Chris Johnson or Lamar Miller?

Right now I'm hearing a lot of hype for Miller as people are expecting big things out of him but Johnson is just a few seasons away and a new OL from being a #1 RB. Johnson's going 25th and Miller 30th in yahoo mock drafts so it's a toss up. What's your thoughts?

CJ1.5K. I do believe Greene will snipe a few TDs

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

I do have CJ rated way above Miller. But Miller could be the better back.

I think many owners keep hoping that CJ repeats and has another 2K season. But how many chances do we give him? After the last couple of seasons, he's beginning to convince me that maybe the 2K season was a fluke. And maybe he's nothing more than a 1300 season back - not too shabby mind you.

Depends what kind of chances you're willing to take? Do you need another solid outing of 1300 yards? Then CJ is your guy.

Me personally, I'm hoping someone else grabs CJ to make the decision for me. But if he's on the board when it's my turn to pick, I'll take him.

We've seen the floor for CJ1K and it's pretty high. The ceiling for the two looks about the same - actually CJ1K's is probably higher. So higher floor, higher ceiling... easy decision.

This is my problem, I've had him the last two seasons and by into the hype and then he disappoints. Granted he was being picked in the top 10 the last couple seasons and this one he's down in the 20's for most mocks but after two strikeouts I'm hesitant to swing again.

Also if you're doing an auction keeper with $115 budget, how high would you spend for him?

safe pick is CJ... but if you want Miller, you should get him...

I'd go with the guy that raced a Cheetah.

I'm avoiding both to be totally honest. CJ blames everything on everyone else instead of trying to improve, and his QB and O-line, though better, still suck.
And I'm not buying into a new and improved Miami offense..at least not all that new and improved.
If they are there when the time cone to grab a RB3..sure..but don't want either as a 2. Gun to my head though..I'd wait the extravro7nd and grab Miller.

Problem is they are the best 2 RB's available in a keeper league, or you go with rookies like Ball and Bell; I've got Richardson and CJ (paid $30 for him last year and not going to waste that much salary on him this year)

So theyll both be taken first round...gotcha..no advantage in "waiting a round"...hmmm...that was the decision maker for me..so without that, I'd go CJ. Sorry, guess I didn't fully read or understand the situation

Sorry, it's an auction keeper league, wanted to also know what people would pay for CJ and Miller and they'll be a little overinflated in mine as they're the two best available

I am loving my Doug Martin/Chris Johnson duo for 2013.

That was my combo going into last year but got Richardson and Johnson instead, spent $30 for Johnson and Martin went late for $20, wish I would have passed on CJ now!
