quikpoor 0 Posted August 25, 2008 We had our draft a couple weeks ago and I ended up with Manning as my first pick, and S.Jackson as my second (concerns about his holdout caused him to slip). Now that Jackson has signed, I am being offered Addai for him. I am a big Colts fan, so it's hard for me to say no; but I am also concerned about the bye week and Manning's knee. What do you think? 1/10 yards 6 pt. TD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foghorn Leghorn 0 Posted August 26, 2008 I've never been a fan of having the QB/RB combo. That would require both the running and passing game to be clicking. Indy's strength has always been exploiting defensive weaknesses one way or the other - either running through their opponent, or frying them through the air. But not both in the same game. Though I may be biased as S. Jax is my keeper.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy's strength has always been exploiting defensive weaknesses one way or the other - either running through their opponent, or frying them through the air. But not both in the same game. Great analysis. Then throw in the fact that SJax is simply the better back. SJax easy.

pixel_monkey 0 Posted August 26, 2008 Pound for pound, SJax is the better back. But, Addai has by far the better offense to play within. I think SJax will have a tough year with a terrible Rams offense around him. On the other hand, how much does Manning's health affect the running game for the Colts? Will it allow opposing defenses to key in on the run a little better? Not for sure. If it were me, I would probably take my chances with Addai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdibella 0 Posted August 26, 2008 Don't do it. I would not recommend a QB/RB combo on a fantasy team. Steven Jackson is the better back and you got a steal. Stick with it. Mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=320265 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbit 0 Posted August 26, 2008 Stick with SJax. While I like Addai, he will likely put up similar numbers to SJax and I am not a fan of the QB/RB combo. Besides the bye week, they have a bad game and your team is missing some big players. Plus, Indy plays the 2nd toughest schedule this year, they may have more than just one bad game.

haveyouheard 0 Posted August 26, 2008 i love the qb/wr double dip, but would shy away from the qb/rb combo -- too many eggs in one basket, even if it is the colts' basket. anyone would be thrilled to start a fantasy squad with peyton and sjax. help here?: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=320131 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
