Forget Them Not: Ten Dynasty Running Backs for Keepers and Sleepers

Dude… Tyler Thigpen
Yeah, I said it. Tyler Thigpen. It was popular to hate on him when he first got the start in Kansas City.

There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you.
