Deuce. That’s another way of saying “number two”. Which is another way of saying “taking a shit”. These aren’t good things to have associated with your first name. So can Deuce keep from slipping to the number two option in the Saints backfield, or will he crap it up?

The Bust Explained
Two words. Reggie Bush. The kid is dynamite in cleats. How many more carries do you think he’ll get this year? Well, every one he gets is one that old Number Two doesn’t. Bush will really start to eat into McAllister’s carries this year. Fortunately for McAllister, he should remain the goal-line back, which ensure him some decent fantasy value in a scoring only league. However, McAllister’s yardage totals greatly benefited from an easy schedule. Plus, he’s a fucking used car salesman! We aren’t shitting you this time, watch that video!

The Risk Factor:
It’s possible that things will stay the same as last year. The ratio of carries between Bush and Deuce will remain unchanged. Unlikely, but it could happen. Also, if Reggie Bush happened to get hurt, McAllister would be a very, very solid fantasy back.

The Strategy:
Don’t overlook Deuce altogether. He should still produce average numbers, especially in TD heavy formats, but expect his production to drop from last year.
