The Facts:
Although Ron Dayne expected to be used in goal-line and short-yardage situations, Green should receive the bulk of the carries in 2007 -- and he should be busy. "We have to run the ball to be successful. We're going to start there," Kubiak said. "That's why we went out and we got a player that has explosive, playmaking ability in Ahman Green."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Chronicle staffer Megan Manful suggests, the Texans have turned one of their biggest weaknesses from 2006 into a strength. They will take five running backs into training camp, guaranteeing fierce competition, especially among Samkon Gado, Wali Lundy and Chris Taylor, a second-year player. The three youngsters will receive a number of repetitions because Kubiak expects to rest Green, 30, for one practice each day during two-a-days. He might do the same with Dayne.
