Graham, Ward ready for tandem: The St. Petersburg Times reports Tampa Bay running backs coach Steve Logan said RBs Earnest Graham and Derrick Ward will split carries this year. "I think Earnest, everybody, the fans and coaches know what Earnest is and what he can do," Logan said. "I think Derrick is going to give us a good change of pace from Earnest. Earnest has a lot of power and is very quick in short spaces. I think Derrick has a little more speed, for lack of a better word, and might give us a little bit more plays outside the tackles. I see a nice complement between those two."

Fantasy Analysis

We expect Graham and Ward to share carries with Graham being the short-yardage goal-line back and Ward getting more catches. Both have value this year as No. 3 Fantasy options. Graham will have value scoring touchdowns, and Ward proved last year with the Giants he can rush for 1,000 yards in a tandem with Brandon Jacobs. We like both rushers a lot this season.
