Leon Washington's Fantasy Football Ranking
Player Info:
Click Here: For Current Fantasy Football Info about Leon Washington
Leon Should be Used mostly Third and Long Back
Washington is a gifted running back and last year he had a fine season backing up Thomas Jones. Totaling 8 touchdowns overall, a 5.9 yards per carry and 47 receptions. But now the Jets have another talented runner in camp in rookie Shonn Greene and he will take touches away from Leon. This will happen mainly because Greene is a more durable and bigger back. Shonn's playing size is 5'11 and 235 pounds while Leon is 5'8 and 202 pounds. I do think the Jets will run the ball even more this year because they will have a rookie quarterback in the offense so this will help as the three runners take turns with the pig skin.
Leon Washington's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
Right now I believe Leon's value in fantasy football is best in the special teams/ defense category of fantasy. While he will still make some explosive plays for the offense, he probably wont see an increase in playing time that fantasy owner need to see. If you must grab Leon then look for him at the end of your draft. Again he does have added value if your in a league that rewards points for touchdowns a player receives in special teams. But if your not in that type of format stay away from Leon until one of the other runners goes down with an injury.
Fantasy Assets:
- Game Breaker
- Great Receiving Skills
- Good Supporting Cast
- Great Special Teams Player
Fantasy Liability's:
- Small in Size
- Has two other solid runners to compete with
