Fantasy RB Question

[jpdex12]

I hear some good opinions from you Zoners so I was wondering with my first choice if both RB's are still on the board, who would you guys pick first to fill the RB position in the first round...LaDainian or Willis?
I know LT's got a proven track record, but I got a feeling that Willis is gonna dominate this year. He had just shy of 1200 yards this past season and missed 5 legitimate games. I can't help that I'm a little biased either.
So who would you guys pick first between the two?

LT is a sure thing. The skies the limit w/ Willis however. I'm almost sure he'll get more carries this year because of Losman's lack experience however, Losman's scrambling ability could hurt Willis' nos. in the passing game. One things almost certain , Willis has the ability to punch the ball in in goal line situations.

I would still go for LT only because WM is in a tough divsion that has awsome D's. The fins may be questionable against the run, but Saban is a proven defensive guru. Just like GW turned the redskins D into the top of the league in 1 season, Saban could do the same.

Re: Fantasy RB Question

Not even close!! Until Willis can prove himself theres no way he goes ahead of LT. I know WM has alot going on right now, but LT has been a legit star with stats to back him up.

Re: Fantasy RB Question

also don't forget that we have no O-line- that's going to hold Willis back. Go with LT.

Re: Fantasy RB Question

Gotta go LT. He's SD's top weapon, defenses key on him, and he still puts up monster numbers. Plus he's the top receiving RB too.

You must be in a league with no Bill's fans if you think that you can grab both. I am trying not to be biased with my pick but with Willis having a big year last year with 1100+ yards in 11 games, with a suspect line last year, I am very tempted to grab him.

Even though we had a suspect line last year? He still had 1100+ yards and 13 TD's in only 11 games. You can't really count the games that he got in last year for the first 5 games up to the Baltimore game. Plus he said that he wasn't 100% last year. They claim that he has his burst back and 100% this year so far.
It's a tough call, but I think this post has a ratio of 6-1 in favor of LT so far. LT would be hard to pass up with his record.

Yes indeed, LT is a fantasy stud but Willis is not to far behind maybe another year or so...

Re: Fantasy RB Question

A bunch of guys in my league are Bills fans and we have been arguing over this. LT is the obvious pick, but i have the same feeling about Willis. I really think Willis is capable of rackin up 1,800 this year (assuming no injuries). You also cant deny Willis' nose for the endzone. Whichever Bills fan in my league drafts first will go for Willis, even if it was the first pick overall. Willis is NASTY!

Re: Fantasy RB Question

I would definitley take LT. He has shown that he is great year in and year out. Willis has to prove this year that the 2004 season just wasn't a fluke.

just so you know.. LT had an aweful oline for his entire time at san diego.

but due to receptions, LT is a sure pick.. there are at least 4 other RBs i take before willis as well.

Until your OL is settle, particular LT, I'd take LT...his OL is still together and he's good behind them, no recent to see him falling off now...he's starting to enter his prime.

Re: Fantasy RB Question

I agree with taking LT also...but if LT were gone, there aren't too many RBs I'd pick over Willis.
