Running Back Rank: #60 Overall: #284
Grant had a ho-hum season for the Packers, playing behind James Starks much of the year. His season high in rushing yards was 92 and he had less than 50-rushing yards all but three games. Grant carried the ball 134 times, which was the lowest total of his career when playing the whole season. At age 29, his best days are likely behind him. He has topped the 1,000-yard mark a couple times during his career, so he has value as a backup. He can fill in as a starter when needed. Grant isn't an explosive back, but runs with power and has enough speed to bounce some plays to the outside. Grant isn't a huge threat as a receiver, but does have at least 18 receptions in his four full seasons.

Grant isn't much of a fantasy player and probably isn't even worth a draft pick. He might be worth a look in deeper leagues but that is about it. His numbers might not be better than last season, getting around 600 total yards and a few scores. |
