Who do y'all think will wind up the starter in Miami? Ajaji or foster?

And in tn, can Murray hold of Henry?

And where would you pick them?

I don't think the starter role in Miami is a big deal. They both will likely split carries.

Murray will start for Tennessee but Henry is the guy who will produce down the stretch.

I agree about Henry. He's too big and powerful to keep on the bench. Where would you take him?

Neither one are battles. Arian foster is the man as long as he is healthy. Murray has been impressive so far in camp;however, the Titans will make an attempt to get Henry involved.

He went pretty late in the regulars draft. I think as preseason goes on his value will increase. Still wouldn't take him before the 9th.

You don't think ajaji, or whatever his name is could get the start? Year ahead in the system, started to look good last year, and foster is a little old.

RBBC, in PPR Arian would hold the most value to me, but he's a soft tissue injury away from another shelf season. Ajayi has really done nothing to warrant the attention he's received except opportunity, which took a hit when MIA signed Foster. 3.6ypc rookie, unimpressive enough off-season for MIA to sign Foster.

Tenn will be interesting. In that system that will try to run the ball 40+ times per game even down 35-7, both could have value. IMO Henry is going to suffer from rookie stuff, not proven pass-catcher, pass-blocking. D.Murray also has his stuff, he could be on his last legs for a regular season campaign.

In PPR:
- Murray 4-6th round depending on your trust
- Henry 9th+ round
- Ajayi whenever, he'll be way gone before I consider
- Foster 7th+ round

other RB battles out there:

Bengals (game flow dependent I guess)
Eagles (Matthews gets hurt and Sproles is old)
Chargers(more of a daily fantasy type of gold mine play)

Broncos (who really knows there)? Hot hand most likely cause QB's will most likely suck/not be a real factor

Tampa Bay (game flow)

why limit the thread to only 2 teams?? Plenty of wild assumptions/guesses are floating out there. Me?? I have no idea but I hate picking RB's whether it be in DFS or season long leagues.

Seattle
New England
Denver
Tampa
San Diego
Tennessee
Miami
Cincinnati
Cleveland
Giants
Jacksonville
Arizona
Dallas



All these teams either have 2 backs that could play any down or these teams have 1 back that is primarily 1st and 2nd down with someone else handling 3 TD down or they have several Rbs that could result in RBBC.

Broncos is never a one rb system. I'll get the starter off waivers week 4.

I think Mathews will be a good fantasy rb early on. Maybe draft and trade. I have a feeling the Eagles are going to be bad.

Gordon did nothing for me last year. Probably rotating backfield

Seattle - Rawls
New England - white for majority snaps, won't run the ball though
Denver- anderson to start
Tampa - Martin
San Diego - who gives a shite
Tennessee - I'm leaving towards Henry down the stretch
Miami - healthy back. Williams is a pretty good back also. They have a lot of depth there.
Cincinnati- split backs
Cleveland - Crowell and duke . Not sure, probably won't touch.
Giants - Jennings,
Jacksonville - ivory or yeldon, not sure on this one
Arizona- Johnson is best option, Chris Johnson a late rounder
Dallas - Morris will be the more productive back but they will be forced to play the rookie

Kubiak usually is. Last year Anderson was hurt and if you look at the end of last year there was no committee

SD force fed Gordon all year, even when he wasn't producing much. I'll be surprised if they don't do the same this year.

Gordon couldn't hold on to the ball last year. Maybe this year his ol will be better. Maybe just another wisc rb bust

Murray and Henery will be like 60/40 Murray if I had to guess. Henry should get the goal line work.

In the situation in Miami, I think it comes down to value. There will be people who will likely overvalue Foster simply because he is Foster, but Miami will not have a featured back as long as Foster is healthy. Miami isn't going to risk making him the primary back because of his risk of injury. If you can get Ajaji at a good value then get him.

The Murray & Henry situation in Tennessee will be interesting to see, but right now I have to think they will be used similar to how the Bengals use Hill & Bernard.

I would pick none of them. Ajayi will probably start because of Foster's injuries. Murray blew last year but will be better because he will get more carries but still, neh

I think if Foster can stay healthy he will become the bell clow. I think you gotta be patient with Henry and he will eventually become a very serviceable starter. Could actually explode on the scene once he gets the touches
