Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Could have a tough row to hoe joining a team already boasting Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, Brandon Jacobs and Anthony Dixon in the backfield. Still, HC Jim Harbaugh coached against James before coming to the Niners, so he's aware of the diminutive (5-8, 194 pounds) back's talents. ... According to his NFL.com scouting report, James has been the most electric and productive player on a very impressive offense. He was an ideal fit for the unique zone blocking scheme run by Chip Kelly and has shown many traits that are transferable to the NFL. Of some concern, James had fumbling issues throughout his career that weren't helped by a dislocated elbow midway through his junior season. He looks conscious of keeping the ball high and tight to his frame, and he has very good all-around strength, but he doesn't have the arm strength to secure the ball when big hits are put on him. ... Could be asked to return punts.
