Mid-round RB3 (1 Viewer)

[Callas Disregard]

Seems to me that Benson and Jones are the safer picks as they are clear-cut starters, but they also have limited upside, IMO. Brown and Rice are much more likely to be RBBC but have greater potential if they move into a featured role. Assuming that your RB3 may have to start half the season due to byes and injuries, which one of these guys do you want in rounds 7-8?

Thomas Jones..

I do think he will hit a "wall" this year but the guy had 1300/13 last year.

Not a bad #3RB

Are you trying to add a 5th choice or did you confuse him with his brother Julius?I think T. Jones makes a solid RB3, but I don't expect him to be available in round 7, so I left him off the list.

most all mocks i've done (10 team) Thomas Jones is avialable in the 7th round.

Just did one at the 2nd slot

JENNINGS

WESTBROOK

T. JONES

NOT trying to steal you thunder but I wouldnt take any of the guys you mentioned. maybe an outside shot at benson

It would be nice to get T Jones, I agree, but I'm not going to assume that'll happen when there's a good chance it won't. I'm running mocks on Draft Dominator using various ADP defaults and for one of my leagues the 4 RBs I've listed are clustered together and usually available later than T Jones. If on draft day, my DD mocks turn out to be accurate and I'm faced with drafting one of those 4, I'm having a tough time figuring out how to rank them. I plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Rice by a lot

Rice by a lot

Agreed. Like to go with upside with my RB3.

Is this a clever who do I draft thread?

I don't like Benson, horrible schedule. More posts about that in another recent thread.

Donald Brown? The Colts will be effective running the ball. I just don't know who will get how many FF points.

Rice looks okay. No strong feelings on his outlook.

Julius Jones... now, I've been burned by this fool before, but I think you could do worse at RB3. I have him ranked 20th, the trick of course is to choose the weeks he's worth starting. In a slow draft you could see whether his games against those weak NFC West defenses correspond to tough matchups for your RB1/2.
