Wali Lundy appears first on the depth chart (1 Viewer)

I am not going to try to convince myself of something opposite of what is clear from having watched the game last night...Wali Lundy is the starting RB in Houston, for now. So, I just dropped Morency for Lundy. I hope I'm right.

You would be a fool not to hold them both right now.

Not really. I don't have the roster space for both of them. I am not going to drop Maroney, Gore, Barber or any of my starting RB's for him, so I am just going to lay the money on the guy I think is going to win the job - Lundy.Would you really drop any of those RB's for Lundy or would you have just held Morency? I don't think I had much of a choice here - Morency or Lundy; not both.

Kubiak in Houston will do exactly what they do in Denver. Draft a low guy they like and start them for cheap. No wonder why Kubiak passed on Bush! He has to be thinking that he can plug in any RB he likes and get great production out of them, so why not draft a guy like julius Peppers(Mario Williams). All I have to say is that I drafted W. Lundi for $1 two days ago

That is exactly his reasoning behind passing on Bush. Who was the last Broncos RB to be drafted high? Tatum Bell. So far he's been outproduced in the system by backs drafted much later.Both Kubiak and the Texans management felt that Mario + later RB > Bush + later DE. They needed a cornerstone from the 3-4 to 4-3 switch and felt Mario was best suited for that. Time will tell whether that was right or not, but the debate should really be whether they should have traded down and acquired more picks or a player and drafted Mario a little later. They didn't feel it was worth the potential risk of losing him, so they went ahead with the pick.As far as Lundy vs. Morency...I owned Morency until last night. I think Kubiak is really starting to lean towards his guy. They have similar stats against different levels of defensive teams (1's vs. 2's) and Lundy is, afterall, the RB Kubiak drafted to work within his system. Lundy's blocking is improving, and with that his chance of escalated playing time. Both won't start the season being viable RB2 starters yet because of the shared carries, but by season's end I feel like Lundy has the better chance to emerge as the full time Houston starter, and thus he's on my roster over Morency.

I had Denver backfield last year and it sucked.

You have high standards. Mike Anderson finished as the #10 RB.

My bet is what sucked for Dirtyduzn, was picking the wrong Denver RB to play each week.I've read of a few fantasy footballers who ran into that problem with the Denver RB's last year. Had both Anderson & Bell and invariably chose to start the wrong one..

It seemed better to have one or the other, but not both.

I think that means he drafted everyone except Mike Anderson.
