LeGarrette Blount A Desperation Play In Week 8
6 years agoDetroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount has served a purpose through six games, and that is to vulture touchdowns away from Kerryon Johnson. Blount averages 9 carries and 28 yards per game. However, he's scored three times in the last two games, all from within two yards out. This week, he will likely have a similar workload against a stout Seahawks defense. Don't be surprised if Blount is held to under 50 yards, but also don't be surprised if he saves his fantasy day by falling into the end zone from one-yard out. For that reason, if your team is decimated from bye weeks, he could be a flex-punt play in standard leagues only.
