Also, how many running backs have missed an entire year and come back strong? Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad gamble to take when you have the room, I just don't think the odds are all that great of his (effective) return.

I think he'll be back in 2005 (albeit after serving a 4 game suspension). He's already hinted at wanting to play for the Raiders next year, which tells me this had more to do with the Dolphins than anything else. Also, the 8 million the Dolphins are going after already had him contemplating a return this year (which will NOT happen IMO).
I think at 150 he's got huge upside with the only downfall being burning a roster spot for a year or 2. I'll be giving him a 5 year deal, so if this pans out I could be setting myself for an even longer dynasty run ;)!
I'd also add, since I was burning a roster spot on that bum Lelie (sorry Jim), why not do so on a player with top 10 potential instead?
