If you could only keep one

10 team, inflated performance scoring league. 1 pt per reception 1 pt for every 5 carries, 1 pt for every 10 yds rushing and recieving extra pts for yds per carry and yds per reception. We keep 5 players with no time limit or draft compensation, limit no more than 3 players at any one position. Can start 0-3 RBs.

OK with all that being said my other backs are Duece M and Shaun A. So which of the 2 Jones boys would you keep?

Right now I'm leaning towards Kevin. Any thoughts?

You'd be making a huge mistake in keeping Kevin Jones over Julius Jones. JJ should be a top-5 RB next season. Kevin got a little hot at the end of the season, but did nothing to merit keeping him, unless your other choices were Pittman and Barlow, for instance.

I don't know that I'd go that far yet, actually I know I wouldn't, but I would definitely keep Julius over Kevin...Parcells loves to pound the ball with the run and Jones showed towards the end of the season that he can carry a 25-30 carry a game load. Mariucci has never really shown a strong commitment to the run.

Shoulda said "could" instead of "should". :D

 

I personally have the 2005 RBs ranked as such:

 

1. LT

2. Alexander

3. Davis

4. McGahee

5. Holmes

 

After that, you could consider Portis (rebound year?), Dillon, Edge, Lewis, or as I noted, Jones. With two of the top-5 RBs having injury history (Holmes, McGahee), one who had a slight fumbling problem this past season (Davis), and another which may not be playing for the same team (Alexander)... you never know who could slide into that elite set.

I can agree with that then. :D

Yep, there was another thread about the top picks next year and I agree completely...it's going to be very hard to rank the RBs next season based on so many big names having off years, and a few young guys turning it on towards the end of the year. After LT and Alexander, you could make a pretty good argument for any one of about 10 guys as the next RB taken. I tend to look first at guys who catch a lot of passes, and judging by where you put Dom, it looks like you feel the same way.

Hands down...JJ over KJ.

 

Good Luck. Keep them both if you have a borderline keeper that you can drop instead of one of them.
