Ball or Bernard, PPR better pick??

[TREFF]

Well my electability for Bernard take a very small hit. But I wouldn't have touched him over Ball to begin with. However, I'm still not letting him get by me in rd2

Ruh-roh...

The Rotoworld blurb makes this decision even more academic than it was before. The people on the Bernard side of this fence are flat wrong.

I think Bernard will be better than he was last year, but Hill severely limits his upside.

I'm not even sure about the first part.

Bernard will see a lot more carries this season. I'll say 250 carries and 50 receptions. 10 TD's.

Sounds like you're lowering your goals a bit for Gio - but I envy you being a Bengals fan; should be a pretty amazing year.

Burkhead is injured and out. BJGE has already made the team, bro. They have nobody else.

Gio v Bernard will be an interesting watch this season.

I'm sure. And I'm also sure I know better than you.

Looks like the non-Bengal fans saw this one coming a mile away.

Gio v. Ball, obviously. I may have been drunk...

Hill has looked great this pre-season. They let BJGE go because he can't play ST. He'll get picked up by somebody.

Gio is the better back but Ball has the better offense.

I favor the guy that plays in the more explosive offense, when talent is fairly close as it is here.

First few weeks definitely favor Gio and kramer1. I was pretty much right about Gio and Hill's usage, but Gio's getting better yardage than I expected. Hill is making a dent in Gio's touches but that attack is so good it hardly matters. Props to kramer.

Meanwhile Ball has been underwhelming so far - against tough Ds, yes, but we all knew what the schedule was coming in.

 

[kramer1]

Gio had 1200 yards and 8 td's last season as a rookie (combined).

1700 yards and 12 td's seems reasonable this season.

Will Ball top that? And if so, by how much? You'll most certainly have to take Ball a lot higher in any draft because of who he plays for and with.

Gio is the much better selection.

Pretty much this.

Thanks, sir. It wasn't a homer prediction, either. I'm no homer.
