Interesting but this O-line is a mess - not sure if he will be able to generate anything back there.

I want a scatback that can actually be a runner.
I see plenty of flashy joystick moves in LaRod, but nothing I want for fantasy.
Id rather have Powell or even Smith.

He is a dangerous specialty back who causes matchup problems for defenses.

You really don't want any piece of this backfield.

Any RB that gets 10+ touches has a decent amount of value these days, but I have to agree that if you starting any Arizona back this year, you're probably not going to win your league. That O-Line is horrible, any they won't have an RB that can create yards on his own. Tough schedule coming up and they're in a tough defensive division.

Yeah facing SF and SEA twice a year definitely doesn't help their case.

The Panthers took all those guys off the market with those contracts

where do you see that?I like LSH the best of any of the backs due to his receiving ability. AZ can't and doesn't run so I like LSH to get a lot of dump offs and screens. Might be a decent play....

My leagues are deeped, but I was honestly surprised to wake up and see LSH (and Powell) claimed in waivers in all 3 of my leagues. Not worth it, IMO. The ARZ backfield has RBBC/hot hand written all over it week to week

I ended up with this guy on my team - we get half pts for return yards - I'm hoping there is something to this.
He seems to be able to create positve plays in space so hopefully the cards get his some opps.
Any idea what his college career looked like?

Ok I looked it up myself
He was the starter for 1 year at Pitt had 178 carries for 893 yards and 9 TD's - 5.0 YPR.
The next year he was replaced by LeSean McCoy.

He hasn't been used very much in his NFL career, but when he did get the chance last year against the Seahawks he did well.
I don't think he has a lot of long-term value this year since the Cardinals have been struggling to run the ball with any RB, but he could be a low-end RB2 bye-week replacement when the matchup is right and the matchup doesn't get much better than this week at home against Buffalo. So people with Forte, MJD, Sproles, etc. may want to pick him up for a bye-week fill-in.

Powell, simply because he has the best chance of playing on all three downs if he breaks out. ARI already said they don't want to give LSH any type of real work load. If Powell didn't get injured last week I think we would have seen why he's the RB to own, even though none of these guys are all that appealing.

Safe to say that few people saw that kind of workload coming yesterday.
Obviously he's a no-brainer pick up, but the big questions are (1) was the Powell benching just a one-week thing; and (2) even if he earned it in the coaching staff's eyes, can this little guy hold up as a feature back?

Powell was essentially benched after the fumble. Powell was a lot more successful running the ball last week than LSH was. This week, Powell just didn't get any opportunities. He did just fine with the few carries he did receive. I think it's a tough situation to predict. They each had one good game and one bad game. I own Powell and I don't want to waste my waiver priority to drop him for LSH, but if I could do a clean swap without blowing my waiver priority I probably would.

What is the word here? He was dropped in my 16-team league this week where RB is very scarce. He is definitely the starter, right? I am not expecting miracles, but unless there is some reason he won't be getting carries, he is well worth the roster spot to me in that league.

beenie comes back next weekend, thats why he was dropped more than likely...LSH should be good for this weekend though

I'm going with him this week, but you have to wonder what his workload will be like coming off a bye week. Theoretically, the rest should help, but who knows what kind of game plan the coaches implemented in the time off.

Oops, good point.

Mine was because as a Wells dyno owner for the past few years, I am not really sure the Arizona coaching staff ever has a plan. Good luck though.

Didn't catch that. Funny. Picked up Stephens-Howling and Wells in the same week. I'm counting on Beanie as a flex play in the next few weeks.Mine was because as a Wells dyno owner for the past few years, I am not really sure the Arizona coaching staff ever has a plan. Good luck though.
