Kedrick Rhodes

Coming off a season in which he totaled 1,149 rushing yards (4.9 YPC) and eight touchdowns and 27 receptions for 252 yards, it's difficult to tell how Rhodes' stock has changed, if it at all. On one hand, the graduation of quarterback Wesley Carroll and receiver T.Y. Hilton might significantly hurt the Florida International passing game, allowing defenses to stack against Rhodes and the running game. On the other hand, Darriet Perry graduated after stealing 131 carries, meaning Rhodes has a realistic shot at adding 50 or more carries to his 2011 total of 234. The second development is probably more important than the former – Rhodes is a good runner with a Sun Belt schedule who should get the ball often, resulting in strong fantasy value.
