Green Bay Packers 2010 Running Back Preview
Ryan Grant
After Frank Gore, there is a drop off at the running back position.
Ryan Grant is not a stud but he remains one of the more underrated
fantasy backs. 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns is a pretty safe pick
for your number one running back.
The Packers are all about passing with Aaron Rodgers, but that leads
to lots of points and lots of goal line carries for Grant. Not to
mention when winter sets in, Grant gets more work and thus makes
a good playoff back. Yet another positive for Grant is he is the
man in Green Bay.
There is no second back. Brandon Jackson is a classic third-down
back with no chance of stealing serious time from Grant.
The offensive line played well as run blockers, though lousy as
pass blocker. The Packers resigned veteran tackle Chad Clifton and
spent their #1 pick on tackle Bryan Bulaga and a fifth-round pick
on guard Marshall Newhouse so the line should improve notch in 2010
with the depth.
If you missed out on the studs and you like safe picks, go with
Ryan Grant.
