ReShard

Lee

Parcells seemed to be saying that Richie Anderson would play in hurry-up situations. The only thing we know about the Dallas backfield right now is that we don’t know. It’s a fantasy sinkhole.

Expect Lee and Richie Anderson to get plenty of carries during the first three quarters on Monday night. We’d guess Eddie George will act something like a “closer” this season.

That means, if rookie Julius Jones is active, that the Cowboys will roll with four running backs.

It depends on whether Richie Anderson can play following a concussion. Either way, Lee is now 4th on the depth chart and has no fantasy upside.

The Raiders’ backfield is now quite full, and on paper it would appear they’re poised to use a running back by committee. Griffith averaged 5.6 yards-per-carry in 2006 and is a capable receiver, though he’ll be hard pressed to become a factor in fantasy football. This could spell the end of Zack Crockett’s tenure in Oakland and leaves ReShard Lee, Joe Echemandu, and Justin Fargas possibly competing for a roster spot.

He’s now missing practice time, which won’t help Lee’s chances of making the 53-man roster at an already deep position. Good news for Justin Fargas.

Lee had knee surgery in May and missed most of early camp. The versatile but plodding fullback/tailback hybrid has a decent chance to get picked up.

The Raiders use a running back committee on the goal line. Zack Crockett got the first crack early in the second quarter, gaining two yards down to the one. Then Lee came in and closed the deal. Justin Fargas was not a part of Oakland’s goal-line rotation.

Lee was stripped by C.C. Brown after a 13-yard run in the first quarter and DeMarcus Faggins returned it to the house from 58 yards to put Houston up 7-0 early. It appears Lee will remain a member of Oakland’s committee, however, as he continued to get the ball late in the game.
