I still can't decide this. I'm keeping either Forte or MJD. It's a one keeper league 12 team, standard rules except for PPR.
They are both great receiving running backs, and every ranking has them somewhere around 3/4 4/5 etc....
I know whomever I don't keep will end up going in the first pick which makes this decision so friggen difficult... I can hope that I win the draft lottery and get my guy back, but I don't know what to do.
I think keeping Jones-Drew would be the best idea here. Looks like with Cutler in Chicago, the running game may be cut back some. Both great backs, but I think I like MJD as the choice here.
I'll take the slightly younger, more experienced in the top-back role, and the bigger, more durable option.... Forte. Granted, I don't envy you at all for having to make this decision but Forte is my pick the more I mull over it.
I cast my vote for MJD. The little cannonball has a full time role with a relatively easy schedule. Jacksonville made some good upgrades to their line and Holt at receiver will take a little pressure off.
You can't go wrong with Forte either. They will throw more with Cutler, but Forte will be the recepient of some of those extra passes too. Orlando Pace is another positive, and the Bears schedule is pretty solid too.
The more I wrote for Forte, I think I will switch my vote. Go with Forte!!
What an absolutely WONDERFUL dilema to have. Flip a coin, you cant go wrong. Both will have a ton of receptions, both will eclipse 1300 total yds, Forte may have more total yds, MJD will have more TD's. The 10- 20 pts that seperate them in the final RB rankings would not likely cost you a playoff spot or Superbowl. If someone pointed a gun at my head and forced me to choose i would take Forte right now......but again...there is no wrong decision and an argument can be made for either.
Mojo has been a touchdown machine... and with Fred Taylor gone he'll get even more carries than he has in the past. Chicago will probably have more of a passing game this year with Cutler and Hester developing. Go with Mojo.

I disagree with the above statement. I believe Forte will be just as effective, if not more so. IIRC, he was the bears leading reciever last year (as a bears fan I can say, our recievers suck!).
My statement was that with Cutler, the Bears will be throwing a little more this year. That means fewer rushing touches for Forte. He may well see receiving touches, but what I was saying was that the rushing game probably would be impacted by Cutler.
