That's not a bad strategy. I like to go with guys coming off of injuries but who had strong performances before the injuries. You can usually snag them in the later rounds and they'll often pay off. I'm hoping Kellen Winslow does that for me this year. Also hoping that McMichael and one of Smith or Pennington put up some decent numbers so that I can package them for a solid RB.
