Running Back Rank: #57
Overall: #232
James had an eventful season. He was replaced by rookie Tim Hightower in the starting lineup, but was a big factor for the Cardinals during their playoff run to the Super Bowl. He had 236-rushing yards in four playoff games and just 514-rushing yards during the entire regular season. But at 31 (when the season starts), James has clearly lost a step. He doesn't break big runs anymore and usually plods ahead for a few yards at a time. James is best served in a platoon role at this stage of his career, a role he'll try to serve with the Seahawks this season.

James is worth a look as a No. 4 or 5 back, but that is about it. His best days are clearly behind him. He might not be able to exceed his numbers from last season, which weren't very good. |
