FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

Hey guys i need some help here


in my league i can start 3 runningbacks

so who do i start???

it's a mess.

Re: FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

Who's Maroney? I thought it was Mahoney.

It might help to know who your RBs were in order to figure out who you should start. Depending on who else you have, I might say "start 'em both".

Your conundrum is the reason I stayed away from both of those guys in my draft. If it has to be one or the other, I would go with Dillon for now. Better to stick with the known quantity - but it's really almost a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. ;)

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the poll at the top of the page. You have a very difficult, nerve wracking decision to make..!! Brown and Chester could have monster days - or give you nothing at all :D

Re: FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

Theres a poll.

I have Corey Dillon, Laurence Maroney, Chester Taylor, Ronnie Brown, Lamont Jordan, Joseph Addai.

I can start 3.

Re: FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

Ronnie Brown, Chester Taylor and Maroney.

Re: FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

Brown, Dillon, Taylor

Guaranteed or your money back

Right now its a landslide 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0...

I always go with clear starters vs. backs that split carries. With dual RB you run the risk of the other getting hot in a game and getting most the carries. Or one RB getting good yards then the other getting the receptions and TD's. If I had Maroney and Dillon I'd wait until one has a huge game, trade him because his stock will be high then keep the other as a backup.

well yah, that and the raiders o seems to be my biggest problems.

however, im thrilled it appears the pats will split carries, I've been a huge supporter of that since the season started.

Dillon is way to valuable to not give him 10-20 carries a game.

Re: FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

Agreed in real life, not fantasy football


WRONG!!! If Dillons gets 2 ypc in the first quarter, while Maroney is getting 4-5 ypc then Dillon only gets 5-10 touches in the game. These two are interchangable they aren't separate role RB's. I love both these guys but they are terrible fantasy options unless they are your backups or you're desperate.

Re: FAntasy Help Please... (maroney, dillon, etc)
 

When i said he was too valuable to not give him 10-20 carries ii was referring to his performance against the bills and not fantasy football.

He looked like the dillon in 2004 who ran people over and always fell forward.

I like him in there more than Maroney.
