d28lion Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 One keeper league, who would you keep? Ronnie Brown or Rudi Johnson??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Ronnie...both are good options though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Both are good options but I like Ronnie. Some shy away from him because he has not carried the load by himself yet. However, he is the man now. Rudi is proven but may lose some 3rd down carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primetime9287 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Ronnie Brown for sure. Go check out Rudi's stats with Chris Perry in the lineup. I believe Rudi had 2 touchdowns going into Week 10 last year with Perry in the backfield. Plus Ronnie is the #5 RB this year, maybe #4 with Portis getting hurt...

YoungBob Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Another vote for Ronnie here. I think he's a stronger keeper option than Rudi. Is it a PPR league? If so, Ronnie is certainly your guy. Remember Rudi's tough schedule too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Don't think you can go wrong wither way, but I persoanlly have Ronnie a little higher, mainly because I do think Perry will get a slightly increased role this year which could dip into Rudi's numbers a bit.

Flip_Side Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Plus Ronnie is the #5 RB this year, maybe #4 with Portis getting hurt... I got Tiki over Ronnie easily. But yeah Ronnie over Rudi anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'd take Ronnie, but it's close. Don't downgrade Rudi because of Perry. Perry hasn't even practiced in training camp and there's some talk of him being added to the PUP to start the season due to his pesky ankle that he had surgery on in the offseason. Rudi is too valuable between the tackles for Perry to be anything more than a change of pace/3rd down back. I just think Ronnie's ceiling is much higher than Rudi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d28lion Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I agree with all the Ronnie Brown votes, however Rudi Johnson's numbers were better than Brown's and Williams' combined last season. Rudi, along with Chad Johnson and Hasselback, carried my team to the Super Bowl victory. Is it better to look at projected numbers or past performances???

Capt. Stanky Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It really depends on what you're looking for with your keeper. Are you looking for that sure thing then take Rudi. If you're looking for a back with allot of upside then take Ronnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for a back with allot of upside then take Ronnie. Sure thing is what everyone is looking for, RIGHT? They both did great for me last year last, however Rudi was the 8th RB in our league scoring last year. Spliting the carries in MIA, Brown was 24th. Do you really think Brown will be in the top 10 with all the load in MIA? And can he handle it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think Brown will be in the top 10 with all the load in MIA? And can he handle it??? Hard to say. But, you have to think the addition of Culpepper and the loss of Ricky Williams (is it really a loss?) will help him. He is carrying the load and there is now a legit QB there to open up the passing lanes and keep teams from stacking up against the run. So, you have Rudi, who IMO is likely to be in that 8-12 ange of RBs consistently. Then you have ROnnie, who could be in the 12-16 range, but could just as easily be a top 6 RB. Rudi is safe choice, but Ronnie has more upside but more risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonKnight Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'd take Rudi. Had him last year. He was a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
