He's going to get 300-330 touches and the Jets are the best at running the ball in the redzone. Green is going to get atleast 12 rushing touchdowns and id say he has a ceiling of 17 TDs. Mendenhall may get more touches because hes a better reciever, but his ceiling for TDs is not as high as green's IMO.

I expect Green to have a few multiple TD games and those are the type of performances that can ruin your opponent's Sunday.

I think Green could have a 2008-2009 Michael Turner season as far as TDs go. If you went up against Michael Turner that year you remember what it felt like to watch him rush for 2 TDs, 3 TDs, and even 4 in one game. Devastating. You just knew if the Falcons got inside the 10 Turner was going to finish off the drive with a TD. Green has the power, the athleticism, and the offensive line to be as devastating in the redzone.

I'd have him on my radar too. Thing is it's very likely he'll be there on the way back. (And he's probably who I would take on the way back.) Whereas someone like Wayne or Austin might not be. I guess if the other guy you planned on getting at 14 was there too then it doesn't matter.

I actually have him ranked as 6th overall. I'm pretty high on him. If he's there when I'm picking in the mid to late first round then I'm taking him. Don't want to gamble and lose him to someone who values him as a legit RB1 like I do.

Yeah I gotcha. I've talked to most people in my league and I think they are all scared of LT and unsure of Greene. If I have the 8th pick or so, I still think I'll wait and hopefully grab him on the way back.
