</td>

Derrick Ward
</td>
<td>
Ran for more than 1,000 yards despite being a backup. Ward has a good combination of size and elusiveness. Should be a solid starter for some team.
</td>

</td>
<td>
Fred Taylor
</td>
<td>
Veteran runner struggled in 2008 after having strong seasons the prior two years. Should be a good fit for a team that uses a rotation.
</td>

</td>
<td>
Cedric Benson
</td>
<td>
Former top five pick had some good games for the Bengals down the stretch. Forget about him ever being an elite player, but Benson can be an effective starter.

</td>
<td>
Warrick Dunn
</td>
<td>
Dunn is now 34 and no longer a workhorse. He was a very effective backup for Tampa this year, racking up more than 1,000 total yards.
</td>

</td>
<td>
Correll Buckhalter
</td>
<td>
Longtime backup would love a chance to start or at least play in a run-heavy offense.
