What running back should i pick up in free agency???

Question

De Angelo Williams

Chester Taylor

Ahman Green

Justin Fargas

Kenny Watson

Duece McAllister (wow 3 knee injuries)

Chris Brown

Chris Johnson

Travis Henry

Warrick Dunn

Jerious Norwood

Shaun Alexander

Leon Washington

Kolby Smith

Dominic Rhodes

Michael Bush

thanks for any help, im leaning towards Chester Taylor just in case AP gets hurt, but if he doesnt i wasted a roster spot.

Answer 1

Kevin Jones!!!

Answer 2

Chester Taylor. He's way better than people give him credit for cause hes in APs shadow.

Answer 3

Well, it would help to know what kind of league you have.

-Does your league reward for return yards?  (Leon Washington is a stud.)

-Is this a Point per Reception league?  (PPR) (Favors guys who catch more passes)

Each of these guys has flaws.  DeAngelo Williams will fight for Carolina's starting job with Jonathan Stewart.  We don't know yet who will get the start, and who could be a TD vulture.

Kolby Smith was a servicebale replacement in Larry Johnson's absence.

Taylor gets carries if and when AP goes down.

I would still keep an eye on Ahman Green.  Houston's zone blocking scheme is perfect for him, if could ever get healthy.

Williams

Smith

Taylor

Green

It's all a c**p shoot, but I feel as though they are at least 1) employed, 2) not buried deep on a depth chart, and 3) on teams with some semblance of hope for their running games.

Also, keep tabs on Kevin Jones.  He's apparently recovered from surgery, and worked out for Green Bay, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Miami.

There is a rumor he might sign with Tampa.

Answer 4

I would go with Fargas first and then Chester.

Answer 5

I don't know that much about Kevin Jones yet.  I would research him.  Fargas looked awesome in the games he started last year.  On most teams in the NFL he would be their starter.  That's who I'm leanin towards.
