Ronnie Brown comeback?

Question

Think he can work his way back as the #1 fantasy RB in the NFL? Last year thru 6 games he had more points than anyone (LT, Adrian, ETC.)

Answer 1

Not #1, but I bet he will be top 10 for sure.  Better than his ADP anyway.  I absolutely do not believe that he will not be healthy for the start of the season.  His only danger is teammates stealing carries.  I will confidently draft Brown.

Answer 2

He's going to have to work his way back to fantasy relevance.

2nd or 3rd back no problem for this year

I wonder if Parcell's likes him?

Answer 3

Well, he and Ricky Williams both figure to be back, and sharing carries.

I would not consider Brown a first tier RB.  Typically a back does not return to "normal" until a full year after a knee injury.

Edgerrin James was that way when he destroyed his knee while with Indy.

Right now footballguys.com has Brown ranked at #30 overall, sandwiched between the likes of Jamal Lewis and Michael Turner.

Plus, Miami's QB situation is very unsettled.  Trent Green is gone, and he did not play as poorly as the media portrayed.

He has upside, but he's a better RB2 or flex play going into the season.
