2nd RB spot - Marion, Ronnie, or a 3rd WR (AJ)?

[BodyBagSlam]

In a weird spot here. I have my first RB. I need to decide on a second RB or using a 1 RB/3 WR layout. the league is a new change to a PPR league, but only for WR/TE spots.

 

If I go with RB #2, I can use Ronnie Brown, Marion Barber, Julius Jones, or even Deangelo Williams (I always think he will be THE MAN in Carolina for some reason, no idea why )

 

If I go with a 3rd WR, I would use Andre Johnson, as the league changed to the new format that would have a WR benefit.

 

I can see lots of possibilities here but I am not sold on any of them, as any of my RB choices appear to be mixed backfields, and AJ is a WR, which is always a risk compared to a RB, in most cases.

 

Any ideas?

With PPR for WR only, and assuming otherwise a fairly standard performance league, I lean AJ given the options. Brown is a close option, but let's say he goes for 100 yards and a score (not unrealistic, but not very likely IMO). AJ only needs 5 catches for 50 yards and a score to match that production, and he is certainly capable of better than that. Even an 8 catch, 80 yard no TD performance matches that better than average performance by Brown.

That was pretty much my thinking as well. Without knowing what the other options are going to shake out as, the WR makes better sense from a standpoint of stability, or at least in a "less is more" context. Maybe as the weeks progress, one of the other RB's may prove to develop into a better choice, but I am leaning heavily to the 3 WR format.
