Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 29-year-old Tomlinson is the franchise’s all-time leading rusher, gaining 11,760 yards with 126 rushing touchdowns over his nine-year career. He also has 510 receptions for 3,801 yards and 15 scores. By his standards, Tomlinson had an off-year last season. The former MVP rushed 1,110 yards and 11 touchdowns as an injured toe and groin slowed his pace. With Darren Sproles likely to continue his role as a significant contributor, LT could actually benefit from a slightly reduced workload.
