DD vs. Westy

Recommended Posts

Basic scoring system in a ppr league. Who has more value? I personally think DD is the better back in this type of a league, but his knee "issues" are a little worrying. I also know that Westy gains a lot of ground on many backs in a ppr league. Just thought I'd throw out a couple of backs that might be closely ranked in this type of league and get some opinions.

 

Also, any news on DD's knee? TIA

Until Davis' knee stops swelling under any kind of stress, the answer has to be Westy...

In a PPR, Westbrook's the choice even if DD is healthy.

:pointstosky:

70+ rec's guaranteed. 1500+ total yds., 10 TDs.

oh, and that's just in 14 games...

 

 

here's a tip:

PHI Offense > HOU Offense...

I'm not so sure....lets compare:

 

2005

Davis 11 games 1313 combined yds 6 tds

Westy 12 games 1233 combined yds 7 tds

 

2004

Davis 15 games 1776 combined yds 14 tds

Westy 13 games 1515 combined yds 9 tds

 

2003

Davis 14 games 1382 combined yds 8 tds (rookie season)

Westy 15 games 945 combined yds 11 tds

 

combined last 3 years:

Davis 40 games 4471 combined yds 28 tds

Westy 40 games 3693 combined yds 27 tds

 

Those stats are with Houston having quite possibly the worst offensive line in the league. Now with Kubiak there implementing Denver's system, Davis will put up even better numbers. And for those who say Davis is an injury risk....Westbrook has never played a full season either.

 

Houston wouldn't have passed on Reggie Bush if they were worried about Davis' knee or overall health. My pick is Davis to have a big year.

I unloaded Jerry Porter for Dom Davis in my keeper league and I'm glad to see someone else has the common sense to look at the numbers. I think Davis is the obvious choice here and has clearly outperformed Westbrook. Its hard to argue with stats and facts, although there are many here who often do. Once Houston starts using the Denver scheme (cut blocks and all), Davis over Westbrook - without question - end of discussion

Someone accepted Jerry Porter for Dom Davis in a Keeper League ? :thumbsup:

I continue to say this.. DD is the probably the best PPR RB not named LT. Both have injury concerns though and only LT, Edge, Tiki or Jordan would be better options in that format. Keep an eye open for Ronnie Brown and Caddilac this year though... both could be PPR gold mines.
