Jamal Lewis?

The Shocker · 08-10-2006, 09:17 PM

What are your expectations for him??

inSTAALed · 08-10-2006, 09:53 PM

Pretty good 2nd starter or backup RB.

Dr.Funk · 08-11-2006, 01:50 AM

Not a whole hell of a lot.

I think he is getting underrated myself. Lewis lost carries to Taylor lost year because Taylor was more elusive and a better receiver. Now his primary back-up is plays almost the exact same style as Lewis: strait-line runner. Plus, Lewis is a better recevier than Anderson. That means that Lewis won't lose touches to a chance-of-pace back or come off the field on 3rd downs. He will only be replaced for breathers.

Lewis could be a 1200, 8+ TD back.

that's a big could be. that offense is a grinder style, git-r-done on the ground deal. that said, 1200/8 is not a bad expectation - think though - how are they gonna spread the ball around to open up the box for lewis? who they gonna air it out to?

i think they will throw the ball a bit to lewis more and he is a much better reciever. so 1200 total yards might be well within reach...

Time for Derrick Mason to step up.

I would draft him with the intention of using him as a #3 RB but there is certainly the upside for him to be a #2, however I would caution against beginning your season with him as your #2 if possible.

PredsFan77 · 08-11-2006, 03:11 PM

I expect him to take two eightballs before the game and then proceed to destroy the opposing D like Tony Montana.

I picked him as my #2 RB. I really think he could come back strong and get 1100 yards.

Same here. Although I think I took him a little early (4th round) but I needed a #2 back and there was not much left. Also, I did not think he would still be there when my pick came around again.

Yep. I grabbed him for the same reason, he wouldn't have been around when I picked again.

We seem to think a lot alike with this fantasy football thing. I have agreed with a lot of the things you have said and picked a lot of the same players.

inSTAALed · 08-11-2006, 08:09 PM

I also picked Lewis in the fourth round..

DirtyHawgs · 08-12-2006, 08:58 PM

Lewis in the 4th round is good value. If he regains his form, and McNair can move the ball around and make defenses respect the passing game, you should see a nice year out of Lewis.
