BeeR Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I generally try to get a top RB and a top 10ish RB2 - last yr I landed Rudi and it worked out pretty well. In 06 my main targets are: Rudi - un-flashy but likely safe/solid pick Jackson - flashier upside, somewhat riskier, but I like the potential w/a more balanced attack Jordan - good combined run/receive ability and (hopefully) improved O, including healthy Moss (?) and shouldn't be too pricey I am not fired up about: EJ - will be overpriced IMO McGhee - O still sucks and thought he was overrated last year, hasn't changed Barber - he proves me wrong every year but age has to catch up sooner or later - plus think he will cost more than worth in our auction lg R Brown - just not a believer plus QB situation is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishFreak Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 B-West and DD are the perfect no. 2 RB's especially in leagues that give points for receptions. In a perfect world of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaboy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think DD will surprise alot they have beefed up the Oline, he will have a good year, I would take him late first early second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His durability is always an issue but his knee seems to be swelling up on a regular basis now. I'm wondering if he'll need surgery again?

Perchoutofwater Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 B-West and DD are the perfect no. 2 RB's especially in leagues that give points for receptions. In a perfect world of course. In two leagues I'm in if you project their points for games missed due to injury, both are top 10. Of course this is a league where you get points for receptions. Both are very solid #2 RBs, and if they can stay healthy both could turn into #1 RB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yeah PPR makes a big diff (we don't) at least in some cases. DD I really like but don't trust him to show up every week. He helped me a lot but also drove me nuts the one year I had him on my team. I like Westbrook OK but think his cost will be jacked up a bit high by somone, plus IMO he has no real upside. The word on Taylor is he's stinking up the joint and has a poor attitude, plus there are too many others who could steal carries. There is no way I want any RB names Jones as my RB2.

All Ihave heard on Taylor is that he has missed camps, but is with a trainer in south Florida and in excellent shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
