What's up fellas I'm having my fantasy draft tomorrow and I'm having a dilemma on picking either rice or turner, I don't know what pick I have yet but those are the two upper-mid round backs that are gonna go quick in my league. What do you guys think, who would you choose and why? Thanks for the feedback.
Rice. No more McGahee to steal TDs and he is involved in the passing game. I think Turner only had 12 catches last year. Also, it looks like the Falcons might pass more this season so touches will be taken away from the Burner.
With Rashard Jennings being out for year MJD all of a sudden has jumped ahead of those guys imo when were talking RB's after AP, Foster, Charles.
I'm curious why? Did Rashard Jennings improve the health/uncertainty of MJD's knee? Now I do think that MJD has been falling too far down but I would still take Rice ahead of him. Better offense, line, team, and health.
Rice without question especially in PPR formats. Turners volume of carries is due to wear him down. I agree with Fin-o on MJD as well. While I wouldnt put him ahead of Rice, he had 1300 yards last year with Jennings swiping carries. Now there is no Jennings and Deji Karim is no threat. MJD is another great back to have in PPR formats especially.
The Jaguars dont look like they are panicking to find a big insurance policy, Jennings stole alot of touches from MJD so imo if he plays 16 games he will end up with HUGE #'s.....ofcourse it could be my own wishfull thinking.
Rice - with the subtraction of McGahee (TD siphon) and addition of Vontae Leach (helped Arian Foster to #1 last year) Rice is poised to have a huge year. Turner will get lots of looks, but I worry about how long he will last as heavy as the Falcons use him.
