Just want to know how you guys see MJD performing compared to the other 3 RBs. I would really like to get my hands on MJD, but I don't know if I should deal any of my RBs for him.

 
If I was going to trade any of the three, it would be Barber. That said, I wouldn't do it straight up for MJD, and would want additional compensation. In a PPR it's debatable which of the two would have a better year, but MJD is obviously still in a full committee and I would think his owner is somewhat frustrated by Taylor's presence, and would jump at the chance to trade him for a "starter". Barber is also most likely to break down, and his perceived value as of today is probably higher than his actual value. Felix Jones is no slouch, and the Dallas staff is smart enough not to hand him 20+ carries a game consistently.

Lynch and Gore have great situations in that they have little competition for carries and will remain their teams focal point on offense. Especially in Gore's case, it looks like he stands to catch a lot of passes this year. You'll definitely want to hold on to him in a ppr.

 
I don't like any of them, but if I had to pick, I'd go with Frank Gore.Best chance to score a lot of FF pts,especially in PPR leagues.

MB3 is mired in RBBC, Lynch is decent, but Fred Jackson will steal carries, and MJD is just another change of pace/3rd down RB ( and Fred Taylor is still in Jax, still getting the lion's share of the carries)

Just another change of pace/3rd down RB who averages 43 rec/1,250 tot yards/12 TDs a yearAnd while Taylor may get the "lion's share" of the carries, their total yard are nearly identical, with MJD outscoring Talyor 2:1 (24 TDs to 11) and nearly tripling his receptions (86 to 32) which is invaluable in a PPR league.
 
Frank Gore and it's not even close. He has led the team in receptions the past 2 years and will no doubt catch a ton of balls with Martz calling the plays.

I'm kinda amazed Barber got any votes.
28 TDs and 4.8 YPC the last 2 years tends to influence people I suppose
And 204 carries being the most in a season for his entire career. I think the question is opportunity, and the other three backs look to receive more opportunity sooner than Barber. Barber will still get the TDs out of the running game, but the Cowboys are also becoming more of a passing team, esp w/ Garrett putting his stamp on the team. :censored: I think the reason he's getting the fewest votes is mostly about opportunity.

all 3 years of itseason 1 - 138 carries, 2nd stringseason 2 - 135 carries, 2nd stringseason 3 - 204 carries, Pro Bowlseason 4 - 2nd string traded....
