LT, Cedric Benson, or Charles (1 Viewer)

Quick poll, who would you rather have as your RB2 for the rest of the way? LTs numbers are much better so far mostly due to TDs, but do you think Benson's will be better by years end? Or Charles, who is the #2 back on the team but putting up good numbers so far.

This should be a pollack.

PPR? Charles. I voted Charles, assuming it's PPR.

Non-PPR, I'd probably lean LT. He's looking spry and the Jets will run, run and run more as the winter games approach.

That said, Charles' importance to the Chief offense will continue to increase. Jones could be an afterthought in 2-3 weeks.

LT for me. He's looked fantastic so far this year. Shonn who?

Just traded for Charles....Look at his schedule the next five weeks. He faces the 18th,32nd,28th,23rd and the 28th rush defences in that span! I think he is primed to explode like he did at the end of last season. His playoff schedule is not as favorable. But you got to get there first

LT gets first place? I feel sad! I feel worse and worse about my LT+Bowe trade for Deangelo...actually i don't! Talk about selling high, LT is the poster boy. As a former LT owner, i could feel it in my bones. I picked him up with my 109th overall pick. He was 109th for a reason. This is not to say that a 109th pick should always be sold high, and can never be a great asset, it is just to say that LT should be sold high.

(the league i'm referring to is a keeper league where we keep 6 players at no cost, in redraft leagues i may hold on to LT)

Anyway, there is another thread talking about how horrible deangelo is, combine it with this thread where LT beats out Charles and Cedric Benson, 2 top 20 picks! We are talking about the most obvious buy low sell high combination. Of course it doesn't have to be Deangelo, there are tons of other buy low prospects. How about Larry Fitzgerald? It is too late to buy Calvin Johnson low, but if you remember a couple weeks ago he had a thread about how horrible he was. What about Beenie Wells in a dynasty format, what about Ryan Mathews, etc etc. The list goes on and on.

Sell high is not selling Ryan Torain. Why? Because his value isn't really high. In order to sell high, his perceived value must be high. The problem is that if his perceived value is high, then you are most likely one of the people who perceive the assets value as high, lol. So it is very hard to pull the trigger.

Sorry if i hijacked this thread, i just had to get the rant out. I could easily just be upset that i gave up LT and Bowe for Deangelo (it is a keeper league i must remind everyone) and now i'm talking up my position. It could all be possible.

Yeah things are sizing up nicely for Charles. He's fresher because Jones takes more than a handful of carries every week. Would we want Charles with an additional 8-10 carries per game? Sure, of course. But heck, the guy could be hurt or more worn down at this point if he had 40-50 more carries at this point.With his next 5 weeks shaping up to be doozies, it'll set himself up to be "the man" come the tail end of the season. The schedule may suck, but he'll get opportunities at carrying the rock and will of course figure into the pass game.
