Which Rookie RBs?

Postby Renshaw » Tue Aug 04, 2009 11:40 pm

In a dynasty league. We're in the process of our re-draft and I have a few openings. I could use some solid RB help, and this would be the best chance to do it.

Knowshon Moreno and Chris Wells have been picked and the others I'm looking at are:

LeSean McCoy
Shonn Greene
Andre Brown
Donald Brown
Chris Brown

Others in FA:
Fred Jackson
Correll Buckhalter
LaMont Jordan
DeShawn Wynn
T.J. Duckett

And any other rookie RB you can think of. Only Moreno and Wells are taken. I think I'm leaning towards Donald Brown or McCoy, simply because they'll be in line to takeover for their respective teams, though Fred Jackson is tempting with Lynch suspended to start the season.

So, which is the better pick?

Currently I have Jones-Drew, Portis, Hightower, Torain and Brandon Jackson.

SIDE NOTE:
Is Amani Toomer worth holding onto with White/S. Moss/V. Jackson/Colston/Engram as WR already on my team?

I'd rank them:

Donald Brown
McCoy
Greene
Andre Brown
Chris Brown

I'd probably take fred jackson ahead of andre brown and chris brown.

i don't see much reason to hold on to toomer when you have 5 WRs who you would start ahead of him.

good luck.

McCoy

Well the two that jump out to me are McCoy, Green and Brown. I like McCoy because he is going into a quality offense, which is filled with some good young wr's, a rebuilt o-line and still has McNabb. I would say in another year or so, when Westy is all done he can step right in and take over. Green has a chance to take over completely next year, this is the last year of T. Jones contract, he can learn the system this year and be the main man next year. Brown is the one that I have questions about. They drafted him #1, still have Addai, can they afford to keep them both, will it be a rbbc, not sure what Indy will do here. So I would rank them for your dynasty league as McCoy, Brown then Green. Good luck.

Thanks for the input. I've got the 10th pick so I'm really just waiting trying to get my picks in line. So far, Moreno, Harvin, Wells, Donald Brown and Pettigrew have all been taken, so I'm hoping McCoy or Greene falls to me at 10. If not, I could also go the route of a rookie WR (Crabtree, Robiskie) or a QB (Stafford, Sanchez). Not that I need to at either position, but if I can't get McCoy or Greene, I don't think I should reach for Jackson or the other Browns...

Ok, so Crabtree, Greene and McCoy were all taken. Its my pick, who is the better pick for me right now?

Brian Robiskie
Hakeem Nicks
Andre Brown
Chris Brown
Fred Jackson
Visanthe Shiancoe
Matthew Stafford
Mark Sanchez

Those are probably the players I'm currently looking at.

Stafford if you need a QB.

Nicks if you don't need a QB.

If Ray Rice is available, pick him. He's 2 years younger than Greene and he's in line to start immediately.
