Rb Question?

Question

Who should I pick up? Corey Dillion, Jamal Lewis, Chester Taylor, Ahman Green, Deshaun Foster, or Laurence Maroney?

Answer 1

Ok, there is no way you are in a league with more than 7 people...

1) Don't take Green. That's for sure. The O-line makes grandma look tough.

2) Maroney and Dillon are both good fantasy options together, however, apart they are hard to figure out. I would say: take dillon in the beggining of the season and then later drop him for Maroney.

3) Chester Taylor is a solid 3rd RB in most leagues. I would pick him up immediately.

4) Foster is a great pick early in the season. He's on a run-based team and will get alot of carries until he breaks down. Since he's on your waiver wire, I'd pick him up over dillon or maroney and start Foster until he gets hurt. Then you can just drop him.

5) Jamal Lewis is the most interesting guy on here. Years ago he dominated the league with rushing yds and TD's, but now he's showing signs of wear and tear in his recent injury and will lose some goalline carries to Anderson. However, if he can come back to old form with McNair making defenses honest against the run, then Lewis could be a viable starter. COULD be.

Answer 2

Dillon is the safest bet. He was injured most of last year, but still managed to score 12 TDs. He's healthy this year, and although Maroney should steal some carries from him, I still think Dillon will have a very productive year.

Taylor or Foster would be next best, but neither are sure things. I have my doubts that either player will last the entire year.

Lewis and Green should be avoided until you actually see them play this season. It's possible that both of these guys are totally washed up.

Maroney won't see enough carries to warrant taking, unless Dillon gets hurt. If you do pick up Dillon, try to pick up Maroney too as a handcuff.

Answer 3

Stay away from Jamal Lewis and Laurence Maroney. Lewis is fighting injury problems and Maroney may not be the starter for his team. Same problem with Foster: he's not a starter.

Pick up Green, since he's a guaranteed #1 back. You may also want to consider Taylor for the same reason.

Answer 4

Pick up Taylor, and Maroney. Don't listen to those guys. Dillon is getting old and injury prone, Green just isn't any good, Lewis has lost his spark, and Foster gets injured too often. Maroney will get to return kicks and get carries, and sometime during the season he will become the starter. Taylor is a sleeper.

Answer 5

Its tough to decide. Taylor will start but he's injury prone. Foster and Green are the same. Dillon is the best choice but he might lose out some carries to Maroney. After that I'd take Lewis because with McNair at QB he'll get more space to run.

Answer 6

If its a keeper/dynasty league you go Chester Taylor/Laurence Maroney. But if its just a one year league you will go with Chester Taylor/Ahman Green.

Answer 7

It must be LT, he does each and every little thing suitable. He the superb interior the NFL becuase he's an all around RB. He can run, seize, and block greater efficient than any RB. Peterson is extremley impressive, quite in view that hes is merely a rookie or perhaps splitting incorporates with Chester Taylor. yet he cant do each and every little thing LT can yet, supply Peterson some greater years to check.

Answer 8

taylor no doubt.
dillon won't start the whole season (maroney's coming on strong)
lewis is gonna get less touches cuz mcnair will throw more 2 heap and mason
green is coming off injury and has competition 2 start
foster has deangelo williams waiting
maroney will share time with dillon
taylor also has the best o-line in the whole league

Answer 9

Chester Taylor. He looks a good bet to the featured back for the Vikings.

Answer 10

dillon.
lewis is hurt, has been having some rough years
taylor, could be useful however he's more a reserve back than a starter
green, will get the touches but he suffers from fumbleitis and seems to have lost some pep in his step.
foster, again more reserve back
maroney,???
