Calvin/R. Brown or Slaton/Jennings?

[Minnesota Guy]

Need your advice. In a league where we award 6pts per TD and 1pt for every 10 yards rushing and receiving whould you rather have Calvin Johnson and Ronnie Brown or Steve Slaton and Jennings? We are carrying over one player from last year and my keeper is Randy Moss. Which pair would look better with Moss?

Thats tough. But I would lean toward the better RB since you aleady have a TOP WR.

I would go with Slaton/ Jennings.

Slaton is a top 10 RB and Jennings is right there with the top 5 WR's. WR's Points per game are much closer than RB's. I have not crunched the numbers for this post but I would look at Slaton vs R.Brown points and then Calvin vs Jennings. I bet its very close but Jennings and Calvin will be closer than Slaton/Brown. Ya dig? R.Williams to steal carries too. Slaton is all alone.


Another thought: Would you draft Slaton or Calvin as your #1 Draft pick? Then 2nd round pick would be Brown or Jennings. I'm a RB heavy guy so I go Slaton.

We have a winner. Calvin has a chance to be THE best in the NFL. I don't trust Slaton to be a full time NFL back and I think there is a chance that he loses carries starting with this year. Brown, even after getting burned in 2007(?) I like alot. HE is healthy and Williams numbers will not impact that much imo this year.

Calvin and Ronnie.

Calvin IS the best WR in the NFL(Noone else could get 1,300 yards and 12 TD's with the Lions). If Stafford doesn't turn out to be a bum, Calvin will be the #1 fantasy WR for the next 8 years.

I kinda think Slaton's 2008 was a fluke.

Agree 100% with this.

Calvin and ronnie...Calvin might be the best WR this year and Ronnie will be much improved.

In case you had second thoughts...Calvin and Ronnie.

C and R

I would take slaton and jennings....

The pts from last year were 409 to 382 in favor of slaton/jennings.

I also think that slaton/jennings is the much safer play....the projections for brown are all across the board for next year and although c.johnson could be the most talented wr in the game...he still plays for detroit. He caught 12 of the teams total 19 rec tds. And i don't see the lions being that much better...johnson will see doubles every game this year...and imo i can't see his numbers getting any higher.

I think that you will be ok with whichever tandem you decide on....The pts differential is only 1.6 pts a game between the two...and i would bet that it will be close to that at the end of the 09 season.
