Fantasy football question

I have Rudi Johson, Ron Dayne and Emmitt Smith. Who is my number 2 back? I think Dayne gets the red zone touches and had a nice preseason.

Cardinals are playing the Rams and the Giants got Philly......any thoughts?

who is the better back - NOW!

ron dayne

but as for who to play - i hate to type this - but Emmitt in G1.

we know he will get touches and the AZ/Stl game figures to be more wide open than Philly/NYG.

neither are great choices - but Emmitt is the lesser of 2 evils. besides - with this being G1 emmitt could have fresh(er) legs than if this was G8, or so.

I am sure Emmitt will getthe touches, i just hope they are productive.

I will go with him, (on you Winky)

there is talk of mike cloud (recently signed) becoming the short yardage back. i would go with emmit.

All good points, but consider also that Dayne is now looking over his shoulder at Cloud and will certainly have something to prove. He had a few wee flashes of Heismanisms in the early preseason to believe he may be able to pull off a few decent runs.

Is Rudi your #1? If so, ouch.

Yes Rudi is my number one. I had picks #15 and 18. He was the top back left at number 15. I debated between him and Dillon but went with Rudi. I have McNair, Porter, Mason, Gonzelez and the Eagles at other positions. With 16 teams, noone in the league is stacked.

maybe so - but my guess is at 18 titans RB chris brown was there and coulda been had - and while that mighta been a tad too high - i'd be shocked to hear he was there when you picked again @ 47.
