For Rookie Fantasy Football Players: Why Plodders Are Fantasy Trash

     Just like the entire WR category, fantasy plodders (I.E. Peyton Hillis, Mike Tolbert) are completely TD oriented.  What is the big difference between them and the rest of the fantasy world?  Well, for starters, lets look at Mr. Tolbert.  In seven games, he has recorded 39 fantasy points.  Not bad considering DeAngelo Williams has 49.  The stat the really sticks out though is Tolberts average of 30 yards a game.  He is averaging just over 3 yards a carry on 7 carries a game.  Say the Panthers revert to their no TD scoring self for a course of 3-4 weeks.  That leaves you with a player on your team averaging 2-3 points a week.  Kickers have more value than Tolbert.  Hillis and his older counterpart Brandon Jacobs fall into this similar category though they would record more carries for around the same average.  Hillis is not worth a flier this week due to fumble issues and the INT leader being his QB.
