Take Taylor for sure, he's a stud.
Out of the remaining backs, I would narrow it down to either Henry, Brown, or Jones. The Eagle's are ignoring Westbrook in the redzone almost entirely and I think he will be hard pressed to put up large TD numbers this year, eliminate him.
As of right now, I really like how the Titan's are utilizing Brown and his ability to make big plays happen in addition to carrying the load for the Titan. Select Brown if your league adds points for long TDs, or 100 yard games.
Henry is a proven performer who will probably continue to post his usual 1200+yard/10 TD season, but a lot of those TDs will come in a few games. The Bill's have some serious question marks on offense and I think they may have trouble getting a lot of scoring drives put together in some games this year. Select Henry in a standard scoring league.
Thomas Jones looks like a changed man this year and the Bear's seem intent on getting him the ball in all aspects of the offense, especially in the redzone. But how often will the Bear's see the opponent's end of the field? So far Jones has produced well, but I think the Bear's are still one of the least attractive teams in the NFL for fantasy purposes. Select Jones in a point per reception league.
