Who will have more fantasy draft value: Jahvid Greatest or Mikel LeShoure?
The Detroit Lions selected running back again Mikel LeShoure in the 2nd round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and a few fantasy owners had been able to kick Jahvid Best to the curb. All of a sudden, Greatest (a first-rounder in 2010) was an previous, utilized design compared to the shiny, new item fresh off the assembly line in LeShoure.
There's little query that LeShoure's presence cuts into Best's fantasy value on draft day this yr. But it's not as if Best was a lemon in his rookie season. Charlie Frye Brown
Best, you'll remember, burst onto the scene with a pair of touchdowns on Kickoff Weekend against the Bears. The following week, he acquired 232 yards from scrimmage and scored three touchdowns -- for an astounding 41 fantasy points -- in opposition to the Eagles. But then he suffered a turf-toe injury against the Vikings the next week, and by no means was the same the remainder of the season. He sat out 1 game, played sparingly in a number of others and by no means regained his explosiveness.
Still, 1,042 yards from scrimmage and 6 touchdowns as a rookie are not scrap-heap numbers. And now, he enters 2011 without a scratch on him, and an offseason of relaxation around the healed turf toe. That is enough to help keep Greatest atop the depth chart, and also to give him the edge in fantasy value. Charlie Frye White
Still, most reports from Detroit indicate that the Lions intend to utilize LeShoure as being a complementary back again to Best, and it is simple to see why. The 6-foot, 227-pound LeShoure is the half-ton pickup compared to Best's smooth (5-foot-9, 190-pound) sports car. LeShoure's ability to pound the ball tends to make him the preferred for goal-line function, so it is worth retaining an eye on how this backfield timeshare develops.
