"Marion The Barbarian" or "Marion The Librarian"? (1 Viewer)

Is MBIII a good buy low? Or are the 'Boys going to stay with the 3 headed headache? Or are they gonna start leaning on Felix?

 
I have the librarian as my RB3 (7th round in a 12 teamer; jaw drop!) in my free league. If it was a money league, I'd be throwing things.

 
Marion the pedestrian sounds about right to me. I would avoid the Dallas RBBC at this point until something shakes out to give you an idea of who will get the majority of carries.

 
Sounds like Law Firm (if I can snag him off the ww) holds about the same value as MBIII and I don't have to trade for him.

Thanks

Ummm...no. There is still a chance that the Cowgirls can right the ship and patchup up their run game. BJGE is RB4 and MBIII is RB2 (or RB1A).
Dude.............wow. Not a chance he is RB1A, or anything remotely close unless you are playing in a 32 team league.ETA: then he still would be RB1C or something like that.

He was my RB4 til Grant happened - now is my RB3. I'm on the same page with you about wanting to throw things cause I am not looking forward to him putting out the big 3 or 4 points for me on upcoming byes.He got outscored by effing Marshawn Lynch this week. Effing Lynch.

Well, to be fair, Lynch has an awesome grill.

I don't think BJGE is 4th on the NE RB depth chart. I think he's Fred's backup and Sammy Morris is Kevin Faulk's backup. And as Fred's backup, he got more carries than Fred yesterday.So we have a RBBC back on a pass-first offense - much like MBIII and DAL. Maybe not an exact comparison but close.
 
Whole lotta overreacting going on in this thread.
Meaning MBIII can still have a good fantasy season?
Yup. People are comparing him to Law Firm, which is insane. He's the 1A RB (and goal line back) on what is likely an explosive offense. Dallas has struggled running the ball through two weeks, but they faced Washington (who was last seen holding Arian Foster to 3.6 yards per carry) and Chicago (who was last seen holding Jahvid Best to 1.7 yards per carry). How did Jahvid Best do when he wasn't playing Chicago? How did Arian Foster do when he wasn't playing Washington? How do you think Marion Barber is going to do when he isn't playing one of the league's best run defenses?

Good points.

BJGE is officially rotating with Fred on a series-by-series basis. He is now in a 1A/B situation. Admittedly it's on a team that really only runs to remind other teams that they still can on occasion.Oh and Faulk got hurt yesterday, depending on the severity it may mean more carries for Fred and BJGE.
 
Expect the Cowboys to come out and try to establish their running game early this week similar to what the Colts did to the Giants last night. If they can't get anything going you may want to worry a bit then.

Marion Barber should still be the back in the red zone and if Dallas can ever get a lead he'll be the guy trying to ice victories.

 
As a guy with too many Cowboys on my roster, I figure one they get 40% of thier O-line back they will start to work things out and eventially get hot as the schedule gets a little better. MBIII is going to be the guy aroung the end zone for them which should make him useful at least as a back up/bye week guy.

Optimism or Delusion...time will tell.

marshawn lynch isn't hard to outscore
 
I have a feeling MBIII will be a huge part of the game next week.

I would not trust him week in and week out though. I have him in a dynasty, havent started him yet. Dont plan to.
