Brees or Steven Jackson? WHIR

Postby SpaceDyeVest » Sat Aug 22, 2009 5:26 pm

I have the third pick in the keeper, my keepers are Chris Johnson and Marion Barber (lose my 2nd and 14th pick) and here are my options, 10 team, non PPR:

Trade my third pick for Brees and get:
QB:Drew Brees
RB:Marion Barber
RB:Chris Johnson

Or keep the third pick and go:
RB:Steven Jackson
RB:Chris Johnson
RB:Marion Barber

(I know the first two going are Adrian and Slaton)

Stacked RB corps or two solid backs and a great QB?

If I didn't go with Brees I would probably snag Romo.

This is a tough one considering what Jackson could be and what he has been. I like Brees in your situation because of the other 2 running backs you already have. I am not sure what kind of QB's would be available in a league like this anyways. I think Brees has a better year than Jackson.

I guess basically it would boil down this kidn of a scenario would I be better with this kind of a line up:

QB:Drew Brees
RB:Chris Johnson
RB:Marion Barber
RB:Julius Jones

or

QB:Tony Romo
RB:Chris Johnson
RB:Marion Barber
RB:Steven Jackson

It would probably end up being a wash, it's just really tempting to get a stacked RB corps but Drew Brees would be nice to have.

What are the starting roster requirements? 2 RB,2 WR, flex or 2rb 3wr? Also you didn't indicate how much passing TDs are worth (4pts or 6pts?)

I like the romo/sjax over brees/jjones if there is a flex spot.

I can start up to 3 RBs, 1 QB, 3 WRs and a TE. TDs are 6.

I don't think Steven Jackson has the supporting cast to be successful this year. The Rams haven't looked good at all in Preseason, while Brees has looked great. I would take Brees and grab a guy like Pierre Thomas.

Since you can start three RBs go with Jackson and grab Romo later.
A win next week and all is forgotten.

Conventional wisdom would say that if you can start three backs, take Jackson. I would probably take Brees, but I have a tendency to go big. It doesn't always work.

Speaking of which...help with mine?
