Which one of you said that Charles would suck last year?

i never said he would suck.

I said Thomas Jones would get more carries, and he did.

Well I'm gonna keep Charles and Greene. I have Brady, Bowe, and Gates that I'll also keep. It's a lot of keepers, but it's fun bc it makes you hav to really look ahead.

I rode Charles to a championship, so not me. Doesn't change the fact that he still scored 100 points less than Foster.

I think LE always said be wary of Thomas Jones stealing carries from Charles.

Not too bad.

I would've tried to land Charles and a WR maybe. Gates' injury history is worrisome.

Do you see Foster repeating those numbers this year?

ive always maintained him as a talented back. Just not sure he is an every down back.

and im still skeptical about him holding a 6.0 YPC. At one point those big plays are held in check. And if he has the same amount of carries and his YPC drop, he is prob closer to 15 than top 5.

I could see him closer to his 2009 #'s than his 2010 #s

Forgot about Welker. It's a six man keeper league. Welker and Brady are money in a PPR league.

6 ypc is a tough act to follow. He'll still be a top 10 back though.

That's tough. You almost have to take the under, but he's capable of getting those numbers.

I say way under, but i agree, he is capable of those numbers. I think he would need closer to 300 carries to reach that though.

which will be hard given his size and Thomas Jones

If he gets those numbers, I'll be ecstatic.
