The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Is the hype deserved? According to NFL.com, that would probably depend on your expectations for Dunbar, a 5-8, 188-pound change-of-pace back who showed flashes of legit playmaking ability behind DeMarco Murray a season ago. But the Brown seems like an enthusiastic supporter. "We can line him up anywhere on the team-tailback spot, at the wide receiver spot, in the slot," the coach said. "He has tremendous hands and he's just not a specialty guy. He could play tailback if you need him to go out there and give you 15 or 20 carries. He's that type of kid. ... He brings a whole different dimension, a whole different vibe in our room as far as what he does and we're looking forward to using him as a weapon as well." Fantasy football owners drafting DeMarco Murray early might be hoping the hope doesn't drive Dunbar's price too high; he seems like a solid handcuff if you can secure his services at the right time.
