Fantasy Upside
Bishop Sankey’s a multi-talented running back who catches the ball well out of the backfield. He was also brought in by new head coach Whisenhunt, who isn’t afraid to let the offense flow through his running backs.
Fantasy Downside
The rookie hasn’t torn it up in the preseason. He hasn’t been bad, mind you, but he also hasn’t been head and shoulders above veteran Shonn Greene, either. He could wind up as part of a committee approach.
Bottom Line
Sankey has a nose for the end zone, as his 20 touchdowns last season would suggest. But Greene is a bigger back, so he could wind up in that role. This is looking more like a 50-50 split between Sankey and Greene to start the season, which makes Sankey’s ADP of 48th overall, a little high. Remember, Whisenthunt was in charge of the San Diego running back committee last season. But Sankey will probably be the most valuable Tennessee running back and could gain value as the season wears on.
