Keeper RB Next Year?

[webbnathan]

We can keep one keeper RB for next year. My keepers already are P. Manning and L. Fitzgerald. I was going to keep Ray Rice till these last couple of weeks. I picked Charles up mid season, like many and he has only put up monster numbers week after week since he took over the starters role. Am I crazy to keep Charles over Rice?

[Wpob]

Nope. I would keep Charles too.

I'd take Rice. Charles, while awesome, is still just too light for me to trust. I like Ray Rice's build/frame and team around him.

How soon do you have to decide? If McGahee goes somewhere in the offseason, then Rice's value shoots way up. Is this a ppr league? If so, again, I think Rice is the winner. Charles has been great, but I agree with the post about him being light. He reminds me of Slaton to some degree. Can't trust him to keep going at the kind of pace he is and stay healthy.

It's 6 pts per TD and 1 pt per 10 yds.

 

Don't have to select till our draft next August so yea can see how things play out but man this is gonna be tuff.

[LayLow]

ugh

 

Charles reminds me of say...Pierre Thomas, Ryan Grant, J Addai, LJ a few years back. They are extremely HOT for half the year and go into the following season looking like the clear cut stud starter. Besides LJ who had nearly 400 carries and put up nice numbers, the rest ended up being say RB#2's.

 

 

I'd keep Rice

[Henry Muto]

odds are stacked heavily in Charles favor.

 

I traded D-Williams and Gore in my dynasty league back in 2006 before they were anything big and look at them now

 

I traded Charles after week 8 before he had done 1 thing this entire season in my dynasty league and he blew up the very next day!

 

So I would say with my history of giving up dynasty RBs that blow up Charles is a lock to be the next Chris Johnson

Can you keep more, not much info to go by, but say if you can keep a TE also, maybe trade Charles for a

stud TE.

Otherwise I would keep Rice.

[isleseeya]

i would say Rice but not by much

Wait until the last week and repost. It's too tough to tell right now TBH.

Wait until the last week and repost. It's too tough to tell right now TBH.

 

This, though I will add me traditional caveat that if you can trade either one for a pick(s), then try go that route. Trade one, keep the other.

[Duchess Jack]

that's a tough, but good decision to have. I'd go Rice though becasue he's done it longer and has a better chance of being real. Who knows what Charles is going to do next year. I think he'll be great, but Rice is surly here to stay and you just cannot say that with Charles. KC picking up Weis though bodes well for Charles.

[Zooty]

I like Charles but I like Rice more.

 

If KC signs or drafts a RB that will tell you a lot.
