Title: Another?? Dunn or Rudi Johnson??
Post by Chumpzilla on Nov 16^th, 2003, 10:23am

Another question... Which player will give me the most offense: rushing yards, receiving yards, receptions, and TD's?

I am leaning towards Dunn vs. New Orleans. Thoughts?

If KC gets a big lead, Rudi may be taken out of the game because of the need to go to the pass to catch up. Dillon or no Dillon is not the biggest factor. Rudi could also have a big game, because KC can be run on. That's the gamble with Rudi this week.

Dunn should at least guarantee you something, they've learned they HAVE to use him to stand a chance. He faces a tough D, though.

I'd say your choice is between a boom or bust with Rudi and at least SOME guaranteed points for Dunn. Does the rest of your roster give you room to gamble, or do you have to play it safe just to pull out the game, stay in the playoff hunt, etc.

Thanks for the quick response! My other starting RB's are Edge and Pittman. My choices for #3 ar Rudi, Dunn, James Jackson, Eddie George, Bryson, and Westbrook.

My receivers are pretty solid (with Moss/Owens #1 and #2), so I'd probably lean toward the back that could get me the most rushing yds, best yds/carry, or rushing TD's. If all else is equal on a back regarding rushing, I would lean toward the one that would catch the most balls.

Chump--

I would consider James Jackson or Eddie George vs Dunn. George should at least get TD's. Jackson should also be a solid play against the Cards. I actually favor both of them over Dunn. But, as you know, it is a crap shoot.

Right, I'm with DD on this. I would probably order those three that he discusses: James Jackson, Eddie George, Warrick Dunn.
