    If you had to make a choice between having one or the other on your fantasy football team, which would you choose and why? I need to know quickly for a Louisville league that I play in. [​IMG]

    While your at it, tell me this. Who would you pick between Drew Bennett, Jerry Porter or Michael Jenkins?

    Take Jamal Lewis. Shanahan can never decide on a RB. It looked like Tatum Bell was the sure fire starter after putting up great game after great game and then he suddenly went back to Mike Bell. He's too erratic with his RB starter to warrant having a Denver RB as your starting back. Lewis will get the most carries and I still believe he's got something left in the tank. He just came off a 100 yard game and it appears Billick calling the plays might work out better for him.

    Jamal is the man in Baltimore and is carrying the ball alot now, compared to Bell who might start sharing with the other Bell. Plus Cincinnati has problems stopping the run so that's an extra plus for Lewis.

    The other question, Michael Jenkins IF Michael Vick does his thing like he has for two weeks already.

    Porter just getting his chance this season with Moss drawing the double teams could work out too.

    Jamal is the primary RB in Baltimore. Go w/ him.

    I can't believe, Dale, you are going with someone dependent on the indisputable one? Crumpler is R Mexico's fave target. Porter appears to be the best bet of those listed.

    I'm afraid of Porter because he's in the Oakland doghouse. Even Marcus Allen couldn't overcome that until he left town. Michael Vick is the reason that I didn't snatch Jenkins right off the wire. How long until Vick comes returns to his usual form? It's a tough call.

    I did keep Jamal Lewis.

    Here is my roster-
    QB - P. Manning
    Favre
    Roethlisberger

    RB - R. Bush
    L. Washington
    Droughns
    J. Lewis

    WR - L. Coles
    Driver
    Jenkins

    TE - Winslow
    McMichael

    Pk - Wilkens
    Tynes

    Def - Panthers
    Vikings

    I drafted 9th and the first 8 picks were RBs, so I picked P. Manning because I felt I needed one guy who could score big. When I drafted coming back, Portis and R. Bush were the only two legit choices that I had and I was afraid of Portis because of his seperated shoulder. So, I have a crappy running back core. This team is started 1-5, but I've gotten back to 3-5 and I'm going to shoot for a wild card. I keep trying to tweak here and there, but have limited choices. Jerry Porter is still out there. Mewelde Moore and Justin Fargas are probably the best RBs available. Bleech.

    It's not a great lineup, but considering where I drafted, I did what I could. When the first eight picks are running backs, what do you do? I couldn't take players that had already been drafted, so I picked the one guy who can light things up. Not taking Portis may have been a mistake, but everyone was scared of his shoulder. I'm okay at QB. Driver and Coles aren't bad WRs. I'm fine at TE and KR. The Panthers and Vikings aren't the Bears, but they aren't bad. I guess I should have picked better WRs earlier, but I was afraid of not even having RBs that were getting playing time.
