DeSean at $6 or Barber at $19?

Postby BALCO All-Stars » Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:29 am

12 teams, $150 cap, 0-2 keepers. QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/FLEX (any type of player)/K/DEF

I am keeping Kevin Smith at $9 ($4 last year plus $5 keeper cost) but I'm torn between keeping Barber at $19 or Jackson at $6. I'm leaning towards Barber cuz I can fill my backfield for only $28 (although I won't have a true #1 RB) but most mid tier RB's in our league go in the low to mid $20s or should I go with Jackson at $6?

Keep Barber. I think that he is going to be a stud this year and splitting with Felix and Choice will be a good thing. It will keep him fresh. Also, he is going to get all the goal line carries. I expect a 12-15 TD season for Barber.

Keep Barber, and then if you need buy another RB, low #1, high #2.........I would want a third RB.....but In my auction we do $140 and I usually spend 90+ on RB's.........If you buy another and have K smith as your #3 your looking solid.......Then get yourself a good WR and your in business......

Good Luck!!

I have been using yahoo's rankings this year and they have Barber the 13th best RB

http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/nfl/new ... l-pre09-rb

im pretty sure he was ranked in the top 10 at this time last year and im not sure why he fell so much this year, it is crazy I mean I drafted Steve Slaton over Barber in 1 league so far and I didn't even know who Slaton was at this point last year.

So what are your thoughts on the yahoo RB rankings because I am so confused drafting that position this year and those are the rankings I have been looking at and relying on.
