#2 RB

Question

I was expecting good things out of Derrick Ward this year as my #2 RB. But boy genius Raheem Morris in one week decided to fire his Offensive Coordinator &amp; go with a 3 back rotation. &#xD;&#xA;   Why would you pay millions of dollars to get Ward from N.Y. and then have him back up Earnest Graham.&#xD;&#xA;    1st 2 series for Graham, 3rd &amp; 4th to Ward &amp; 5th&amp;6th to Williams.&#xD;&#xA;     Anyways my question is should I bench Ward vs. Dallas in favor of Darren Sproles S.D. @ Oak ?&#xD;&#xA;      This is a 14 team league &amp; there&#x27;s not much left out there . How many touches &amp; what are your projections for both backs?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;                     Thanks for your input

This one is a tough one, I have Ward as my bench RB too and I had high hopes for him but with this 3-Back System going on now in TB, his stock fell. With there opponent being Dallas in Week 1, I can't really see him do much work with Dallas giving up only 11 TDs last year.
As for Sproles, not too sure how many attempts he'll being getting against the Raiders but if Richard Seymour does show up, there rush defense has gotten a big boost with his presence as well as new addition Greg Ellis.

Basically man, it's a toss up.

Projection

Darren Sproles
7 Rushes
31 Yards
1 Reception
11 Yards

Derrick Ward
8 Rushes
32 Yards
2 Receptions
8 Yards

actually the split will be Williams 2, Ward 2 Graham 1I think Ward is their best choice but I am not a fan of any Tampa player this year
