1PT/10 RUSH
1PT/25 PASS
-2 /INT

"08 FINAL POINTS
Manning - 325 pts
Forte 300 pts

In a PPR league both Forte and MJD are top 5 players and should not be passed up. You can't really go wrong with either but I would lean towards MJD because he's the more proven commodity and should have the biggest workload of his career with Fred Taylor out of the picture.

Technicaly I have Forte ahead right now but I think M&B is right. I think MJD may be the correct choice.

I would go with MJD. His ceiling is #1 RB in the NFL. I don't see the same for Forte.

Keep MJD for sure, he's a TD beast, only got 50 pts less as a back up(next year a starter for sure)as you pointed out and didn't have Forte's workload. ;-D

QB

Yeah, MJD is the choice here because he's produced more consistently than Forte. Both are great PPR options, but MJD is more proven, so I'd keep him... ;-D

I don't think you can go wrong with either Forte or MJD... but I like Forte a hair better personally.

I really don't see that much difference...
I mean lets compare:

Forte: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8821
Jones-Drew: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7809

Their hair doesn't look that much different, so why you like Forte's hair that much more then Jones-Drew... that's just silly!

Oh... as far as a keepers... you have to keep Jones-Drew... only 214 less carries in 2 more years... and proven with possible upside. Keep Jones...

but, don't pick him cause of his hair... it's not THAT much better!

The other side of my brain would like to apologize for the above and we promise not to let him type any more!

Forte 316 carries and 300 points
MJD 197 carries and 250 points

look for MJD to get ATLEAST 250 carries this year with out Taylor and watch him turn into the number 1 RB in PPR leagues

I agree with all the MJD hype - I think with Taylor out of town, that MJD will top Forte's numbers next year. Since they're pretty darned equal in the PPR dept, I think you have to go with MoJo ;-D
