Who cares about Culpepper. They will be getting Smith the ball plenty, the only other remotely talented back other then Smith is Maurice Morris (and that is a far second place). I don't think Smith will carry your team, but I have him as a second back (behind D'angelo) in my league and I think he'll be good for 12 points a game minimum with a big week every 3 weeks or so. He'll do well this season regardless of who's QB. and if it's Stafford (which I almost guarantee you it will be) they'll be running plenty of dump offs and screens to Smith until they take the leash off stafford and let him really throw it around which won't be till the end of the season if at all.

since culpepper is hurt do you think they will hand it off more? and if they do do you think that he will lose carries?
