I say use him up. Don’t throw caution to the wind, of course, but RBs have a short shelf life. Trade him to another team in 3 years with dents, scratches and a Check Engine light on.

We're going to have to after letting Robinson go. I know it's a passing league and all that but I do think a good RB can make a good team a great team. D's are built to stop the pass now and are all about speed but a good RB makes it a lot easier for the pass game. Just take today, Jets ran for like 170 yards on Buffalo and won. Watching the Bucs-Rams game (woof its a stinker) and both RB's getting like 2 yards leaving them in constant 3rd and long.

I'm not saying the RB's are making a comeback but I think they are showing their value. 

That's the worry tho like you say, what's their shelf life and if you make a name of yourself, there will be a team ready to take a chance, even with the dents and scuffs.
