BALLER MOVE: Target ~115 (Current ADP: 120, RB: 40)
ANALYSIS: While all the talk has been about Johnny Manziel in Cleveland there's a battle going on in the RB corps that you should pay attention to. Currently Ben Tate is listed and paid as the #1 RB option however if you know anything about Ben Tate it's that he gets hurt frequently and he has trouble with fumbles. Last year alone he had 5 fumbles on 181 carries as the backup and was on injury watch for his shoulder, ribs, elbow, ankle, and toe. Ultimately he ended the season on IR (ribs) for the Houston Texans.
If you are looking for a solid handcuff or potential RB sleeper, given Tate's history, look no further than backup Terrance West. If you aren't familiar with West he's a 3rd rd draft pick from Towson who set many FCS rushing records and scouting reports compared him to Knowshon Moreno who was a beast last season. Cleveland will be running a run-first offense under offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan this which makes him even more valuable. Terrance West is a solid RB sleeper choice and at minimum a handcuff for Tate owners.
