Why You Should Target LeGarrette Blount In Your Fantasy Football Drafts

The narrative surrounding LeGarrette Blount has rarely been positive. He was once suspended for most of his college senior season in 2009 after punching a Boise State player in the face following a season-opening loss, has bounced around the NFL after being labeled an off-the-field headache, and is even suspended for Week 1 this season after getting arrested for marijuana possession back in August.

Although it's extremely difficult to argue in favor of Blount's off-the-field character, it's equally as difficult to argue against his on-field talent. The powerful 245-pound back has averaged 4.6 yards per carry in his career and has scored 25 touchdowns on just 704 career attempts.
