The Facts:
Now that Cadillac Williams is officially
out of the picture in Tampa Bay, one of the biggest training camp battles of the summer is starting to heat up. The Bucs are looking for a new candidate to emerge as LeGarrette Blount's primary backup and handle the third-down back responsibilities. The early favorite for the job is Graham, an eighth-year pro, but Kregg Lumpkin and Allen Bradford are slowly emerging and making a strong push for the job.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Graham can still contribute at FB like he has in previous years, but he seems to be moving on from that position with the emergence of second-year pro Erik Lorig. Graham looks forward to getting his hands on the ball more and OC Greg Olson plans to do allow him to have that opportunity this season. That said, Olson thinks that Blount has an opportunity expand his role on offense and win the third-down job himself. "With LeGarrette, we would like to make him more of an every-down back as opposed to just a first-down back," Olson said. Fantasy owners would love that -- but it seems like he'll continue to be a work in progress.
