Matt Forte or MJD?

Postby pokashark24 » Wed Jul 01, 2009 6:23 pm

I have the 3rd overall pick in a standard scoring league. (NO PPR).
I know AP and Turner will go #1 and #2 for sure. So that leaves me with MJD or Matt Forte

I like Forte because he kicked ass last season and the addition of Jay Cutler should mean less 8 man fronts.

I like MJD because he has been sooooo productive with limited carries. I'm excited about his potential as the feature back.

Who do you guys think is the best choice here? HELP ME OUT the draft is soon!

I'm a huge Forte fan but he has a limit to his stats IMO.

MJD is a MUST pick at #3. I would take him #2. He is the lone back and has huge upside. Cutler will help Forte but I don't see as many rec yards, TD's and huge plays 40+ yards in the year that MJD will have.

Just look at MJD stats last year in a time share and think of being alone now.

both are definitely great backs,that being said I'd go with MJD over Forte mainly cause I think he'll have a breakout season being the feature back and they have improved their oline from the joke it was last yr

Hard to go wrong. I'd go with the guy who has a better QB and OL.

Forte.

I have MJD ranked just ahead of Forte. But, you can't go wrong with either one.

I prefer MJD, but you should be fine with either one.
