Summary

Running Back Rank: #75All Players: #298

Blount shined at times last season but was more of a disappointment most weeks. Blount did have three 100-yard games but also had seven games with fewer than 50-rushing yards. He didn't follow up his 1,000-yard rookie season as expected, making many wonder if he can start in this league. His inconsistency last season likely cost him the starting job. The Bucs drafted Doug Martin in the first round of this year's draft. He likely bumps Blount from the starting spot in Tampa. This could be a make or break year for Blount even with Martin around. He'll still get his carries. Blounty is plenty young enough to get it going. Remember, Blount had a 1,000-yard rookie season despite starting for about half a season. Blount is a big back but has surprising speed and moves for a big man. His game is power, though. Blount will run over, through and around would-be tacklers. He isn't much of a factor in the passing game, having just 20 receptions in two seasons.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Blount was on his way to stardom but hit a speed bump last season. Don't give up on him yet but he isn't a surefire fantasy back for this coming season, especially with Martin around. Take him as a No. 3 or 4 fantasy back. He still could get the goal-line work and the Bucs' offense should be better, which are two positives for Blount. But he won't play on passing downs and probably won't be the No. 1 back from day one. He could get 600 or 700 total yards and eight touchdowns in this offense.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said he believes the team got good value when they acquired RB LeGarrette Blount. 'With LeGarrette, he's been a productive player. He didn't play as much last year with the emergence of [Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin] down there, so I can certainly understand that Tampa was in. We felt like he was a talented guy that we wanted to have on our team,' Belichick said.
Fantasy Impact: We aren't sure how he fits in just yet but could have some sort of role with the team - maybe even short-yardage work.
