Pick a four RB combo .... (1 Viewer)

[gregjcross]

Just seeing which RB combo is the best considering production, age, and NFL team situation

I went with the first one since that one will probably get you the most production "overall" for this year. But LJ by himself could possibly outscore them all if he scores 20+ td's again.

But by doing that you are putting all your eggs in one basket.

The eggs in one basket analogy is a very apt description for the LJ team , but if greg jones gets the starting role, coudl really be decent.

I chose #2 just because it seems like the least risky scenario. #1 would be my 2nd choice. #4 is obviously the worst IMO. #3 hurts my brain.

Larry Johnson is better than the production of your other quartets by himself, so anything beyond that is a bonus.

I'm not sure why you'd think this is of any worth. What draft spots do you have and plan on using for RBs? That would be a much better method of analysis.

Edit: Just for , I think Maurice Drew would present the more clear value over Greg Jones.

Larry Johnson + Maurice Drew wouldn't be all that terrible, and there are a half dozen RB2 options available between RDs 5-7.

If you happened to be unlucky enough to be stuck with one of those lists, it's your own fault.

If you were stuck with picking from one of these and locking your roster away all season, #4 is the clear winner, because you get two solid feature backs in DD and DWill who will be opening day starters and are both in great situations.

DD is one of my top rated fantasy backs after the big three, and he'll be completely recovered and in full form when the season rolls around. And that means 120ypg + TDs.

DWill is also a rock-solid option, as it's only a matter of a simple training camp battle for him to beat out Foster, who will be a great #2 man.

And then you also have your Gado/Bell who should provide each 2-3 games of solid value (hopefully during your bye week blues )

The Problem with Edge/JJ/Fred/B3 is that outside of Edge, who is a huge question mark for TDs (although his yardage should still be right up there), you have what looks like a perfect split in Dallas with JJ/B3 and I don't personally believe Fred Taylor will be starting this year very long.

scoring system? did you say this was a keeper league? how many keepers?

#3 is an odd situation, the reason I think this is interesting as a poll rather than post. I want to see overall what fantasy owners think of one stud theory at RB at the expense of having balance.

Its a dynast and salary cap league, so #3 is an owner that was down record-wise a bit over two years, recovered in '05, picked up Larry J this year by dropping money commited to D. Foster and taking a major cap hit for LJ for his winning bid. This owner hopes that rookie picks of previous years, G.Jones ('04) and C. Fason ('05) come through to provide depth.

I chose #2 just because it seems like the least risky scenario. #1 would be my 2nd choice. #4 is obviously the worst IMO. #3 hurts my brain.

 

[J-Rock]

I like option #3.

LJ is obviously on the verge of becoming a super stud and will put up better numbers than any of the top 2 players in the other scenarios combined. G. Jones is going to take over from Taylor and will also be a solid Fantasy back. Barlow may resurface as a decent starter in SF or somewhere (probably not). and Fason is 50/50 to win a starting job somewhere too, he has some potential.

I just think with this option you have 2 sure things who will out produce the other potions.

The edge option also looks good.

12 team dynasty league. these are four current RB corps.; 4 pts for TDs and 1 pt for every 10 yards. each team built its rb corps over a couple of years. the point of the poll is to contrast the differiing strategies

Oh, so these are the set rosters, and you're just seeing which is the best?I'd say #1 would have been the best had it not been for the unanticipated emergence of B3.

Considering that, #3 looks pretty terrible to me... if Priest didn't go down last year, he had no starting RBs....

If you're looking for a ranking, I'd say 4, 3, 1, 2

 

[gregjcross]

#1 would easily be the best except for Marion Barber III, it makes it kind of interesting. If MB3 and Julius share time and get vultured by TO for some TDs, suddenly you are counting on Edge in AZ with an aging Freddy T at RB2. All three RBs have some concerns.

But a clear cut runner in DAL and thsi would be far and away the best set
