Of equal concern should be that Detroit has only two healthy Defensive Linemen. I wonder if any of its Offensive Lineman will have to move to the other side of the ball. Or maybe one or two of its Linebackers will have to move to DL.
When San Diego ran short of TEs due to injuries, out of desperation it moved one of its LBs to TE and he has caught 4 passes out of 4 passes thrown to him - one for a TD. Go figure. Lesson learned - don't be afraid to experiment (as long as a player has the physical tools, e.g., at least the appropriate size, strength and speed, to play a different position).
I would of cut him a long time ago. My 8th rd pick RB Moore had 8 fumbles after six games so I traded him and he has racked up four since then. the trade probably looked unbalanced at the time but I was willing to pay for a NFC team to take him off my hands.

I go back and for with fumbling RBs. I'll play them if they are putting up ridiculous numbers though.

It's frustrating sometimes....but I do believe he's helping me more than harming as of right now. We shall see how it turns out in the long run.

**** I dident look at this week, he had tree fumbles , that makes 7 in the six games I had him and 7 in the six games you have had him. (14 Total) He did have a monster 200 yard game but it was against the worst rush defense in the league. Don't get me wrong that trade dident feature him he was a throw in from my view. He's got a lot of potential and is a stud ..., who fumbles a lot some can deal and some can't.

I looked at it as a bonus too....I didn't necessarily need him, but he has helped my running game a lot and I can't take that away from him. Just need to carve out a role that suits him best.

KR/PR/WR3/RB4 ... That's how I would play him. He's versatile, but I'm with blackflys on this one, 7 fumbles in 3 games is hard to swallow when he's only getting 5 yards a pop.
Why is he not your main PR/KR? He's got 94 kick catch, 100 speed, and 74 AC. That's good enough for most teams before you look at his carry and break tackle.
I have him as my 2nd string KR and PR behind Wade who is my starting WR. I really SHOULD have him starting at each of those roles to avoid any unnecessary injury.
