I'd take a pass. I agree that I wouldn't want to sweat it out with Portis as my #1 from week to week. Lynch is going to be serving a suspension for the first 3 games, and Ward, while being given a chance as a starter, is more unknown as a starter. Wells is nice to have on your roster as a potential starter later on in the season.

I wouldn't do this if I were you. Though Gore has the potential to get dinged up from time to time, he runs like a truck going downhill and I really think he's going to have a good year with a new OC that wants to establish the run. I think with the possibility for Wells to excell as the primary carrier, and for Brown to cut into Addai's numbers you have a solid RB core. Lynch wasn't that impressive last year to begin with (I owned him in a league then) and Ward is an unproven commodity at this point. It sounds more like he and Graham will split time too.

I have to agree, Gore is a beast and can handle the insane workload he will be carrying this year. Stand pat.

I'd stick with what you have for now, I'm not sold on Ward yet for the season, they have a crowded backfield in TB and he may still split carries there as well. Good luck.
