DeAngelo vs. LenDale (1 Viewer)

[shive1]

Both of these guys have injury-prone starters ahead of them, so both could get an opportunity - and early. Which of these guys would you draft, and why?

Redraft or Dynasty or BOTH?

Really, it doesn't matter much I like White in all formats even though I drafted Williams before him. He may not have as long a career as Williams because he looks to be more of a pounder, but I think he has better overall talent and is in the best position of all Rookie RBs to start as early as week 1.

Both of my leagues are redraft, so I'm looking to see if any of the sharks here see much short-term value for either one.

If I had to pick redraft I'd go with DWill simply because CAR is the better team and should be running more.

Both will start early if not week 1, and both will see the lion's share of carries.

I put my money in the DW basket . . . more versitile and will probably be on the field all three downs . . . don't see that happening for White. But in a TD heavy league, I could see White being more attractive at this point. None of my leagues are TD heavy, however

Neither guy projects to be a starter barring injury. White has a greater shot of taking a majority of his team's carries, but DW has little chance of becoming a starter, especially early on.

On May 8th, I chose White over Williams. I would do it again today.

I drafted Williams over White, but only because I knew White would fall to me 2 picks later. So I got both.

Ten. has one of the toughest scheds this year, meaning they'll be out of it early. I could see them starting as badly as 1-6 (check the sched). I see White getting the majority of the carries after week 9-10, which means if you can set yourself up for a playoff run. The Panthers should be in it the whole way meaning you have to hope for a Foster injury (likely, but not a lock) or DW winning the job outright. White is the pick in redraft.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree. DW was drafted to anchor the Panthers' offense.Look at Foster's contract. He's gone after this season.

"Look at Foster's contract. He's gone after this season."

I didn't realize what his contract situation was until you mentioned it. That's a big shift in pay to 2007. At what dollar amount do players tend to become cap casualties? Also, as of March 10, Carolina was about 10 mil under the cap. And, just from skimming through salaries, NFL teams seem to average about 2 players per team making 4 mil or more.
