JumpingJoe57 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I will play in 12 man Standard league. My pick will be in 3rd position of the first round. If A. Foster will be available on the board, Shall I draft him? Shall I bypass him( pick Charles or Martin)? Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GOAT Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 You should draft either Martin or Charles before Foster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helmeto Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I say Martin by a hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrewer Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Gun to my head... I'd take Martin. He was a little inconsistent with those two big wks last yr... somewhat skewing his total stats. But Charles has never had a season like Martin did, even though KC promises to make him the focal point of the offense. I'll take someone who has done it, although a little inconsistent.... over a player with bigger expectations but hasnt. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) toss up...but Martin feels safer to me. Edited August 8, 2013 by BA Baracus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwebs13 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think I would go with Charles, but Martin isnt far behind at all. I too wouldn't draft Foster, BUT I'm sure if healthy will still get his TDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koralkillers Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What about drafting Foster from 6th spot assuming AP, Martin, Charles, Lynch, Spiller all gone.I'm thinking Ray Rice or Foster as its maybe too early for Calvin..12 team, no PPR, standard scoring Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Between Charles and Martin, Charles. Charles is consistent, Martins stats for last year were really spiked by the Raiders game. Charles will give you RB1 points more consistently on a weekly basis, as he has done in the past when he is the feature back with no one stealing carries.

Id only take a RB in that position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutie2518 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Charles or Spiller. Flip a coin. The Bills OC siad he was going to feed CJ the ball until he pukes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1982 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Lots of good answers, but I would definitely not take Foster 3rd overall... I would recommend ADP, Martin and Charles ahead of him... and POSSIBLY even Marshawn Lynch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistolkid Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have Foster listed behind AP, I think trying to go with Charles over Foster is trying to get a little cute, buying the Andy Reid hype just a little too much. I would consider going with Martin over Foster if you really wanted to try for a homerun. My top 5 this year looks like 1. AP 2. Foster 3. Martin 4. Spiller 5. Lynch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haskel Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd go with Charles. With Reid now in KC and Alex Smith dumping off passes, I think Charles is going to get a lot touches. Reid's philosophy/system always seems to produce good fantasy numbers at the RB position (ie. McCoy, Westbrook). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistolkid Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Any top-5 RB list that does not include Jamaal lacks credibility Respectfully, you don't have to argee with it. I have my reasons for not including Charles in my top 5 as you have yours for including him in it. We've seen many top 5 picks do worse than those that are projected outside the top 5 every year and surely nothing is a slam dunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerfreak4488 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I don't know why everyone on this site is so high on Charles, especially since this isn't even a PPR league. In a non-PPR league I would take Peterson, Foster, Lynch, Martin, Spiller in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwebs13 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd go with Charles. With Reid now in KC and Alex Smith dumping off passes, I think Charles is going to get a lot touches. Reid's philosophy/system always seems to produce good fantasy numbers at the RB position (ie. McCoy, Westbrook). this is def an overreaction to the first pre season game, but i did see this a lot and i agree with you. i think Charles has a lot of value and taking him 2nd overall is not a reach. there is risk with any rb, and with foster there is the issue of all the carries he has had. but he does get so many tds that its hard to loose faith in him as a top 5 back. i am someone who likes to play it safe but if i had the 2nd pick, i think i would have to go with charles, he was a home run hitter in years past and with a new offense i think he will only have more home runs.
