Last season we saw Steve Slaton and Matt Forte bust onto the scene like they were 5 year vets. This year is not as strong as last season. But who are some guys you could draft late or pick up in free agency to help your team?
Andre Brown is a runningback the Giants took in the 4th round. He had a very successful college career. He is a versatile back and with the departure of Derrick Ward, Physical play of Brandon Jacobs and legal troubles of Ahmad Bradshaw makes Brown a guy to look out for. A guy you may want to take if you have Jacobs.
Travis Beckum is a player the Giants drafted with their second pick in the third round. Beckum was an excellent pass catcher in college. Something the Giants have lacked since trading Shockey. Beckum isn't somebody I would take early and depend on but could be good depth on your roster.
LeSean McCoy was taken in the second round. He will definitely get some touches to take the pressure off Brian Westbrook. Westbrook is a great back but gets banged up alot. Look for McCoy to have some big games this year. He is a second round pick like Forte was a year ago.
Brandon Tate is a talented wide reciever who would have been a first round pick had he not had a season ending knee surgery his senior year. He is on a deep Patriots roster and should fill the role that Stallworth and Gaffney have had. He could be a good flex option if your league has one. especially in a twelve team league.
Rashad Jennings is a big back out of a small school. He was selected in the seventh round and could be a goal line option for the Jags. Sometimes a guy can score 2 touchdowns and run for 25 yards and save you due to bye weeks or injury.
Jared Cook should be the starting tight end in Tennessee this season. He is very athletic can may be a good fit if your starter goes down or has a bye week. The Titans don't throw a ton but could throw a little more this season with the additions of Cook and Kenny Britt.
These are some names to look out for late in your draft or on the waiver wire. Good luck!
