Two Big Forgotten Running Backs

Fantasy football drafts have started and I have noticed something that is rather remarkable. Two of this years biggest sleeper running backs are going nowhere. I mean people are simply not drafting Reuben Droughns and Jamal Lewis. I love both of these guys and I have studied tape of them this year and they have been impressive.

Jamal Lewis is a beast. Too many people got burnt on him last year and it is their own fault. The guy was in the Fed Pen for a couple of months right after he had surgery on his ankle and people were wondering if he would be in tip-top shape. Combine that with a back-up playing for a contract and a crappy QB and it makes for a horrible year. This year Chester is gone and Boller is warming the bench. I think that Jamal will put up top 12 running back numbers in a PPR league and even better in a non-PPR. Game 1 and Game 2.

Reuben Droughns: The guy has two 1200 plus seasons in a row and is still stuck in a low to mid third round pick. The guy has looked solid and explosive. Fast and powerful. I believe the improved D will provide him with a short field. I also do not believe that Cinci can stop the run. I admit that he plays in a tough divison but he should be solid. Check out his preseason totals thus far. Game 1. Game 2.
