Who is the pickup of the week? (1 Viewer)

I figured I'd make it a pole. I like Jamaal right now but at first I was leaning towards Greene. I think its a tough call. What are your thoughts?

Let's see. Greene will be a backup to T.Jones and Chaarles was 2nd string to arguably the worst running game in the NFL. I really dont want either of these guys.

Now if T.Jones hets hurt......

Green...have you seen the NYJ's O-Line?

It's really about opportunity. Greene had a great day, but it was against Oakland in a blowout. As long as TJones is healthy, would you expect him to really do more than Leon? Jamaal, however, seems to have first shot at the starter job for the rest of the year, even if it is behind a bad oline. Not much reason for Haley to keep LJ around at this point, it could be Charle's job for the rest of the year.

Charles is working with the first string, Johnson is in the doghouse bigtime. Charles is averaging 5 yards a carry, Johnson under 3 yards. I am not sure Charles is second string. I guarantee he starts the next game and will be given a chance to keep the job.

Jamal CHarles due to opportunity and touches.Charles as we believe ( can change) is the starter they ruin the RB 25 times a game and he is a above average pass catcher. Green got carries in a blowout when Jones was on the bench. Green isnt as good a running back as Leon Washington and Leon wasnt exactly putting up great numbers or getting consistent touches. Barring a TJ injury its got to be Charles.

It's interesting that Greene did a whole lot more than Leon had done in any game this year. With and aging back in Jones, and a great O-line, I could see Greene being involved to the tune of 65% TJones & 35% Greene. I like Charles in PPR leagues, but I don't think that O-line can create running lanes and I think his rushing yards will be mediocre.

True, but they've never been that big of a blowout either. I've only seen two hilites of either guy, but I think JC has the best opp. <shrug>

I agree that Chaarles will most likely start next game and could start the rest of the year depending on if LJ gets cut, suspended, etc. But, considering LJ has been just awful this year what can you really expect Chaarles to do? I mean Chaarles was a backup to one of the worst performing RBs so far this year.

Wait a sec....was it a blow out before or AFTER Green got in the game?

His first carry came with 11:22 in the second quarter

Green scored his FIRST TD in the 5:56 left in the 2nd quarter. It was 14-0 at that point and 21-0 after.

Nice observation. Jamaal pros - Could be starter the rest of the way, good pass catching....anything elsecons - KC O-line, will be playing from behind all the timeGreene pros - Will get 10 carries most weeks because Jets run, run, run, HUGE value IF Jones goes down, big production in very small sample size, great o-lineCons - 2nd string, rookie QBNot sure of Greene's past, anybody have more info on him, ie pass catching skills? power back? etc...Week 14-16 scheduleJamaal - Buf, Cle, @ CinGreene - @TB, Atl, @IndPretty even schedule
