Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik appeared on Pro Football Talk Live and managed to create unbearable stress for fantasy football players with one of the worst phrases in the English language: "running back by committee." Dominik told PFT Live that while LeGarrette Blount would receive the bulk of the carries, Earnest Graham and Kregg Lumpkin would also receive a decent share of carries. This follows a Sporting News report that Graham would become the primary third down back in the Bucs offense.
LeGarrette Blount Fantasy Impact Blunted By Running Back By Committee?
It’s easy to make grand proclamations prior to the season when you’ve got a plan in mind. However, when Blount is pounding through defensive lines for big gains, it will be interesting to see how much of the load Graham and Lumpkin carry. I could see Graham and Lumpkin splitting 7-10 carries, but not a whole lot more than that. This may change when Sunday gets here, but until proven otherwise, Blount remains a must-start.
