Backup RBs for fantasy team?

Question

My running backs are Frank Gore, Chris Perry, Matt Forte, Chester Taylor and Brandon Jackson. I'm planning on starting Gore & Forte week 1.

Would you start Perry over Forte? And should I consider dropping Brandon Jackson to acquire Jacob Hester or Ryan Torain off waivers?

Answer 1

I think Perry is going to find more openings than Forte.  Chicago has no quarterback skill and lines will stop any and all run attempts, whereas Cincinatti has a great pass oriented offense and most defenders will flock towards Chad Ocho Cinco, TJ Housh, and Chris Henry, leaving Perry wide open.  Start Perry all day long.

Answer 2

I am a Perry fan......he was so good the Bengals booted Rudi out of town....Perry will be a popular option for Carson and is an excellent runner.....

Forte is unproven, but has upside.....give him a week or two before his start in my opinion...Colts are tough against the run and the Bears passsing game wont fool anyone

Answer 3

Start Perry and don't drop jackson only a fool would drop him for one of those guys

Answer 4

Forte all day!
