While Duke is a good pass catching back, he's not a run between the tackles back. I suspect if Miller is out, Houston will be looking at some cuts. It is rumored the Shady McCoy might not make the final cuts in Buffalo. If cut (and he saves Buffalo significant money), he'd make an interesting option for Houston. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 25, 2019 He’s most likely done, tough break. Duke gains some value but I’d think they bring someone in like Gordon or Hyde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read someone mentioning that they'll watch Philadelphia's cuts, possibly Josh Adams or Donnel Pumphrey or Baltimore's cuts of Kenneth Dixon or Gus Edwards. Also, don't rule out Carlos Hyde or Shady McCoy ending up with the Texans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FantasyRetard 49 Posted August 25, 2019 3 minutes ago, IGotWorms said: Why McCoy? Dudes washed up LeSean McCoy rushed six times for 37 yards in Buffalo's third preseason game against the Lions. McCoy looked spry as ever, showing explosiveness in avoiding tackles in both the second and third levels. He also played 14 snaps to Frank Gore's nine with the first-string offense, though this situation is clearly heading for a down-the-middle timeshare. There's still questions surrounding McCoy's spot on the roster post-final cuts, making him a late-round flier as opposed to a locked-in mid-round FLEX. He finishes the preseason with 10/43/1 rushing. Shady's gotten rave reviews in camp, looking as healthy as ever. So, he doesn't appear washed up just yet. If he's cut, Houston could sign him to a low-cost deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snatchit 108 Posted August 25, 2019 I draft tomorrow, a late round speculation on who they get, could be gold. I think one of the Ravens backs will be cut, but the same with the Bills. Any other teams ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted August 25, 2019 As a Duke owner I'd rather go with this Adam Levitan Not sure why it's assumed Duke Johnson can't handle a featured role. * 210 pounds * Averaged 18.4 carries over final two NCAA seasons * HOU gave a 3rd-rd pick for him * Never missed an NFL game in four seasons 4:57 PM - 24 Aug 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xxxdog 23 Posted August 25, 2019 If I was Houston I would target the Ravens in a possible trade for a RB, they are overstocked with decent backs {Engram-Edwards-Dixon-Hill}..Engram , Edwards and Hill look locked in Baltimore, leaving Dixon who has size, speed and 5.6 yd average plus talented maybe on the market...I think he would have no problem starting on a few teams.....

oldtimer 84 Posted August 26, 2019 On 8/24/2019 at 10:37 PM, American Chewy said: wasn't duke's issue with concussions? No. His issue was consistent turnover at coaching positions in Cleveland. When they drafted him, I thought he would become their lead back. He did in college and did it in spectacular fashion. People assume he's a small running back. He's not. He ran up the middle in college and has even done so in Cleveland, when called upon. He simply got drafted into a really bad situation and was stuck there. I'm not saying he's going to be great, but the guy can run with the football just as well as he can receive. I have no doubts that even if they bring someone in, they will still utilize him enough to make him a Flex option on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted August 27, 2019 Hmm. Im pretty sure hes been through concussion protocol a few times but didnt miss any games. There was some thought they were gonna be careful with his usage so he didnt get another. This was a few yrs ago. Probably not relevant now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
