RaiderHaters Revenge 3,578 Posted September 5, 2009 the last couple years there has been a back who has come outta absolutely nowhere, guys that werent even mentioned as possibilities preseason. whose your guys pick this year for that outta nowhere guy James Davis, Glen Coffee, guys like that are excluded from this, deeper then them my prediction Jalen Parmele, Bal with all the hype surround Rice now, and his small frame an injury is not outta the realm of possibility, Mcgahee is bleh at best, and injury prone himself, and Mcclain is too fat now to be an every down back so there you have mine, what are some of yours?

themorey 1 Posted September 5, 2009 I'll toss my homer pick in the ring: Shonne Greene, RB, Jets (5'11" 227lbs) Thomas Jones has not looked good this preseason. The dude is a physical specimen but he is so slow to the hole. Factor in that he's now post 30 and he's bound to have a let down. That will open the door for Shonne Greene as the smash back to Leon Washington's dash. Reports from camp are that Greene has looked good when healthy but he's had ankle and rib injuries during camp that kept him out the last 2 preseason games. When healthy he showed flashes of the talent that caused Jets to trade up for him in round 3. By the 2nd half of the season I'm thinking Greene will be the primary ball carrier.

PackYourNut 47 Posted September 5, 2009 That's just silly. Too many things going on there. I'd say M. Goodson for the Panthers, just in case DWill goes down. It doens't look like Stewart is gonna be healthy anytime soon. Or maybe A. Peterson (CHI), since K. Jones just got lost for the season. If forte goes down, Wolfe is too small to carry the load. Or maybe Just maybe. P. Hillis again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 5, 2009 A couple other nominees from years past: 07 E. Graham 08 P. Thomas This year? Maybe Arizona will try and get a running game going with Warner & Co. struggling to recapture the magic of last year. Beanie Wells? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted September 5, 2009 id say '07 Ryan Grant '08 Pierre Thomas as the biggest out of nowhere surprises those years. injuries played a big part in both getting their chances. this year ill say.... Justin Forsett or Cadillac Williams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Forsett or Cadillac Williams I had Pierre Thomas in 07 also and he had a couple good games. I actually had Thomas on my roster from week one as my Bush handcuff last year, as did some others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted September 5, 2009 I had Pierre Thomas in 07 also and he had a couple good games. I actually had Thomas on my roster from week one as my Bush handcuff last year, as did some others Thomas had a much more comparable season to Ryan Grant's of 07 in terms of fantasy production. Hillis was good but not quite as good as Pierre was for fantasy owners. Pierre became a star down the stretch like Grant did in 2007. Im sure a few people had Thomas but Im willing to say he went largely undrafted. Plus if I recall, alot of people were still drafting Duece last year?
