    Green-Ellis or Fred Jackson for Fantasy RB??

    Just finished up my draft in which you start 2 Qbs, 3 RB's, 3 WR's and 2 TE's, 1 K and 1 Def.

    This is the 1st time I play in a league where you start so many players. I ended up with Mendenhall and McFadden as 2 of my Rb's. Was wondering who will have the better season, Green-Ellis of the Patriots, who plays for a team that will probably pass more than run, or Fred Jackson of the Buffalo bills ? Both are crappy running backs but i have no other choice than Torain of the Redskins which i think sucks. I need to start a 3rd running back and need to decide on who should i start. thanks

    Any opinion and information/help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!!

    Green Ellis, yeah NE will be passing a lot but he's a versatile player and will be getting at least 10 or 15 attempts per game maybe more...

    yea i drafted Green-Ellis before I drafted Fred Jackson, but I would assume the Bills would run the ball more since their passing attack is not that good....but the Patriots are versatile and you never know if they are going to run or pass....I would think that Green ellis would give you 80 yds rushing one game and 20 yds in another game...

    Green-Ellis, he's a TD machine.

    Jackson. He seems to have the inside track on the starting job and who knows about RBs when it comes to Belichick. MIA also have a top 5 defense.

    Never take a Pats RB in fantasy. Bellicheck uses al of them, and randomly.

    Also he does not release info on who will get a majority of the carries.

    Yes, the Pats also have Woodhead which i think will share carries with Green-Ellis.....

    Freddy Jax, name a week the Pats offensive play calls aren't screwy. Buffalo's only receiving option is Steve Johnson which in return means they will pound the ball.

    Jackson no doubt!

    Drafted RB in 2nd and 3rd round, younger guys with "more talent" then BJE, good chance his production will drop of significantly.

    As much as I love "The LAW Firm", the bottom line is the Patriots have too many runningbacks. BenJarvus will get most of the goal line work, but Fred Jackson has bigger upside....way bigger.

    I'd probably go with Fred Jackson.

    Just have to worry about CJ getting hot, and stealing carries or becoming the lead back.
