Can only keep 1. Worried about mason taking carries away from Stacy.

Ball is more talented. He plays for the Broncos, not the Rams. Ball's ceiling is so so so high. So many more reasons..

I'd be just as worried, or even more so, about Anderson taking from Ball.
but Ball is the hype, so you keep him.
After draft, if you have a change of heart, you look for the guy who grabbed Zac and work out a minor upgrade at another position for him to get Ball.
ie
Keep Ball
draft Garcon
Find guy who grabbed Zac
look at his WRs, see jordy nelson
offer him Ball/Garcon for Zac/Nelson

Zac Stacy and Montee Ball will be 5th or 6th round picks. I'd pick up Danny Woodhead if you're in PPR league around that pick. You'll be good with the reception points/

Neither are worth keeping IMO, but if I had to pick one it's Stacy

Im torn between these two as well. There are two deciding factors to watch closely in the first few preseason games.
1. Can Montee Ball pass protect? That was his achilles heel last yr. If Manning is hit multiple times a game because Ball missed his assignment, that will not bode well for his fused neck (especially supporting that gigantic frickin head of his).
2. Just how much more explosive is Tre Mason than Zac Stacy? It's a given that Mason will more than likely be the more talented overall back on the roster. There is something to say about Stacy's style though as he's one cut and go. If Mason can show the same intincts for running as Stacy does, I think he will be on the field more than everyone anticipates.
All that said, I want Ball because he will have so many goalline opportunities. If he can pass block, he will be a top 5 fantasy back. If he cant, then he will fall off of the face of the Earth.

Fantasy is all about minimizing risk and maximizing opportunity. Because of that I'd take Ball.
Just so many things in his favor...schedule (especially within the division), o-line, soft boxes, his team winning presumably giving him many chances to close a game when ahead...just to name a few.

My league has an opening. Would you like to join?

What are your other keeper options? What rounds do they count for? Scoring?

That and fumbling. He had a history of not fumbling in college, then coughed the ball up four times or something like that last year.
If you assume the fumbling was first year jitters and the pass blocking can be learned, then Ball is the one to keep.
Stacy did fine as a rookie, but Rams felt it was necessary to go after another RB pretty early in this year's draft.
Now about that post above saying these guys were 5th and 6th round picks . . .
I can only assume that the poster plays in a league of two with his/her mother.

Ball didnt fumble until his 803rd touch at Wisconsin
Last year he fumbled twice in his first 33 carries and fumbled 1 in the next 140 touches. Flukey. Not a problem.
Also, pass blocking wasn't a problem for him last season when he played. Does anyone recall him allowing Manning to be blown up? No. In fact, PFF graded him out higher in pass blocking than Moreno.
Manning has given his blessing as Ball as the starting RB. CJ Anderson? lol
Ball is gonna ball so hard this year. Top 5 RB. Pay attention people!

primary RBs who've played alongside No. 18 averaged 1,518 combined yards and 10.4 touchdowns per season, an output nearly identical to what DeMarco Murray, the eighth-best rusher in fantasy, accomplished last year. And, again, that's just the average. Ball, like Edgerrin James, Joseph Addai and Moreno before him, will see few defenders in the box. A top-five season is on the horizon.
