Lorenzo Booker or Correll Buckhalter??

Question

In my fantsay league I have Brian Westbrook as my number #1 running back. People have said that I should pick up Booker as a backup in case westbrook gets hurt. I thought that Buckhalter was his backup. Am I wrong???

Who is Brian westbrooks backup Lorenzo Booker or Correll Buckhalter?

Answer 1

The depth chart is not solidified yet.  Westbrook is in a contract dispute for that matter.

The Eagles specifically traded for Booker, and he has more upside.  The stated intent of that trade was to reduce wear and tear on Westbrook.

If you are looking for a handcuff, I would favor the younger, more athletic Booker.

We've seen what Buckhalter can do, and he's just not a major force in a fantasy context.

This is a situation that won't be resolved until late in the preseason.

Answer 2

If I were you, I would look for another solid RB in case Westbrook goes down, not his backup.  His backups include:

Buckhalter, Booker, Hunt, Moats, etc.

There is no solid #2 guy on the team...possibly buckhalter.

Answer 3

Booker is built like Westie.  He plays very much like Westie.  Many sources I have read say the handcuff should be Booker.  I am in the same boat but both are available.  I am going to wait and see.

Answer 4

Correll Buckhalter is Brian Westbrook's backup, and Lorenzo booker is Buckhalter's backup, so get Buckhalter.
