Felix or Fast Willie

[marley972]

In my mock drafts it seems like these two Felix Jones and Willie Parker, keep coming up at the same time....I'm feeling both this year, but who do you think is the better draft pick and why

[RWLongy4]

Felix, he would have had a monster year last year if he didn't get injured. Willie is also dealing with losing more time from Mendenhall.

parker might be a little safer, but you can't avoid the upside of mr. jones. if he stays healthy for the whole year, i wouldn't be shocked to see 200 or so total touches between rushes and catches. and he can score the football from anywhere on the field. the cowboys want to get him more involved, and he'll have plenty of chances to do so with TO gone.

i like Jones's upside

IMO this is a no brainer, Felix Jones all the way. Just too much ceiling to ignore, and even in a timeshare, he can still conceivably do better than parker. If somehow Marion Barber got injured, then you are possibly looking at a 1st rounder.

thanks for the insight guys....so is anyone feeling Willie this year...and not in comparison to Felix, but just how will his year be

[dblj9911]

Well I think a lot depends on your league type, if it is a redraft then Parker may have more upside this year, but a keeper Jones is the better bet. Parker is in the last year of his contract and will be playing for another pay day, so he could have a decent year, but he has been banged up and hurt again in pre season. Jones was explosive last year and could have another big year, but there is also MBIII and Choice with him. So to me Parker for one year and hope he stays healthy and Jones in a keeper. Good luck.

I still like Fast Willie! He will still get the lions share of carries this year. He is a great NFL back (though not a stud fantasy back).

Felix has a lot of potential and would be the better bet in a keeper format, but I have to agree with the poster ahead of me.... Willie for this year! Lots of carries and yardage though he may not have the flashy replays on sportscenter sporadically!
