Maroney vs. Henry (1 Viewer)

[LA Football Fan]

Hi Folks

I've got a decision to make in my single keeper league. I've got both at below fair market value. Henry is a little cheaper than Maroney.

Questions - Who do you keep? Will Maroney lose goal line to Morris? Will Shanahan crush me?

Thanks

Maroney appears healthy , and you can't say the same for Henry . . .easy call . . .

 

[Floyd The Barber]

If the league scoring is weighted to touchdowns, keep Henry and don't look back. Otherwise keep Maroney.

 

[The Man with the Plan]

Maroney's the chic pick but Henry while injured (should be healthy by week 1) is proven while Maroney as of yet is not. Maybe I'm too cynical but until Maroney shows me something I have to go with the proven back.

Heath Evans is a good (very good) short yardage back and will get the goaline carries like Dillon did last season.

Henry.

Full disclosure....In my league I had to keep two our of Maroney, Parker and Smith. I kept Maroney and Parker. All three were at below market prices. After what I saw last night I kept Maroney. He will be around for years and I expect him to be a STUD. Even Dodds does not believe that Morris will vulter the TD's at the goal line.

No link. This is opinion. But, Heath is a very good short yardage back and I don't think Bellichick has any desire to have Maroney take a pounding at the goaline or he would have let him stay in some last year, would have let Maroney take the red jersey off earlier then this week, etc.Totally opinion, and I can be very wrong, but I really do think I am correct.

Not that this validates my opinion at all, but Rotoworld agrees it could happenatriots RB Heath Evans has been getting a lot of touches in camp.Evans, who got a surprising five touches in the AFC title game, is expected to have an increased role in the New England offense this season. He might become fantasy-relevant if the Pats look to him in short-yardage situations. Watch him, certainly don't draft him.

I beg to differ about Evans. He will be used as a work horse in SOME short yardage plays, but as a goal line back, NO. When has Belichick/OC used a fullback on goal line situations on a consistent bases? He doesn't...you don't know with him. If you are going on what happened last night, you are mistaken my friend. Evans has been on the team for about 3 years and hasn't used him yet. He only scored 1 TD as a pro and I think that came on a pass. If anyone would steal TD's from Maroney, it could be ahhh Watson, or ahhhh Morris, or ahhh even Vrable.Go ahead and draft him. If you have that gut feeling that he will steal TD's from Maroney or any other Pats RB.

How long can you keep either one? If it's for several years, I'd probably go Maroney. For this year, I'd say Henry is the better pick.

I have zero interest in drafting Evans. And, you're saying that Evans hasn't been used in that role over the past 3 seasons but you had Corey Dillon who is a very good goaline RB all three of those seasons. There was no need to use Evans because he wasn't your best option and Dillon was a proven workhorse who proved he could take a pounding.Now, with Dillon no longer in the picture, and Maroney having a below average build for an NFL RB, you see no chance that Bellichick will use Evans at the goaline to save Maroney the pounding? I don't care he hasn't used him in the past. Evans was never the best option in the past. Now it looks like he is.Plus, the Patriots have very little depth at RB, right? If something happened to Maroney then your running game would take a tremendous hit. Protecting Maroney is vital to the Pats' offense and leaving in an thin-framed RB at the goaline when you have a perfectly capable and agile FB who weighs 250 lbs is not the way to do it.How can you disagree with that logic?

I agree.P.S. Does your league give extra points for offspring? If so, Henry is DEFINITELY the pick....

TRAVIS HENRY STARTING HIS OWN TEAM?

Pats quarterback Tom Brady's first child was born this week. But to be a true Hall-of-Famer in this endeavor, Brady needs to get back to work. Otherwise, he'll never catch Broncos running back Travis Henry, who has fathered nine children with nine different women.

Two more and he can field a football team.

For one of the children, Henry recently was ordered to pay $3,000 per month in support, and to fund by next spring a $250,000 trust to ensure that ongoing payments will be made.

Dude, condoms are sooooo much cheaper than that.

The quarter-million-dollar fund was ordered because of concerns that Henry spends his money recklessly, including $100,000 on a car and $146,000 on jewelry.

Henry's impressive-to-the-point-of-absurd virility gives him the slightest of edges over Maroney, about whose soldiers we know nothing.

Maybe Henry needs to take chastity lessons from Shawn Kemp or Elijah Dukes, 9-for-9 is an NFL record and he's still got a few more years in the league. And a two striker in the Substance Abuse program to boot. I guess Shanny doesn't care much for "character"

At this point is he even checking paternity or just writing checks to any chick who approaches him and says she had his kid?
