Jonathan Stewart or Deangelo Williams.

Good question. The better question is which one has better value. That is J-Stew. Williams is currently going in the 1st round. Which is an over valuation for me.

Plus on top of that. Stewart will probably get more goaline touches.

You're right, value is key when talking about [i]Double Trouble[/i]. As good as Williams is, part of me has felt Stewart is even better. Not only is Stewart 4 years younger than Williams but with this being DeAngelo's contract year, I can see the Panthers giving Stewart more touches in anticipation he'll be their RB of the future.

Pretty happy I got him at the end of Round 3 in the draft last night.

It's was a steal for a 1000+ yard back. I passed on him for Knowshon "Ouch My Hammy" Moreno I think.

Yep. I just hope his Achilles holds up.

You should be because if I wasn't such a bonehead and made the draft time he would of been on my team haha! I still can't believe the CPU took McCoy there.

Let's get the fantasy chatter going with a little question and answer. List two players who are of equal value in each of the following categories WR, RB , (QB or TE).

Who would you rather draft and why:
WR: Derrick Mason or Pierre Garcon
RB: LeSean McCoy or Shonn Greene
QB: Chad Henne or Matt Cassell

Answer and ask three more.
[/quote]
WR: Derrick Mason. Joe's favorite target so far in his career and probably the second best receiving option behind Boldin (unless Rice gets a lot of dump passes again...). Garcon, however is the third or fourth best option for Manning behind Wayne, Clark, and maybe Gonzalez if he can come back from his knee injury.

RB: Close call. I'd probably go McCoy. Greene is the better back, but McCoy last year was used much like Westbrook, catching passes and getting handoffs. You'd have to think the Eagles will try to run the ball a little more this year, too with a young Kevin Kolb. FB Leonard Weaver may take a few carries away from mcCoy per game but pending an injury to LT will be far less carries than LT will be taking away from Greene.

QB: Henne. He now has a better set of receivers to work with. Cassell got rocked last year from poor offensive line play, and Bowe was a nightmare fantasy option in 2009. The Dolphins also keep the box stacked due to a great running game, so all signs point to Henne.

Also, my RB's to look for late are as follows:

1) J. Charles- He'll go pretty early, but his stock takes a hit with Thomas Jones now in KC. Still look out for him though...he was money for me down the stretch last year and brought me back from a 37 point deficit single-handedly in my championship game. He was on pace with the best last year once KC got rid of L. Johnson.

2) J. Stewart- All you need to do is look at the games he started when D-Will couldn't go...enough said.

3) C.J. Spiller- Barring injury will be the featured back in the Bills offense. Normally, I would NEVER suggest a Bills player as being fantasy relevant, but they're saying he looks like a game-changer.

4) D. McFadden- If he stays healthy, he's looking at a year with a better O-Line...and an improving Raiders squad.

5) Felix Jones- The guy came into camp with added bulk (weighing more than Marion Barber), sending a message that he wants to be the starting RB. The guy is a playmaker for sure, but be cautious about him splitting too many carries with Barber and Choice.

6) Leon Washington or Justin Forsett- Both guys are sleeper backs for Seattle. Pick up whichever one is the starter, but be cautious, as they may split carries. Justin Forsett was money when J. Jones was out last year...a key FA pickup on my way to my Rookie success.

Hope this helped someone.

Jerome Harrison or Arian Foster?

If you think about it, they are both in similar situations besides the great passing game in Houston. Both have rookies that might steal their thunder (Hardesty and Tate) and both have big backs behind them that might take 3rd down and goaline duties (Hardesty and Slaton).

Harrison because (sensing the explosion) I started the other RB that the Browns started week 14 in the week 15 game vs. KC where Jerome exploded with 286 yards and 3 TDs...I won my league, but I made a big mistake there. He had good numbers in weeks 16 and 17, too.

Edit: What is Slaton's status after being placed on IR? If he cuts down on his fumbles, Foster may become irrelevant.

Slaton is on the IR!! Ben tate just suffered a knee injury. I like Harrison but I just have to start Foster. (I have both)

But now the question is do I start Harrison or Thomas Jones?

Well, you odn't have to be mean about it...I asked what his status was after being placed on IR. I didn't know whether he was still there or not. Other than Andre Johnson, Daniels, and Schaub, I could care less about the Texans.

I still like Harrison, simply because TJ has to deal with Jamaal Charles, who I think should start ahead of Jones. He was money for me down the stretch last year.

I think he thought you said Slaton possibly going to be on the IR. So he got freaked out by it. He wasn't being mean.

But you were asking about how he is doing from coming off the IR last year.

He's doing great though from what I've heard. Sound like he will be out on most passing downs. But now with Tate out, he might get a chance to carry some more. We'll have to see if the neck holds up, there really hasn't been any setbacks yet.

I figured it was somehting like that, but I wasn't sure.

That's good to hear. I hope he can recover from his slump lat year...he had such a great rookie year.

I've Loved Slaton ever since he was in WVU. Back in the Pat White/Steve Slaton days he was simply beautiful at RB, I knew he was goin to beast it in the pros.

This is probably the only year I want to see him be beaten by Foster.
