The Redskins best back is Chris THompson btw. And silly statement Yeldon has never done anything.

You could add in Arizona right now too while DJ is out
What in the world has Yeldon done to be ranked ahead of anyone at all, he's our 4th string RB for a reason.
Well, Yeldon caught 50 passes (9th of all RBs) last year and ran for 750 yards in 12 games his rookie year. Perkins and Darkwa have never come close to accomplishing either of those. Blount you'll maybe have me on, Smallwood hasn't done anything of relevance in the same time period. Perine is unproven and couldn't hold onto the ball or pass block in preseason. Chris Carson is a late round pick who wasn't even good in college, Lacy is an overweight has been, and Rawls can't even stay healthy for 3 games. Terrance West and Buck Allen I won't even bother explaining why. I'm not saying Yeldon is good so much as I'm saying there are a lot worse getting touches on other teams every Sunday.

Great take.
It is very valuable to have a guy who knows the system waiting in the wings when injuries inevitably hit the rb corps.
Who knows we may even play more than 16 games this year
