I have the 5th pick in 12-team redraft league and I was all set to pick Portis even after the injury. Now (w/ the Duckett trade) he will lose some goal line TDs at the very least so he is out of contention. Enter Rudi Johnson and Stephan Jackson (for discussion purposes lets stick with these two options... no R. Brown please).
Rudi is a solid RB and with Perry injured has no real threat of another back challenging him for playing time. The only injury concern he has is that of his QB. I'm afraid if Palmer is ineffective or reaggrevates hits knee, defenses will start stacking the box against the run.
Stephan Jackson is a beast that plays in a much weaker division. The offense looks definitely more run-oriented this year and Faulk is out of the picture (although Tony Fisher will get some reps). What I'm concerned about is their O-line and Jackson's lingering injuries. I'm not sure how this achilles thing will effect him this year?
I think Rudi is the safer bet, but SJax has more potential for upside. What are your thoughts???
