Rock-solid

CALL HIM Tiki Lite. Like Barber, Dunn is 31 years old, small (5'9", 180 pounds), shifty, a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield and as dependable as the sunrise. Though not as productive as Barber, Dunn keeps churning out Pro Bowl--caliber seasons at an age when most other backs fade. Last year he ran 280 times for 1,416 yards--both career highs--averaging 5.1 yards per rush as the main cog in the NFL's No. 1 rushing offense. He also had 11 runs of 20 yards or more. T.J. Duckett, a 2002 first-rounder, has been unable to dethrone Dunn, who has started 32 straight games. All of which means that you should handle Dunn as the Falcons do: Just plug him in your lineup and watch the points roll in.
