2012 Outlook: Sleeper (undervalued)

Last updated on Aug-11-2012 by Daniel Kalles

In his rookie season, Stevan Ridley was used as a change of pace. With BenJarvus Green-Ellis gone, look for Ridley's carries and stats to rise this season. If he ends up taking over the starting job - as of early August, that looks like the deal - you can expect very similar numbers that the Law Firm has put up the last few years. Follow Ridley throughout the summer and training camp and see how he compares with Shane Vereen and the other backs on the roster.

Update 8-11-2012 - Ridley seemed to be winning the battle for lead back vs. co-2nd year man Shane Vereen and got the start in the first pre-season game. While he looked good rushing 8 times for 40 yards, he seemed to have problem with blitz pick-ups, even getting a talking to by Tom Brady. If his lack of blitz pick-ups keeps up, he will lose playing time.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	7.07	KFFL
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	8.10	CBSSports.com - Not the best running team by far, but Green-Ellis had at least 11 touchdowns each of the past two years. I like his upside.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	9.03	FansFantasyFootball.com - Pick Skipped By Commissioner Replacement pick made by Commissioner
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	7.02	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - Just not in love with the remaining receivers. We'll see if only having two at this point bites me. The backs will be gone by the time I pick again. Since this is my fourth, I'll shoot for the moon with the Patriots young buck.
