Which RB is the best choice for my 3rd String?

Question

3rd String / Bye Week Running Backs are slim in our league. I've got Adrian Peterson and Thomas Jones starting...who should I pick up for number 3?

Justin Fargas (concerned about the McFadden effect here)

Ahman Green (concerned about the injury prospect here)

Deuce McAllister (how them knees doing?)

Ricky Williams (Looks good in camp)

Lamont Jordan (Will he see enough playing time)

Ray Rice (Same...playing time after McGahee is back?)

Answer 1

I would rank them in this order:

1) Fargas- should be at least getting half the carries this year on a solid running team.  McFadden will get touches but Fargas has not done anything to lose the job yet.

2) McAllister- all reports are he is good to go and Bush is no threat to take the main share of carries.  Has come back from injuries quickly before.

3) Ricky Williams- even though Ronnie is the main back here, they say the injury he is coming back from is one that takes almost two years to fully recover from.  He could tweak the injury are start out ineffect, which would allow Ricky to get more playing time.

4) Ray Rice- love his potential if Willis misses time, should still see a lot of third down work

5) Ahman Green- will be hurt by week 3, Chris Brown fits their offense better.  This guy is a perenial bust who will let you down when you need him to fill in.

6) Lamont Jordan- will be competing with Maroney, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, and Heath Evans for touches.....not looking good at all and will be lucky to make team.

Answer 2

I'd go Ahman Green because I assume he's the starter there and he'll only split carries with Chris Brown if he doesn't play well. He will get more touches than the other Rbs on the board. He's a reliable 3rd string RB and should give you the depth you need.

Answer 3

I would go with Ahman Green..He is the only one as of now who has a starting spot
