I can see your dilemma here. Owens name alone can get your thoughts going in different directions and if Freddy Taylor wasnt know as "Fragile" then I'd say jump on it brother.
But, the hard facts are: Priest Holmes is the man, i picked him up last year and people laughed. But, Holmes has proven himself as a tough, durable, little S.O.B.
Freddy might stay healthy this year, but that is a gamble. I dont want to steer you wrong here, Taylor is going to have a hell of a season, depending on his health. There is no doubt that he is probably one of the most gifted backs to ever play the game, but just his history makes him a gamble.
Give it some time, both Holmes and Rice are putting up better numbers than Owens and Taylor right now. Though, Owens would be a nice WR to have, giving up the top Fantasy RB isn't justifyable.
