Giants Beat: RB Shane Vereen 'not just going to be a third-down back'

Get ready for a lot of Shane Vereen, the versatile running back signed as a free agent this offseason. Vereen seemed to find his way onto the field constantly, and was catching pass after pass. He's not just going to be a third-down back.

"He can be a quarterback's best friend in a way in the passing game," McAdoo said.

Remember, the Giants like to pass on first, second and third down these days.

Fantasy Impact: 

Vereen’s arrival in New York puts a dent in the fantasy value of both Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams. Vereen has always been a factor in PPR formats, and the Giants have shown a willingness to utilize their running backs in the passing game (e.g. Tiki Barber) under HC Tom Coughlin. Vereen should post solid RB3 numbers in PPR formats, provided he stays healthy.

Giants Beat: RB Shane Vereen will be a 'big part of the offense'

Giants RB Shane Vereen caught pass after pass out of the backfield, in particular in the red zone. He's going to be a big part of the offense.

Fantasy Impact: 

Tiki Barber racked up 164 catches in three seasons under HC Tom Coughlin. Coughlin is a defensive mind, but that's proof that he's willing to let his offense utilize the running backs out of the backfield. Vereen could push for RB2 numbers in PPR formats, but with Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams, the team's RB corps is pretty crowded.

Titans compare Bishop Sankey to Tiki Barber

The Tennessean

General manager Ruston Webster discussed the Titans' pick of RB Bishop Sankey...

"We were looking for a guy with some versatility, but not exactly trying to replace C.J.," Webster said. "… He is just completely different as a back. Their skill-set is not the same, so when you see him on the field, it is not going to look anything like Chris, and he'll make his own mark."

Sankey, who started 25 of 38 games in college and rushed for 1,870 yards and 20 touchdowns in his final season, has good speed (4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash). He reminded Titans scout Marv Sunderland of former Giants star Tiki Barber.

"He can run inside, he can get outside, he runs through guys and he can break the long runs," Sunderland said. "He has great hands out of the backfield, and he's a good blocker. He is a well-rounded back."

Fantasy Impact: 

Under then OC Ken Whisenhunt, the Chargers threw the ball 52.8% of the time in 2013, which is low compared to the league average (56.6%), so the Titans figure to feature the running game, especially with the unproven Jake Locker under center. Sankey should win the starting job quickly, but even if the situation is somewhat murky, he should be a good pick on draft day. We're expecting RB2-type numbers out of the rookie; he should be the first rookie taken in fantasy drafts this summer.

With Cardinals running back Ryan Williams likely out fo...

With Cardinals running back Ryan Williams likely out for the season, Arizona's decision to trade Tim Hightower to the Redskins again will be questioned. At least the timing of it.

Williams likely suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee Friday. Tests will confirm, but it appears he's headed for surgery and a long rehabilitation period.

There already has been a lot of second-guessing, via twitter, about trading Hightower. And the timing of the deal was interesting.

With Hightower gone, the Cardinals have only four running backs in camp. Now it's three. And that counts LaRod Stephens-Howling, who at 5-7 and 185 pounds is not going to replace Beanie Wells should something happen to him.

Coaches are pleased with the development of Alfonso Smith, who was on the practice squad last year, but the team likely will add a back in the coming days. The options aren't attractive. With rosters at 90, most backs are already in camp. You can find flaws in all the ones available, from Tiki Barber to LenDale White to Laurence Maroney.
