| If I had to choose Shonn Greene or Bilal Powell (Posted on 10/3/12 at 6:43 pm)
Who would you take? I have Powell as my 5th RB, but somebody just released Greene. Who has the better year from here on out?

Stick with Powell. Upside is there, and Greene isn't even a good bye week filler with the way he's producing.

I've been holding on to Bilal. I think he will eventually take over. Greene just flat out sucks. Sadly, Jets as a whole suck also, so both may be worthless until Sanchez gets a passing game together.

Powell got nearly twice as many touches, so I would roll with him. I guess the good news is that you are almost never using either of them though.

I'd say if you absolutely needed someone soon maybe Greene, but since you're talking about your 5th RB I'd stick with Powell and his upside.

1-4 are Ridley, Turner, Bradshaw, and Leshoure. It's a PPR league, so I usually start 2 and put a WR in the flex. I might need #5 to start one day because Bradshaw is fragile like china, Leshoure is meh, and Belichick is a dick with his RBs.

Twice as many touches what? They both suck. The team sucks. Your team will suck if you are forced to start them.

I meant plays, not touches. My bad. It was 33-18 in favor of Powell, but yeah, I would never start either unless everybody was on bye (like me in week 7).

They also lost 34-0. Total plays could be skewed I own both on 2 teams and hate myself for it

10-team league? Doesn't matter. Team in disarray. Would hate to rely on either. Both are playing. It's a crap shoot whether either will ever score another TD. Probably better to spend time decding which defense to play next week.
