KFFL.com has released a list of “Players on the Downswing” and new Texans RB Ahman Green has made the list.  Below are the comments on Ahman from the site:

Ahman Green, Houston Texans - When the Green Bay Packers opted not to meet Green’s contract terms, he bolted for the Texans, reuniting with former head coach Mike Sherman (Houston’s offensive coordinator). Green had a solid comeback season last year, totaling 1,059 rushing yards on 266 carries behind a young offensive line. He also compiled 46 receptions for 373 yards and six total touchdowns. Most importantly, he showed he could stay healthy for the majority of a campaign, starting 14 games. This was one year removed from a five-game season. However, entering his 10th season, Green is not getting any younger. Even with a solid campaign last year, he averaged just 4.0 yards per carry, and the yardage totals were his lowest of any season since 1999 (excluding 2005). If you are considering Green in your draft, it could be best to look elsewhere this year. If you do draft him, view Green as an average-to-weak No. 3 fantasy back. He has added value in point-per-reception leagues.
