JacQuizz = Fantasy Sleeper!

[Haakzilla]

...I can't wait to see what he can do, given the opportunity to touch the ball consistently. He also got a ringing endorsement from his Head Coach:

I’m almost certain they have big plans for second-year pro Jacquizz Rodgers, and I think those plans might be a lot bigger than people realize. That’s largely because Rodgers is bigger than the Falcons realized when they drafted him last year.

“Jacquizz is not little,’’ Smith said. “He’s short, but he’s thick. People projected him to be a third-down back, a change-of-pace back. I think the guy has the skill set to play on all three downs. One of the things that stood out to me more than anything is his ability to pass protect. A lot of times, your change-of-pace back, you’ve got to get him the ball and not ask him to be a part of the protection. I don’t think that’s the case with Jacquizz. I think Jacquizz is an all-around back that can play on all three downs.’’

Translation: The Falcons aren’t looking for Rodgers to be what Jerious Norwood once was. They want him to be more like what Warrick Dunn once was.

It's fine right where it is! Quizz is a LOAD! I knew he would be a gem for whomever took him in the NFL.

I'm anxious to see how Harbaugh will utilize LaMichael

Lamichael is in a big cluster fuck of a backfield. Kendall Hunter showed last year he is pretty good, Brandon Jacobs will complain if he doesn't get touches and of course they still have Frank Gore.

It sounds to me like the Falcons want to transition Quizz into a bigger role, while cutting Turner's role back.
