or

PPR or no? If it's PPR, definitely group 2. If not, I think I still like 2. Even though Jones is obviously worth more than Buchhalter given a healthy Westbrook, I wouldn't really want to be starting him most weeks, and I like Slaton a lot better. CJ's a beast, but it still seems like White's going to continue to take some of his carries.

 

You might be taking more of a chance with group 2 due to uncertainty with Westy's health, but I like Westy+Slaton better than CJ+Slaton, and Buckhalter's still a good play if Westbrook misses more time.

Group 2 has a lot more potential with Westy hopefully coming back to his stud form. Although Thomas Jones has been playing out of his mind as late I do not think he is as good as he has been playing lately which is making me lean toward group 2.

so someone is offering you westy/buckhalter for CJ and TJ? I'd probably prefer group 2, assuming you start 2 RBs. As mentioned if its PPR then definitely group2.

the trade is : i give chris johnson and thomas jones for westy and buckhalter

 

non ppr 10 team league. standard scoring. i am 5-2 but i am having to guess who start each week. got the guess wrong the 2 weeks i lost. thanks for the input so far

 

 

anybody else????

[dalie 2]

Group 2, I like the Westy/Buck combo for stability......if one doesn't start, the other should still do well

 

Thanks for mine

Group 2 is the better option.

[G-String 0]

A. But you should drop Buckhalter now

[Wallyworld 0]

I'd go with group 2. Westbrook should be ok after a few weeks.

 

Thanks for mine. Sorry for getting back to you late.

Group 2, especially in PPR

[btbpitt71 1]

group 2 definitely

Group 2 west comes back form his bye! So he had time to heal .

Gotta agree group 2 is stronger. Because of the balance you probably won't need both Philly rbs, so use bucky NOW to trade for any area you're week. If you are strong all over, keep it (group 2) as is.

Am I the only one who sees this the other way?!?

 

You may have a tough decision to make each week with Group 1, but trading to make your decision easier is only helping the team that you are trading with. Having to choose between more RBs seems better to me than having to choose between a shorter list. And we all know that Buckhalter/Westbrook is essentially one player - you won't play both.

 

Between, CJ, Slaton, TJ, and JStewart, you have 4 decent options from which you can choose 2. IF Westbrook is healthy, you then pick your second from Slaton, JStewart, & Hightower... and Benson. And we assume that if the ball is going to Buckhalter, you're probably, but not definitely, starting him.

 

Remember - Westbrook broke two ribs! The man hasn't healed in two weeks, I promise.

 

Call me crazy, but I'd rather have the tougher decision with healthier players, leaving you with more depth, and KEEPING that depth from landing in your opponent's hands. ESPECIALLY if you have a flex spot, but even without.

 

Just my two cents.

Sorry about my tardiness - thanks for your response to mine!

 

I wish I could add something more to what has already been stated a number of times, but as long as Westy comes back to original form, you want to have him on your team. Chris Johnson just seems a little on the small side, and I think you will see more of Lenwhale as the season progresses.

well this may not be the answer your looking for but....I think both groups are good. I think you realize this as well....what it comes down to is a line up that is easier to set each week without regretting someone on your bench going off.....but I think you will have an easier time setting your line up each week with group 2. But they both are good groups of backs. I guess also group 2 removes the chris johnson and Lenwhale problem as well....Which group has the best playoff matchups?

[gram 0]

thanks guys!! a lot of good advice...i was just about to do it until attack asked about the matchups. westbrook's matchups for the rest of the season are absolutely horrible for the rest of the season...including the playoffs

 

here are our playoff:

westy: nyg and cle

 

cj:cle and houston

tj: sf and buf

 

man i like chris johnson playoff schedule. the one question is...does strength in schedule effect westbrook?

 

 

any more thoughts...i will probably put this last question by its self. thanks again for all your help.
