It's backup RB time -- who has the best value? (1 Viewer)

[davidwb]

an unlucky 13 choices for an unlucky RB season. who would you choose to replace your RB1 when he goes down (or has already gone down)?

Jacobs is a backup?

Jacobs may the backup...we'll see. anyway, i wanted 13 to make it unlucky, and he fits the category since ward has played so well.

YesWard is the man. Pay attention.

By that logic, Kenton Keith has played well, so I'll take Addai for my "backup" who has the best value.

I'm still a fan of Buckhalter. If we're just picking based on skill, I'm with him.

Picked Young since Keith wasn't an option

How about the logic that says Ward is a top 10 RB right now?

ETA: yardage, and in my PPR leagues anyway.

Touche!I was exaggerating to make a point.

Sure, we don't know what the notoriously tight lipped Coughlin will do, but as a Giants fan and a fantasy owner of neither, I just don't see Coughlin keeping the 27 year old, injury riddled Ward as his primary back, and given that the Giants liked Jacobs enough to not draft a RB after Tiki retired, I just don't see them giving up on him after one game.

Jacobs will get another chance to be the primary ball carrier for the Giants.

forgot about kenton keith...he should have been on the list of candidates.
