Running Back Rank: #23 Overall: #57
Green-Ellis really faded down the stretch last season but his overall numbers didn't look too bad in the end. But his finish to the season is a concern, having less than 25-rushing yards the last five regular season games. He did have four touchdowns during that stretch, though. Green-Ellis rushed for more than 50 yards just six times and had one 100-yard game. He didn't follow up his 1,000-yard season as expected but had 48 fewer carries. He has double-digit touchdowns two straight seasons. Green-Ellis isn't a speed burner, but a solid inside runner and tough to bring down once he gets going. He does a good job of hitting the hole with a head of steam. He isn't much of a receiver, though, having 26 receptions in four seasons. Green-Ellis heads to Cincinnati this season, a team he should split work with Bernard Scott at running back. He also should get the goal-line work for the Bengals.

Green-Ellis certainly has touchdown potential but his other numbers will be mediocre for fantasy teams, especially with a move to a less high-powered offensive team. He isn't likely to top 1,000-rushing yards again but could near double-digit scores. Consider him a low-end No. 2 back, especially since if he doesn't score a touchdown, his numbers won't be much of a help for fantasy teams. |
