rb help

[packfancjh]

I need some help for my #2 rb slot. My three choices are Rashad Jennings, Reggie Bush and Chris Ivory. What do you all think?

 

[TREFF]

I say Bush

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Jennings. Bush is going against a better defense, is part of a rbbc, and I don't think he's as good as Jennings. He has better big play ability, but I think Jennings can be more consistent.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Me too. Don't like any Giants yet and Ivory won't see the field much in GB, assuming the Jets fall behind.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Bush is going against Carolina, which is worse for Bell than it is for Bush. Not as much room on the ground. They'll need Reggie's routes.

 

[packfancjh]

I thought Jennings but he's going against a stout Cards D. GB proved last Thurs that their run D is still a weak link so I left Ivory as an option.

There are defenses that are bad against the run, and then there are defenses that will let Chris ivory run all over them. I think GB is bad against the run, but Chris ivory won't do the damage. If he's called upon,mi doubt he can do damage. There's a pretty size able gap in talent between lynch and ivory.

PPR or standard

ppr i say jennings

actually still say jennings, bush had like 1ypc and was only on the field 40% of the snaps

 

[ehb5]

I'd go with Bush

 

[packfancjh]

Just saw that Bush is dealing with a knee injury so I'm prob going to stick with Jennings. thanks all

 

[SteelersPride]

bush was horrible and used sparingly in week 1........

 

[packfancjh]

DAMN! My #1 starting back AP is deactivated for Sunday. Now I'm left with Jennings, Ivory and Bush to choose from for both slots. SHIT!!!!!

 

[averagejoe]

I might go Ivory and Jennings. I see the Pack beating up on the Jets in the home opener in Lambeau, but Rex Ryan is notoriously stubborn with the run. And the Pack did rank 31st in week 1 vs the run.

You may want to pick up Matt Asiata too if you have room on your bench (and if you have an IR spot that you can move AP into).

idk, still would rather go mckinnon than asiata... But thats me reading the future... I agree asiata will be the number one, but i would be surprised if it is not a RB by committee, and Mckinnon is more likely to make the BIG plays...

 

[averagejoe]

Milk, I wouldn't recommend starting any Vikes RB, but they could be worth stashing on your bench if you have the room, and then gauge their value after you see what happens Sunday.

Oh, i wouldnt recommend starting them either... i just think mckinnon is the better stash right now(even in a redraft).... the way i see it, again if peterson is out then there will be a RB by committee, and Mckinnon is the big play maker of the 2... and if peterson does come back, then they would have more use for the playmaker than the replacement back...

 

[broncosmitty]

Doesn't McKinnon have have one career carry?

And was a DII QB?

As to the OP, Id lean towards Ivory. Little concerned that Bush is now more of a receiver, less or a carrier. There are a lot of other receiving options on his team. So many that they can't all be active every week.

 

[averagejoe]

Milk, I would agree. But even if McKinnon does end up as the RB1 at season's end... well, there aren't many players that can run like AP.

true, but he doesnt have to be... Just wait until the bye weeks start and his value may skyrocket... assuming the worst in peterson and that i am correct about mckinnon(i know thats a lot to assume)....
