Lendale White vs. Joseph Addai (1 Viewer)

Is White more of a TD scorer and Addai more of a yardage guy?

That's how it seems to me, but who will end up with more points at the end of 2006?

Good question. This has been covered in a few other threads, but to provide a quick synopsis...The trouble with rookie stat projections is that you never really know how much playing time they're going to get. Personally, I believe Addai will be the starting RB in Indy by week 4 and he'll put up some great numbers for the remainder of the season. Rhodes will vulture a few here and there, as will Mungro. Overall, I think it's going to be Addai though.LenDale, however, is playing behind two solid RBs, one of whom is playing for a new contract (from someone, probably not the Titans). However, he's a great RB, especially at the goal line, a place where C Brown had a bit of trouble last year. I have strong concerns over LenDale's behavior and dedication to being a "great" football player. As I've said previously, he reminds me of a Lawrence Phillips an awful lot at this point. This was said before he spit into the face of one of his teammates, mind you. Very LP like.So it's a toss-up. I'd go with Addai unless you already have a solid group of RBs and can take the risk of LenDale....My 2 cents.

I'm not breaking new ground here either, but it seems to me that White is positioning himself to be the next Phillips/Dayne/Clarett with his lack of dedication and poor behavior. I'm not all that sold on Addai, but I bet he ends up with better numbers at the end of this year.

This year probably Addai. Just less competition in Indy. If Brown gets dealt then I'd lean more towards White.
