Hunt or Powell for RB3 (1 Viewer)

Im in a draft this evening and Im pretty sure I am going to have this pic.  Its a PPR format with the normal point scoring.  I do like Powell alot even though he is on the Jets but Hunt is now the go to feature back.  Please give me some input on which back you might prefer with some reasoning.  Thank you in advance.

 
I would much rather have Hunt than Powell.   Hunt is on a good team that wants to run the ball and will be in most games so the game script will be positive for him.  He also can catch the ball out of the backfield and should be a tremendous RB3 (per your thread title).

Powell is much riskier due to his terrible team and although Forte is done he will still take away from Powell as well.  The situation is much better for Hunt and he will be relied upon.  This is a fairly easy choice. 

 
I would take Hunt for the TD upside, but it's going to be closer than you think.  Powell could easily catch 75 passes this year.  The Jets are going to be in garbage time mode probably every 2nd half this year.

That said, Hunt should catch a decent amount of passes from Captain Checkdown and has a good shot at 10-11 TDs.  The decision is actually pretty easy.
