Until the Packers deem the timing right to draft an every-down back, they will keep hammering away with Grant on inside zone and outside zone runs. Unless rookie James Starks proves to be a revelation, they will go with Grant until he drops on early downs and plug in Brandon Jackson on passing downs.

"I like Grant, but he's containable," one scout said. "Let's just say there's some yards he leaves on the field. I think he's solid. I just don't think you have to defend him in the passing game that much."

Given his workload, Grant has and should rank well up among the NFL rushing leaders. Last year, he ranked sixth among NFL backs in percentage of his team's carries at 64.4% after receiving even more of the rushing load (71.4%) in 2008.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ryan Grant sits at 9th in the current 4for4.com RB rankings, but lacks the upside of the RBs on either side of him in the rankings. Grant is about as safe a play as they come at the RB position, with his draft stock where it is because of health, consistency, a good system, and a good workload. Backs like Ryan Mathews, Shonn Greene, Michael Turner, and DeAngelo Williams all have more upside than Ryan Grant, but come with more risk.

Jets Looking To Define RB Roles

It’s kind of amazing. The Jets led the NFL in rushing, yet 50% of that league-leading backfield is gone – Thomas Jones and Leon Washington. Training camp will be about trying to define roles for Shonn Greene (is he well-rounded enough to play on any down?), LaDainian Tomlinson (can he adjust to a complementary role?) and Joe McKnight (can he replace Washington as the third-down back?)

On many levels, this will be a new experience for Tomlinson. In San Diego, he barely broke a sweat in pre-season games, but now he’ll be asked to carry a decent workload as he assimilates into the Jets’ system and tries to convince the coaches he’s still worthy of a significant role. Greene missed a chunk of his rookie camp with a sprained ankle, so his No. 1 goal is to stay healthy. The coaches are eager to see if his receiving skills have improved to the point where he can be trusted in any situation. Don’t expect to see a lot of Tony Richardson in camp; at 38, he’ll be used judiciously. That will allow to the two young battering rams, rookie John Conner and Jason Davis, to receive more reps.

Fantasy Impact: 

If Shonn Greene's receiving skills improved this offseason, he could see more third down opportunities. This could be huge in PPR formats.

Shonn Greene shot me that I-know-you-didn’t-say-what-I-thought-you-said look when I broached the topic about tweaking his running style to better preserve his body.

The Jets have a stingy defense and a promising young quarterback, but Greene is likely the most irreplaceable piece to its championship puzzle.

For a run-heavy team with Super Bowl aspirations, it’s imperative that the bruising second-year running back stays healthy. So, I proposed a few hypothetical scenarios designed to avoid contact and keep Greene on the field for the duration of the season.

Each of my suggestions was summarily dismissed.

“We don’t run out of bounds,” Greene told me. “I’ve been taught that all my life…. I don’t think that’s going to help the way I play by doing that. If I just go out and do what I do, everything else will take care of itself.”

“That’s what I do,” he added. “I play the game of football. You can’t worry, ‘Oh, what if I do this? What if I run out of bounds?’ No, that’s not the game of football to me. Football is a hard-nosed game.”

Fantasy Impact: 

The sky is the limit for Shonn Greene this year. He knows the spotlight is on him after the great season Thomas Jones had in 2009. With one of the best running backs in history (LT) backing him up, Greene is geared up for 2010. He is currently ranked #13 on the 4for4 RB Cheat Sheet.
