Deuce or Perry? (1 Viewer)

[Manasseh]

I think conventional wisdom would say Perry, since he seems to be a true, starting RB. The Bengals have just signed Benson, I suppose, but I doubt he cuts into too many of Perry's carries.

But Deuce is in a much more high-powered offense. He got the touches, last week at least. And will probably get the goalline carries.

So what do you guys think? Who has the most value moving forward?

I'd rather have Perry. He's had 2 pretty solid games this year and is the undisputed starter. Also, I actually worry about Deuce's health more than Perry's. Not to mention P.Thomas and Bush are better and will take more touches than Benson/Watson.

All that being said, I like Deuce and think he can be a good RB4 this year, I just think Perry can be a RB3.

Obviously a lot of this depends on Palmer's elbow too. Without him Cincy is going to have real trouble moving the ball at all.

Deuce.

NO was missing the true RB to run inside the tackles and goal line.

And they can move the ball unlike cincy

 

[Tchula]

not worried about perry's health? In his NFL tenure, he has spent more time on Ir than on the field, and he has been around several seasons.

Seriously though, how is this not an ACF question? The guy just joined so I'm not trying to be ##### or anything but these two backs have nothing in common whatsoever and I don't see how this warrants a general discussion. He's got a shot at one of them in his league and he wants us to pick one for him.

yes you are, you mentioned it twice

It would depend on the league type but I am thinking if Perry is still on the WW this can't be a very serious league. Duece I can understand him being on the WW still sense he just had his first carries of the season and came up with a nice effort. I think Duece will have the better year from here on out of coarse injury is a very big concern with all his knee surgeries. Like was mentioned in an earlier post Perry is also an injury risk. With all that said DM is in a better offense and their injury risk is about the same Duece imo is a bit higher. I lean toward DM in a redraft small keeper leagues

If Deuce stays healthy he is a RB2

So just ignore the thread then. Nobody asked you to open it and then open it again after you made your first reply.

Honestly, why do so many here think it's their responsibility to police these forums? Is that not what staff-appointed moderators are assigned to do? This forum is overridden with the whiner/tattletail/hall-monitor element. Some of you need a swirly.

Maybe Deuce 2 years ago is a RB2, but I don't see him being anywhere near as explosive as he was then. He may very well have had his best game this past week.

lol. Perry's on the WW now in what is a very serious league--with limited rosters. I just dropped him for....Deuce.

Payton has been playing this real carefully with Deuce, and now that he's rolled him out successfully I see him getting pretty much the same use through the rest of the year--about 15-20 carries and goal line. Deuce is able to move the pile in a way that Thomas can't at this point, and that's exactly what NO needs. Pierre Thomas is an excellent backup for both. With the point structure in my league Deuce's production this week projects to RB #17,and I hope to be able to play him on a week-to-week basis as RB 2 or 3 according to matchups.That sure didn't work out for me with Perry in a favorable matchup last weekend....seems much more hit or miss.

He looked like the Deuce of old to me last week

Depends on format, I at anyone who makes blanket statements like "it can't be a serious league". There's a lot of different formats. In one of my more serious redrafts, it's 10 teams with only requiring 1 RB, with it being PPR, I'd only start a RB in flex if he's a stud. WRs happen to be king there. Perry's on the waivers, so is Deuce. OTOH, I have another league I love where we start 2-4 RBs. Perry starts there. Many of the same owners are in both leagues, somewhat remarkably, the top 3 teams in the 10 team league are the bottom teams in the bigger league. Might be luck, might be that they're better at finding studs than good sleepers. At first I had the same reaction with the Cleveland game, but when your QB is Fitzpatrick, and the OL isn't good, I'm going to give Perry a pass on that game. The Giants game showed that he can be ok.

Thanks for not being a ####, whatever that is. I can tell you're a stand-up guy.As far as these two back not having nothing in common, well, I would say they're both RB3/Flex options. Maybe you have another guy you would like to compare? If you must know, I own both of them. I'm not asking you to pick one for me. I just thought this was a place to discuss fantasy football strategy, which includes player value, right?

Anyway, back to the discussion. Perry, IMO, is one of the hardest RB's to peg. His two best games came against two of the best DEF in the league (TEN and NYG); yet against Cleveland, he was horrible. With games still on the schedule against Dallas, Washington, Philadelphia, Pitt, Jacksonville, and Baltimore, there's not a lot of matchups you'd really want to use him.

Deuce on the other hand still has Minnesota, Carolina twice, and Chicago. But his schedule to me isn't as much of a concern as he'll never be the focal point of the Saints offense.

I like Duece for a variety of reasons.... Runs hard, with power, has decent hands tooGood vision, is a between the tackles RB who can move the pile.Perry is still an enigma to me. Against a good Def, he does well. Against the soft Def, he fails to appear. The NO Saints Offense is more likely to have more GL chances for Deuce than Perry, so based on the TD potential, I like Deuce over Perry

anybody else worried about perry's new hamstring strain? i figure they need him this week with watson and dorsey both hurt.... but benson could be doing more than just "spelling" perry. slippery slope if perry is hurting already...
