Help me choose 2 out of 4 RBS in a ppr league

In a PPR league (1 pt)

 

I have TWO flex positions to fill and need help figuring this out since I've been wavering between all 4 RBs:

 

Laurence Maroney (vs. KC)

- I'm a fan of Maroney's talent but will he get the touches? Playing weak KC DEF so should perform IF given the opportunity.

Earnest Graham (@ NO)

- Will get his touches so I'm liking him for 1 of 2 spots.

Chris Perry (@ BAL)

- I sort of have a man-crush on Perry...especially in PPR league. I'm thinking about a 60/40 split between him and Watson.

DeAngelo Wiliams (@ SD)

- Another timeshare but you have to be impressed with his preseason performance.

 

My other RBs i'm starting are

RB1 LaDainian Tomlinson

RB2 Maurice Jones-Drew

 

Thanks in advance for your input!

I would definitely play Maroney. Anyone for them is likely to score and he is going to get most of the carries without Faulk. As for the other spot, I'm leaning towards Perry but it's close between all 3.

Thanks! I like Perry too in a PPR.

 

But you like him more than Graham?

Maroney and Graham, and it's not close in my opinion. Both are #1 on the depth chart and guaranteed touches. Sure, there is some risk of Dunn and Jordan getting a look here and there, but Maroney and Graham will get the lion's share of the touches. I think Perry will be in a close split situation with Watson, and Williams is in a definite time share situation.

In a ppr I like graham (should get a td) and perry (should get 4 or 5 rec)..

Grahm or Perry. I hate Maroney. He is wortless untill the end of the season! Too many weapons in N.E. to choose him this early. Wait till he proves himself!

I just think KC will be punting alot and giving NE good field position all day. More chances to score means the game gets out of hand early. The pats will simply try and run out the clock,so Maroney should see more touches. He had 7 games last year with at least 14 carries at 4,5 ypc. He had around 20 carries twice vs the jets and vs Buff. Teams with bad D's. Also had 100 yds in 2/3 of those games.

 

Graham is a guy you have to simply ask yopurself a simple question about:

If you don't start Graham and he has a good game, was there a good amount of evidence which suggest you should have started him over the other options? That's what I ask myself. New Orleans has ranked 14th,23rd, 27th,30th and 29th the past 5 years in run defense.

So keep that in mind.

 

THAT is the stat you needed to know to make this decision.

Maroney and Graham.

 

With an explanation.

Graham #1 option then Perry/Maroney...

 

I lean towards Maroney but that's just my gut.

Hey, thanks for answering mine.....

 

Now for yours: I know people are down on Maroney and you do get PPR but because he's now the starter will Perry be getting the same amount of receptions as he would were he the 3rd down/relief back that he usually is? I think Kenny Watson will get those kinds of receptions. I'd go with Maroney and Graham. Graham is a no brainer, I'd even have him ahead of MJD.

Graham jumps out at me out of that bunch. Start him for sure. Then, I like Perry over Maroney. Maybe it's because Maroney burned me last year. I just don't trust the Pats will give him enough carries.

 

Thanks for mine

I go Maroney and Graham....

 

Baltimore still has solid run D and SD may not be sold on Delhomme's injury return so they could try and stuff the run.

Another vote for Maroney and Graham

[Tommy Boy 0]

Thanks for all the responses!

 

This is the tally so far:

Maroney: 7

Graham: 8

Perry: 5

 

Still not a clear cut answer. Looks like a game-time decision between Maroney and Perry.
