Bengals Cut Rookie RB Dan Herron: Fantasy Implications
The Bengals cut rookie running back Dan Herron out of Ohio State on Friday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Herron was seen as a potential late gem in the 2012 NFL Draft when he was selected in the sixth round out of Ohio State. A depth chart of BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Bernard Scott is hardly the most daunting at first glance, but Herron struggled to earn significant carries during any of the Bengals' four preseason games. He could earn invitations for tryouts, but being released in his first year in the league doesn't bode well for his career.
