last keeper? greene or forsett? WHIR

[sha]

The rest of my keepers are pretty clear-cut, but the last spot seems a bit cloudy to me. It'll be interesting to see how shonn greene produces in the playoff game(s), and to see what happens to Thomas Jones's contract. but if you had to choose today based on talent, ability and situation who do you keep? This league happens to be TD heavy with no ppr. my other keeper option is jay cutler, but with the year he had i am not too excited to keep him, or should i? 16 team league btw...

I'd keep Greene over Forsett.

Definitely Greene for me. Jets o-line is very solid and Greene has shown some skills.

If you are going for the win next year, Forsett. I think Greene will definitely be better in the long run though once Thomas Jones is gone.

In a no PPR and TD heavy format I'd almost have to give the nod to Greene. The only problem with that though is you need a few things to happen before he'll start to produce. Jones has to start feeling his age this year and start to decline enough before they make a switch...and if that doesn't happen you have a total mess because the little leprechaun is returning next year making for a crowded back field. I believe that Jones defied the odds this year and played his last productive year. You may have to be patient for Greene to start prducing though....Jones won't go quietly and Greene will still have to split with little Leon. Forsett will be a PPR stud next year....and that's not the format your playing in.

good luck

I'd keep Greene over Forsett.

HomerJay nailed it. Long-term value and your league format favor Greene. But it's possible that for the next year, opportunity favors Forsett.

Long-term, I'm thinking Greene. If you are trying to win now, Forsett.

Return the favor?

I think HomerJay said it best.... it really comes down to your league, how it scores, how many players in each position and if you are looking to win next year.

Now, keep in mind that the PC is the new coach at Seattle. He will run the ball ALOT. He WILL use Forsett the same way he used R. Bush back at USC. The problem is he will also get a #2 RB like White to get the GL carries and splitting the touches.

Help me....

Greene too good a situation here.

I agree with everyone, Greene is the choice. However, i disagree with the assessment that Forestt is the short-term guy and Greene is long-term. Seattle just might draft a RB with one of their two first-round draft picks. There are also rumors that new Seahawk HC Pete Carroll might make a play for his ex-USC hero Reggie Bush if the Saints cut him rather than pay $8 million in salary to Bush in 2010.

And while we speculate about players getting cut, remember that Thomas Jones will be 32 when next season starts, and that the Jets will have to pay him a $3 million bonus in March, or have to cut him. Jones will make $2.8 million in salary in 2010. If the Jets cut Jones they will save $5.9 million in cap space. (source: http://www.nyjetscap.com/thomasjones.html)

All you have to do is look and see what Greene has done for the Jets the past two playoff games to see that Jones is expendable.

So, Greene could be the right-now guy and Forsett could be in a RBBC next year.

Either way Greene is the guy to keep. The Jets traded up in the 3rd round of the 2009 NFL Draft and they couldn't believe he was there. They have a great young offensive line and a run-heavy offense. Greene's immediate future could see him with 20 TD's.

As a footnote, Homerjay mentioned Leon Washington as a problem for Greene. Little Leon broke his leg in two places and is a free agent. There's no guarantee Washington is back with the Jets either.
