But they do have the best blocking TE in the draft.
Sure he's about 50-80lbs shy of an OT, but he was a 2nd round pick and is averaging 0.5 catches for 6.25 yards per game. That's gotta account for something, no?

Jokes aside, I've always been a fan of carrying a dedicated FB on rosters. I think they're infinitely more useful than carrying a 4th RB.
A *GOOD* FB can really be a difference maker for a run game.
The top 4 rushing offenses in the NFL this year are also the top 4 teams to use a FB this year as well:
-Ravens 1st rushing offense, 4th in FB usage.
-49ers 2nd rushing offense, 1st in FB usage.
-Vikings 3rd rushing offense, 2nd in FB usage.
-Bills 4th rushing offense, 3rd in FB usage.
