Jeff,
I'm curious about your ranking of Addai. We've had quit a discussion here
http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...howtopic=314897 about where to rank him. You have him ranked as RB18. It's worth noting that with Rhodes to share carries he finished his rookie campaign ranked RB11. Now that Rhodes is gone you'd think Addai would improve on that ranking as the feature back.
Where do you see him going forward?
Thanks
I wasn't part of that thread, but I am reading basically the same sentiment from those who support Addai as those who think that MJD will eventually be the primary back in Jacksonville.Both backs have reasons to like them, but I'm not buying a feature back story for either.
I wasn't sold on Addai's talent, and his value comes, IMHO, mostly from being a Colt. His situation warrants recognition in that he's the one and only RB in Indy as of this moment (and less than 72 hours before that changes) not counting DeDe Dorsey.
I didn't like Addai that much coming into 2006, and I still don't think he was a Top 5 rookie RB last year. I think MJD is better - but neither are true #1s. Both need a second hand / back in town.
I believe that there are 17 better RBs and 35 better players, long term, to own in non-PPR leagues for production over the next 4 seasons.
