SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #12   
Overall: #17


Blount was undrafted last season, but sure made all those teams that passed on him look bad. The Titans signed him but released him before the start of the season in hopes of signing him to their practice squad. He didn't make it to the practice squad as the Bucs claimed him on waivers. He got his first action of the season Week 3 but started really making his mark Week 7. From Week 7 on, Blount had double-digit carries every game and four 100-yard games. Despite playing just 13 games, Blount still managed a 1,000-yard season his rookie year and averaged five yards per carry. He will be the top back in the Bucs' offense for years to come. 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 does have some off-the-field concerns, but seemed to control his temper better after moving to the Bucs.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Blount is an emerging fantasy star. Consider him a low-end No. 1 back. He plays in an up-and-coming offense and should be the focal point many weeks. Blount gets little work in the passing game, which hurts his value some, but he can finish with Michael Turner-type numbers. He can get 1,500 yards and double-digit touchdowns in a full season.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount carried six times for just 12 yards in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he added 14 yards on three receptions. Blount was nearly invisible over the final three games, posting just 43 rushing yards on 17 carries.
Fantasy Impact: With a new regime coming in for 2012, Blount isn't guaranteed a starting job going forward.

Tampa Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount was benched after he fumbled the ball in the first quarter Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Blount returned later in the game and finished the game with 11 yards on two carries.
Fantasy Impact: Another no-show game for Blount, who has really disappointed fantasy owners this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount was held to 21 yards on nine carries during the team's Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With the Buccaneers falling behind early on the score board, Blount quickly became a non-factor in the team's offense, as they began to rely heavily on their passing game.
Fantasy Impact: This will happen to Blount at times in this offense. He is never a sure thing.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are concerned with the inability of RB LeGarrette Blount to hang onto the ball. Blount fumbled twice in the team's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. 'It's been a concern with LeGarrette for a while,' head coach Raheem Morris said. 'We've talked about it with him, and constantly stressed it. It just so happens this year we haven't been fortunate enough to get some of those balls back as we were in the past.'
Fantasy Impact: He is running better, though, which is a plus for fantasy teams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount rushed for 74 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact: Blount rebounded nicely after a terrible showing Week 13. He has played better the second half of the season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount denied a claim he orchestrated an assault on a man after the team's Sept. 11 game. 'In my mind I didn't do anything wrong at all,' Blount said. 'I didn't orchestrate anything. I didn't make any suggestions for anything.'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount reportedly encouraged two fans to beat a man coming home from the team's Sept. 11 game, according to a police report. However, Blount was not charged with a crime. 'This ringleader stuff is baloney,' said Blount's attorney, Ryan Morgan. 'It's a blatant money grab.'
Fantasy Impact: We wouldn't be too concerned about this. It should go away.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount will make his second career start against the Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Last season, he posted 19 carries for 91 yards and a touchdown in Week 10. Blount is coming off back-to-back 100-yard performances, and the Panthers rank 28th in the NFL in rushing defense.
Fantasy Impact: Blount has a dream matchup this week and is a must start for fantasy teams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount rushed for 103 yards on 20 carries in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount rushed for 107 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact: Blount had a great game against a good rush defense. He is starting to run a little better as the Bucs' offense shows improvement.
