broncosn05 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Gore-Barlow Norv Turner features one back so I'd definetely take these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admtahoe Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I like Jones and Benson, Both are capable runners and can both fill the number 1 slot. The only drawback is all the rumors of both playing equally, I could see Benson edge out Jones. New England passes first and runs second, I wouldn't take their RB's. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 tough call. i know it would not be gore/barlow for me ... i'm not wasting two picks on offensive players from san francisco. i go either pats or colts just for their more high powered offenses.

Agreed. I don't know why people are so high on Gore. He plays for arguabley the worst team in football and he couldn't stay healthy in college, what makes people think he'll stay healthy in the pros? Everyone thinks the Pats are a pass happy team, but Dillon ran for 1600 and 12 TD's just two years ago. Dillon also had 12 TD's last year in only 12 games. Addai could be something special. He's in a RB friendly offense and he's a better blocker than Rhodes, which should mean he'll see more PT. Edited August 9, 2006 by Capt.

Caveman_Nick Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Benson/Jones will probably be the most productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Take Maroney, dont waste a roster spot on Dillon, hes done. In the fantasy sense? Yes. Only if absolutely necessary. Maroney won't start being a capable fantasy starter until AT LEAST the last third of the season, and even then, I expect Dillon to still get enough of a workload to question how much goal line activity the rookie gets. And to answer the question, Benson/Jones is the only handcuff I'd really excited about among those listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 In a fantasy sense I would actually take the Addai-Rhodes combo. One of those two is going to fit in very nicely in a high scoring, fantasy-friendly offense. Edge has in the past been a fantasy superstar. The Chicago and SF offenses haven't delivered on fantasy points in the past and New England just spreads it around too much for my taste. Have to stick with the INDY offense.

Grits and Shins Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I almost never draft handcuffs unless they can be had very late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Which pair I'd rather have or which handcuff RB I'd rather have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghengis_chan Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Why isn't Foster and Deangelo on this list? Of all the handcuffs, this tandem would be my preference. Carolina is a run first team with a stout D and a guy named Smith to keep em from stacking 8 in the box to stop the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncosn05 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) I don't know why people are so high on Gore. Norv Turner, a coach who features one back. Nolan also likes Gore because he finished the season strong and is a product of a Nolan draft pick. Next is that 4.8 yard average, which ranked 6th amongst RBs. They will attempt to establish the run early, not going to gurantee 20 carries a game but 15-16 isn't out of the question and with Smith struggling with TDs, Gore will see most of the red zone chances. He also has a very easy run schedule. Also Gore and Barlow are going to go a lot later in a draft than the others because they play on the 9ers. I don't even think you need to get Barlow, guy is a disaster. Injuries are a problem to be measured, but his upside is huge.

Muggsy Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Addai/Rhodes Benson/Jones would have been my choice until they both ended up hurt in the first week of camp, unless you want to handcuff your handcuffs by drafting Peterson also(haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbluefan Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I would rather be handcuffed to Jessica Simpson !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOfKnee Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Deangelo/Foster Rhodes/Addai - Huge reward, minimal risk. Edit to say, Pass on Addai and grab Dom in the 6/7. Edited August 10, 2006 by KnightsOfKnee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
