Ray Rice over Chris Johnson? Crazy talk? - Page 2

Jim Jones · 08-26-2011, 02:07 PM

I've got the No. 3 pick in a big money draft tonight...almost 100% sure Foster and Peterson go 1 and 2...3rd spot I'm in a bit of a pickle. CJ seems like the obvious choice but I'm worried about his holdout and workload over the last couple years, combined with Titans having no passing game to speak of.

Would it be completely insane to take Ray Rice over him?

I'm drafting 3rd in one league. The two guys ahead of me are by-the-book players who will likely go in order of the rankings. That meant Ray Rice was as good as mine, which I was pleased as punch about. Unfortunately Arian's going out of the mix. I may have to reach on McCoy/Charles now.

I'm at #4 and Peterson/Foster are guaranteed to go #1/#2. I'm trying to play as many mind games as possible with the guy at #3. I keep texting him that he better not draft Charles.

I got him in an auction for less than Foster (out for 3-4 weeks), Rice (who I admit is a stud), Charles, Peterson, Mendenhall, and $2 less than Gore. Seriously. ****ing value pick.

Chris Johnson this year reminds me a lot of the year Larry Johnson held out

Year 1: Both have ridiculous year YPC wise
Year 2: Both get force fed the ball... YPC drops
Year 3: Both holdout through camp..LJ plays in 8 games disappointment. I feel thats coming for CJ this year

Chris Johnson's body can not take the amount of carriers they are giving him, it will catch up with him

take Jamaal Charles or Tom Brady IMO

Ray Rice. He has Leach to make those huge gaps. Essentially Arian Foster did so well because of Leach. He will still do well, but not as well.

RB's like Ray Rice and Jamal Charles will be more valuable. In my league, all TD's are 6 points so I always go for a big time QB. I have found I can piece together a RB core that is serviceable enough to win games.
