Most Upside: Ahman Green, Kevin Jones, or Jamal Lewis

Postby ckl81 » Tue Sep 27, 2005 11:08 pm

Ahman Green, Kevin Jones, Jamal Lewis

All of these guys have been pretty much busts so far, but who do you think has the best chance to turn things around?

I have Ahman Green and am thinking about trading him to upgrade my RB position for one of these guys. It might take a little more than just a one-to-one trade, but for this question, how would you order these guys?

KJ had a nice first game where he nearly rushed for 100 yards.
In Game 2, he was shut down by a Chicago defense that has proven better than expected.
Week 3 was a bye for the Lions.
I think the perception that he is a bust after one bad game may make him the best trade target.
Need big trade advice:

Well, one thing is for sure, Ahman Green is easily the worst of the three. If you're looking on making a trade, you better do it this week for sure. Lewis' value is trash, but their schedule is melted butter over the next month and a half. The Ravens are bad, but they'll win at least a couple of these game even w/ Wright at QB. I have K. Jones, and I'm obviously not happy with the guy, but he will come around. I would rather have Lewis over the other two though.

Agreed. Ahman is the guy, ironically, with the best stats for the year, so it may appear that turd for turd is a fair trade, to some unsuspecting owners. But I like Jamal most of the 3, and a lot of that depends on if putting fullbacks back into the blocking scheme helps like they said it should. KJ is the middle guy on both. I wouldn't want him on my team right now. I really don't feel good about the Detroit line.

At the beginning of the season - a whopping 3 games ago - I ranked them, and still rank them in this order:

J. Lewis
KJ
Ahman (didn't want to touch em after owning last year)

Both Balt & Detroit have similarly bad offenses. Speculation was that Lewis wasn't even in "game shape" at the start of the season.. I'd expect that after a bye, he'll start taking off.

Wouldnt the return of DET's probowl FB get the same consideration as BAL returning to a FB system?

Dont get me wrong - I too would take JLew right now, but I do want to add that KJ has also been without Sledge for the first 2 games.

Both JLew and KJ top my list of buy low candidates.

I would say Lewis. They seem to wanting to give him more carries and even trying out new offense formation (I-Form), to what Lewis actually perfers. I think Lewis has the most upside, but it kinda depends on their passing attack too.

Jamal Lewis

He'll turn it around. Balt has aways been a horrible offense and he has put solid numbers. don't forget he's one of the most talented rbs in the league.

kj will bounce back and have a very good season. as cb pointed out det's fullback is coming back and that will help out kj.

green is the worst of the 3. trade him if u can. there d is horrible so he won't get too many carries when there losing. as we all know there o-line ain't what it used to be.
