Besides E Elliot who has the easiest path to 15 or more carries a game if not early on, halfway thru the season : D. Henry [ Titans] , D. Booker [Denver], K. Drake [Dolphins] , C. J. Prosise [Seahawks] , T. Ervin [Texans], K. Dixon {Ravens], Paul Perkins, [NYG] D. Washington [Raiders], Wendell Smallwood [Eagles] J. Howard[ Bears], . What is the potential impact of D. Washington on L. Murray's production. What about K. Reynolds who scored 88 TD's for the Navy Midshipman in 4 years ? Will he even play this season? Most likely a WR who could be a real sleeper as he can run between the tackles as well I am very intrigued by his talent, smarts and big time potential.
None of these guys have a clear path to a full workload, so I'd be looking at the ones with the murkiest depth chart.
Smallwood runs well and will be behind the oft-injured Mathews, so that's worth a look.
Henry is the most likely to get touches, but unless Murray gets hurt, he's unlikely to get 15+ per game, and won't likely help in the passing game.
I like Perkins, Dixon, and Ervin to all have a shot to form a spot in the rotation. Dixon is probably the guy I'm going to target late in dynasty leagues since Forsett is older and Buck Allen struggled to hang on to the ball. Taliaferro coming off an injury and is a bit one-dimensional. Dixon has an outside shot to win a job there.
I'm not sure Reynolds' availability right now, as I know he'll have a Navy commitment. Sometimes they defer it, but it sounds like he's currently requesting that, which isn't necessarily for sure. They could make him serve up to five years before playing in the NFL if they want to. I don't think it's resolved yet.
I don't see Washington being the guy who affects Murray. He's more of a scat back who will try to take Roy Helu's job as a change-of-pace back, and Taiwan Jones' job in the return game.
