Should I start Selvin Young or Rashard Mendenhall or Justin Fargas?

Question

My sure starter is Ryan Grant and i have julius jones but i have a trade offer were i will get mendenhall straight up for julius who should my second starting runningback be? Selvin Young, Mendenhall, or Fargas or should i hang onto Jones and have him.

Answer 1

Start Mendenhall, he will get half the reps at least after week 1.... he is going to take willie parkers job easily... mendenhall has so much more talent then parker and young and fargas...

Answer 2

I would start Mendenhall.  He won't get 1/2 the carries, but he will get a lot of goal line looks, and with steelers offense that should be a lot of TD opportunities.

Answer 3

I wouldn't do the trade.  Hang onto Jones.  Rookies are rookies, don't know how they're going to pan out yet.

Answer 4

You are taking a huge risk by trading before you even get to see how Mendenhall looks, how Jones will do in Seattle, and who will win the starting job in Denver.

Selvin Young faces Michael Pittman, Andre Hall, and Ryan Torian in camp.

Jones could do well in Seattle, if his running style suits the blocking scheme.

Mendenhall has physical gifts, but 0 NFL carries and has a Pro Bowl back in Willie Parker as the starter.

Be patient and wait until later in the preseason.

Answer 5

I would keep Jones, but Mendenhall, fargas, young would be the order I would take.
