Half point per reception league.

My arguments for/against Foster: Catches the ball out of the backfield. Lost his fullback. Ben Tate is looking great so he might take away some carries.

My arguments for/against Peterson: He's a beast. Consistent. Vikings starting to throw more towards the receivers. Singletary will F him up somehow someway.

Foster and it isn't even close. If CJ was in camp and all that you'd have an argument there. I'd actually go Foster then Rice in a PPR league. Though only .5 per recption I may still take Peterson #2.

Tate does look good, no doubt. But he will only take Ward's carries.

I always assume that RBs that have huge years will not be the same the next year. Especially if they are physical RBs. It's just too tough on your body to pound out that many tough yards two years in a row.

AP has been pretty consistent though. So if I had the first pick that's who I'd take.

I don't play PPR, though, so maybe it's different....

Jamaal Charles. Does it all. Monster in the receiving game as well as rushing.

He'd be #1 in all formats if his coach wasn't insane.

yeah I had him last year. However AP and Foster both put up more points than him. If Charles didn't have Thomas Jones behind him it would be a different story.

definitely. i had #7 and was forced to take rodgers. wasn't too sold on mcfadden, who was one of the "top tier" running backs left.

14 teamer? If so, mind posting your roster so I can see what i'm working with.
