The Playoff Grind and Its Effect on Running Backs

(by Joseph Malizia)

How many carries is too many? Last year, one of the most hotly debated issues was whether or not to take a risk on a RB who carried the football more than 350 times. The prominent examples last year were Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings and Michael Turner of the Atlanta Falcons. Peterson went on to have a fantastic year, scoring 18 total TDs on another 314 carries. Michael Turner started out like gang busters until an ankle injury cut his season short in Week 10.

There are 16 rounds in a standard Yahoo league. I will break up the draft in quartets and give you a line of players to follow for each quarter. These will be based on Yahoo ADP (average draft positions found the “Draft Central” section of your hockey league. The first group would be Rounds 1-4 (inclusive), then Rounds 5-8, then Rounds 9-12, followed by a round of late round/undrafted players. [More]
