39) Ahmad Bradshaw: Jacobs can equal injuries. Bradshaw could replace him and be effective.

40) LaMont Jordan: Randy Moss proved last year that the Patriots can turn ex-Raiders to productive fantasy options. He will get you respectable numbers if Maroney goes down. Good handcuff.

41) Leon Washington: One Thomas-Jones injury away from starting for the Jets, but is more of a receiving threat than starting running back threat.

42) Ladell Betts: Good pass-catching back that could see time in the West Coast offense. If you have the roster space, handcuff to Portis.

43) Deuce McAllister: Bush and McAllister will split time, and McAllister will run between the tackles. McAllister has played all 16 games only twice in seven years. Stecker was impressive last year, and Pierre Thomas is waiting in the wings. 

44) Felix Jones: Should play some slot and be a return threat. He is a bye-week replacement if you are desperate.

45) Jerious Norwood: Backup to Turner that could see five-10 touches a game. One of these years, hopefully before he retires, he will be the starting back for the Falcons.
