mniemyj2 0 Posted July 18, 2013 If all of these running backs were available, who would you choose? I'm a little hesitant on all of them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted July 18, 2013 Been battling this myself with the 5 spot in the upcoming draft. I think the safest pick is Rice with his ability to stay healthy and consistency. He certainly has the highest floor, but probably the lowest ceiling of the 3. Although, I really like a healthy Charles in a new offense this year. I want to like Martin, but I need to see more games out of him before I can label him a top 5 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maroon Bells 18 Posted July 18, 2013 Who knows? This is why I like auctions. I can stay out of that high-cost area and target two 2nd-tier guys like McFadden and CJ for the price of one of those guys. Riskier players, but both have top 5 talent. So if one of them hits, I'm good. If both do, it's over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,475 Posted July 18, 2013 A case can be made for all three. Charles probably has the highest ceiling Rice is the most dependable Martin may get the most touches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flgatorguy87 160 Posted July 19, 2013 Charles Rice Martin But I'm a glutton for punishment. I can't pass on Charles. I think he has huge potential under Reid, and anybody is an up grade over Matt at QB. He might have a chance to run against a balance defense this year?

jerryskids 5,461 Posted July 19, 2013 Charles Martin Rice I think Charles has a high floor and a top-RB ceiling. I'm hesitant about Martin a little, but he'll get a ton of touches. Rice has a bit of tread on his tires and Pierce IMO will get a lot of touches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 613 Posted July 19, 2013 Martin, Rice and Charles but I could easily flip flop Charles and Rice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandalas 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Dynasty - no contest for Martin. In redraft, gotta give the nod to Charles slightly over the other 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingMN 273 Posted July 19, 2013 None of these backs are gonna kill you so you really can't go wrong. Personally, I'd flip a coin between Charles and Martin with Rice in third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mustard Lover 3 Posted July 19, 2013 This is the question of the year I think. Don't forget that in this scenario LeSean McCoy will be available there too. For me its about the safest pick there, so 1. Rice 2. Charles/McCoy 3. Martin Who knows? This is why I like auctions.

So if one of them hits, I'm good. If both do, it's over. I'm not sure you should be putting McFadden and CJ Spiller in any tier together, the rest of your league will not be doing the same.

Mustard Lover 3 Posted July 19, 2013 CJ is Chris Johnson, I think. Makes sense, so used to seeing some form of ?k after his initials. Amazing though how much of an afterthought he's become in this convo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,689 Posted July 19, 2013 Martin-had monster year, now gets 2 all-pro lineman back, easily challenges for no 1 overall Charles-should be an uptick in value, but also know how frustrating Andy Reid is Rice-I'm not touching him, too many redflags, I could see him having a good year, but I could also see him getting between 200-250 touches, which would put his ppg in the rb2/flex range Mccoy-I'd gladly take Mccoy, I think he finishes top 5 this year Spiller- see Mccoy This is why I want to draft 9th in my league, I would gladly take any of the 5 listed above, with Peterson, Foster, Richardson and Calvin filling out my top 9, I'd rather have the higher 2nd round pick to pair with any of these guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
