Running Back Rank: #11
Overall: #13
Westbrook wasn't himself much of last season, missing a few games because of knee injury and being slowed much of the rest of the year because of the injury. He had just three 100-yard rushing games and failed to rush for 1,000 yards. He did catch 54 passes, though, giving him at least 50 receptions in six straight seasons. You have to worry about all the wear and tear on Westbrook, though. He usually battles injuries at some point during the season and at age 30 (when the season starts), you have to wonder how quickly Westbrook can bounce back from his aches and pains. He also recently had surgery ankle to clean up some debris, which could cause him to miss training camp and even the start of the season. When on his game, Westbrook is the top dual threat in the game. He is the best receiving back out there today and can also make plays on the ground, averaging 1,162-rushing yards the last three years. And Westbrook should continue to be the centerpiece of the Eagles offense as long as he is healthy.

A great choice in PPR leagues, but you have to worry about Westbrook hitting the wall sometime soon, especially after this latest surgery. He has a lot of touches and yards under his belt in his seven years in the league. Consider him a low-end first-round pick because of this. The potential is there for big things, but he'll probably miss a few games because of injury and his numbers are bound to dip sometime soon. |
