Felix Jones vs Ahmad Bradshaw

Bradshaw—not just because he's on my team, either.

I was high on him going into the season, and it paid off with a fairly good game week one. His competition, Brandon Jacobs, is slow, injury prone, and doesn't catch many passes, which are three things working heavily in Bradshaw's favor.

I avoided all Dallas backs like the plague at the draft, and week one confirms my suspicions about their uselessness fantasy wise. Other than the fact that the offense hasn't clicked at all, look at how the carries were spread out: 8 Barber, 8 Jones, 5 Choice, with all three catching a single pass. Unless one or two of them go down with injury—and history says that player will be Jones—they're all very low end fantasy options.

That's a tough one. I consider both Jones and Bradshaw to be mediocre RB options, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Jones as I believe he has more upside than Bradshaw. Sure Dallas split carries the first game between Barber and Jones, and that made sense as Jones and Barber both averaged around 4.7 yards per carry a piece so no one was really putting on a show to earn more carries than the other. All Jones needs is one big game for Dallas to start giving him the ball more ahead of Barber and I think he is capable of that. Plus, management has stated on several occasions that they would like for Jones to be their main back so the opportunity and trust is there, all he needs to do now is have a big game. just my 2 cents.
