Timmy B. What a blast from the past. Here's a story for you from my main league.

A few years back I was being killed by injuries at RB. I had two guys targeted to pick up one week and I felt I had a real good shot at both of them. As it turned out I was right, I got one guy and nobody bid on the other (this was like in Week 2 before either guy had really done anything). So who did I pick up?

Timmy Biakabatuka.

And who did I decline to pick up?

Anthony Thomas.

Oh, did I mention that was the year the A-Train won the Rookie of the Year award? He had a huge game that week and somebody else was higher in the Waiver order the next week and grabbed him.

Biakabatuka sucked by the way. Big time.

OK and back to the present day Carolina RB situation, I don't really know what's going to happen, but I have a hunch. Now it's not anything novel or earth-shattering. It's just a hunch.

That's all.

No mocking for me tonight. I'm going out to watch the Packers-Chargers game. Sorry guys.

Ok, you're killing me. That story was cool. And I love to hear about fantasy wins and losses, but you can't dangle a possible starting RB in this room and stop right there...lol

I'm glad you enjoyed the story of my despair.

Funny thing is I ended up still finishing in the money that year and I had Mike Alstott as my RB1 for the final few weeks. I'm telling you I was being killed by injuries at RB.

As far as Carolina goes, I think Foster opens the season as the starting RB but I don't think he'll start the most games at the position.

I think Shelton's going to be the guy there. Obviously I'm not alone with that thinking but the Panthers clearly want him to be their starting RB at some point and I think he'll get a shot this season and he won't relinquish the job.
