We are on the same page, I also felt Oak will be playing from behind and in high scoring games involving the pass game mostly. I also know that when Philly really needs yards and plays they go to Westy alot. I like to draft players from better teams as well when at all comparable who knows if things go bad in Oak early and the team may quit come weeks 12-17 and that's never good. I was kinda second guessing myself for taking Westy over Jordan in a 16 team league with my 2.-5 pick but now I think I will be just fine with it.Thanks Chris,I answered your PM about this but I will respond here as well.Can Jordan have a top fifteen fantasy season this season? Yes he certainly can but there are a couple of reasons why I like Westbrook more than Jordan this year...You took Westbrook over Jordan I see, did you do this on your own or did you do with Joe and Davids rankings in mind? How do you and the rest of the posters in this thread fell about this?
# 1) The Raiders defense is horrendous! Seriously, I could see many barnburners being played in Oakland this season in which the defense gets the team off to a 0-21 start in a game forcing the Raiders to try and come back with the passing game. A poor defense can slow down a running back throughout a season
# 2)Westbrook, being capable of adding fantasy points via catching and running with the football makes him a good candidate to put up consistent fantasy points (and I have his likely backup in Moats if he suffers an injury)
# 3) Jordan has never had 100+ carries in a season. Is he durable enough to withstand the punishment of a 300 carry season? Perhaps but it is an unknown at this point
#4) Westbrook is very explosive and is capable of scoring any place and any time during a game.
Add it all together and I like my chances with Westbrook as my # 2. Good question
