Have to keep one of these RB's. Ok, go ahead and get the laughing out of your system. This is actually my wifes team and she needs help.

F. Taylor (Jac - RB)
T. Thompson (Dal - RB)
K. Barlow (SF - RB)
D. Rhodes (Ind - RB)

We start 2 rb's
1pt. per 10 yards rushing, receiving and returns.
6 pt. per TD

She has 1st pick in the draft for a reason but, needs to keep one of these guys.

Thanks

Rhodes seems like the obvious choice to me.

That was my thought also. Is he going to start ahead of Addai? Second choice would probably be injury prone Fred Taylor.

I have a feeling Addai's going to beat out Rhodes. Barlow won't start and neither will Thompson. I'd keep Taylor...he's an injury waiting to happen but at least for now he's the starter. Rhodes might not be a bad keep but most are projecting he won't be the starter.

i'd go w/ Fred Taylor. the whole injury thing is overrated. that's fantasy news from like 2001. we're in 2006 and he doesn't get injured as often.

don't go with taylor if you need TDs, only 11 rushing TDs the past 3 seasons combined

Yeah, Taylor is on the downside. Rhodes doesn't have a lot of mileage and he has had 1000 yard season in the past. Since, he has an explosive offense around him, I think he'll get his yards this year.

Rhodes has much better upside - if he can win and keep the job, he could end up being a top 10 back with that offense. Taylor's probably safer, in that he'll definitly start as long as he's healthy, but if your wife's team has problems, she might as well take the gamble with Rhodes.

Keep Rhodes, try to draft Addai as a handcuff.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
My advice to her was basically what you guys said.
Rhodes if he is starting with Taylor as the second choice.

Thanks again

Except for Rhodes' who,e torn ACL thingy that took all of his explosion.

Rhodes has higher upside. Taylor is the safer choice. Thompson might get cut.

Yeah, Taylor hasn't had any injuries that he has come back from..
