[QUOTE="astonjay32, post: 508762, member: 9169"] Hello, everyone. Friendly Redskins fan and avid fantasy football player here, looking for some local insight regarding the Green Bay backfield. As of Monday's practice (8/19), DuJuan Harris was getting first team reps in practice, which seems to be in line with McCarthy's repeated statements this preseason that Harris is the starter, with Lacy being the presumed goal line back. As an outsider (who's admittedly seen very little of Harris beyond those two playoff games last year), I find that decision a bit hard to believe. Do you guys really expect Harris to be the starter Week 1, if so, for how long? As a fantasy guy, I look at Lacy and see a potential STUD. I know, I know, you guys are a passing team, I get that. But with all due respect to Harris (and Green, Starks, Benson, Kuhn, etc.), you haven't had a horse like this in awhile. He's bigger, faster, great pass blocker, capable as a receiver, and looked beastly in your last preseason game. Beyond the two playoff games in which he was decent, what has Harris done to secure that job? In the game in which he had the most opportunity to run (Week 17), he averaged less than 3 yards per carry. And it's not like he was a highly touted prospect, either. He was undrafted, signed and cut by Jags, signed and cut by the Steelers and was selling cars when you guys signed him. Are you telling me THAT's your guy? If so, why spend a second rounder on Lacy, and then a fourth rounder on Franklin, rather than get some OL to help protect the QB that was sacked more than anyone last year? I'm sorry, doesn't add up. Help me understand! I want to draft Lacy in several of my leagues, as I think he'll eventually win the job and put a season similar to Ryan Grant's glory years in 2007-2009, something in the neighborhood of 1200 yards and 10 touchdowns. Am I crazy? Or do you all think he's really going to be limited this year and remain the #2 behind CarMax? Appreciate the insight, fellas. I'll be watching your final preseason game tonight, that's for sure. Good luck this season! (Except in Week 2. All the luck in the world won't help you then :) ) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
