2012 Outlook
Depth Chart
Blount was a revelation for the Bucs as an undrafted rookie free agent picked up on the waiver wire after being released in the preseason by the Titans. He assumed the starting role at midseason for an ineffective Cadillac Williams and finished the season with 1,007 rushing yards and six touchdowns while averaging an impressive 5.0 yards per carry. However, his limitations as a receiver and pass blocker were evident and with the Bucs often playing from behind, Blount struggled mightily, finishing the year with 781 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He was especially ineffective down the stretch, accumulating just 137 yards and one touchdown on 46 carries over the Bucs final five games. His struggles caused the Bucs to draft Boise State product Doug Martin late in the first round of this year’s draft and he has entered training camp ahead of Blount in the pecking order at running back. While there are no guarantees that Martin will excel in his rookie season, he will get the first crack at earning a significant amount of playing time with Blount likely to get the goal line work and subbing in as a change of pace option. Consider Blount a low end RB4 entering the season and a potential flex option in larger leagues.

Patriots Depth Chart
News From The Past 90 Days
Blount buried on depth chart     -- Tue Apr 30 11:30 am --

Patriots RB may have difficult time making the roster
With the NFL draft now over, let's reset the Patriots roster with a projected depth chart at each position. Depth charts are always fluid, and we expect these to change in the coming weeks and months as we learn more about the additions to the roster and their roles. Quick hit: An area of depth got deeper with the addition of LeGarrette Blount. He’s a niche player -- not an every-down back -- and the Patriots have a nice stable of talent in the backfield. (ESPN Boston)

FF Today's Take: Should Blount make the team, he's likely to have a role as a short-yardage and/or goaline back. Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen will likely receiver the bulk of the carries out of the Patriots backfield with a little Brandon Bolden and Leon Washington mixed in. Blount's fantasy value is minimal at this point.
Bucs trade Blount to Patriots     -- Sat Apr 27 4:00 pm --

In exchage for RB Jeff Demps and seventh round pick (229)
The Patriots traded running back Jeff Demps and a seventh round pick (229) to Tampa Bay for running back LeGarrette Blount. (Boston.com)

FF Today's Take: Blount was a fish out of water in Tampa Bay last year but will add depth to the Patriots running back group. Stevan Ridley is sitll in line to get the bulk of the carries and fantasy points but this move doesn't strengthen his fantasy value.
