Brian Leonard rushed for 57 yards on 20 carries in Week 10 against the Dolphins. Leonard added two catches for 16 yards. After Mike James fractured his left ankle on the opening drive, Leonard was thrust into lead-back duties. He looked okay on his first few totes but predictably wore down and ceded work to Bobby Rainey, who showed more juice as a runner. James is "out indefinitely." If we were to guess, we'd bet Rainey handles early-down work while Leonard sticks to his passing-down duties in Week 11 against the Falcons. Leonard will be worth a look in deeper PPR leagues, but don't count on him carrying the rock 20 times in one game again.

Predictably wore down? It has been reported that Leonard wears down easily? You're saying you KNEW he would wear down? A well conditioned football player with fresh legs predictably wears down?
