Handcuffing is a common practice, especially with known injury risks, like Priest Holmes the last two years.

 

My question is who is worth a cuff, and how late should you wait. Larry Johnson, for example, was unavailable to a lot of Priest ownders, because he has enough speculative value, justified in this case. I doubt many managers are drafting Dee Brown this year. On the other hand, Samkon Gado was a Godsend to some teams last year, and I doubt he was drafted anywhere.

 

So the question is, especially in deep leagues, who is worth a pick? If you have 16 teams with 18 man rosters, should you double EVERYONE?

I believe (and this is just my personal opinion) that it`s a good idea to handcuff any RB that you consider your #1 guy, provided:

1. that his backup is sufficiently talented to compile a reasonable percentage of the starter`s numbers, and......

2. .......that the backup remains in a featured back senario, as opposed to becoming part of a RBBC.

 

Here are 3 RB combos (but not necessarily all the combinations) that I believe fit that discription.

C. Portis/L. Betts

S. Alexander/M. Morris

L. Tomlinson/M. Turner

 

If you`re in a 16 team league that`s drafting 18 rounds, you`re probably drafting water boys and cheerleaders by the end of the draft!
