Should I take Hightower or Perry?

Question

Which one should I get? I know perry is starting now but I have Edgerrin James and I'm afraid Hightower is going to take away goal line carries from Edge. I have a bad feeling that Edge will turn into Julius Jones this year and lose carries to a Marion Barber (Hightower)

Answer 1

Yes Hightower will be getting more goal line touches, but this preseason he fumbled it twice in two games showing that he might not be to safe in that position.  Carson Palmer will need to hand it off more with Chad Johnson "Ocho Cinco" playing hurt and will give Perry carries.

Edge wont turn into Julius Jones because "JJ" wasnt as good as Edgerrin James... EVER.

Perry seems like the better pick with the starting job now.

Answer 2

Chris Perry is the starter for Cinci @ RB.  He is going to be seeing alot of action with Rudi out of the picture, TJ still injured, Chad (Ocho Psycho) injured.  Hightower is questionable about how much action he'll see.

Answer 3

Take Perry.  He's assured the playing time and he looked outstanding in preseason.  Perry will be better than edge even if edge gets 100% of his teams carries.

Answer 4

Perry is a no brainer.  Take the starting RB every time.  What are you going to do if you get Hightower?  Play him and Edge at the same time?  Play him over Edge?  Some handcuffs are extremely neccesary.  Not this one.

Answer 5

Chris Perry. He looks hungry, and ready. Johnson's gone, and Kenny Watson gets older as we speak.
