After six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Warrick Dunn is going back to the team where it all started. Dunn signed a contract to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to give the team help at running back.
Dunn had a good run in Atlanta but at 33-years-old, he’s entering into perhaps his final season in the NFL. He probably doesn’t have much left in the tank. However, in Tampa Bay, Jon Gruden has shown that he trusts and will play veterans before he’d play a younger player. With that in mind, Dunn could get a decent amount of carries in 2008.
That said, Dunn won’t be anything more than a late round fantasy football pick in 2008. In fact, there’s a good chance that he isn’t drafted in most leagues. There isn’t much upside there and it’d be difficult for him to do more than get 500 yards and three touchdowns. Anything more than that would be a surprise.
Earnest Graham will likely start for Tampa Bay at running back with Dunn serving as the third down back. Cadillac Williams could add his name to the mix at some point if he can recover from his massive knee injury.
