Running Back Rank: #90
Overall: #425
A move back to Indy was just the thing to get Rhodes going, again. He had over 800 total yards and nine touchdowns. He knows the Colts offense and was a more than capable backup or spot starter in the system. Rhodes is a small back, but he runs with power and has the speed to break a play to the outside. And he is a decent receiver, which will get him some added playing time. He hasn't rushed for 1,000 yards since his rookie season, though, and is now 30 years old.

Nothing flashy, but Rhodes might get 500 total yards and a couple scores, making him a decent depth guy at running back for fantasy teams. |

In regards to running back depth, he noted he wishes the team was five-deep at running back and even said he wishes they could take seven players into a game. By releasing RB Dominic Rhodes, the Bills are down to tailbacks Fred Jackson and Xavier Omon for the first three games while Marshawn Lynch serves his suspension. 'We wish Dominic the best. He's a good player,' Jauron said of his former back. |
