2, 2014 Remember the Pats still have Vereen and the Broncos haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher this year. Not a favorable match up for Gray, seems to be TD dependent in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
