Rhodes or Barber

I currently have rhodes, but it seems like Indy is siding more with Addai.

I saw that Marion Barber had a decent game the other night, but I also know that Julius is there, though it seems that the Tuna likes Barber a bit more.

Any advice, should I drop Rhodes for Barber, or stand pat?

We have a high-scoring 8 team league, my other running backs are Jamal Lewis, Shaun Alexander, Ahman Green, and Willie Parker. I know that's a bit stacked, but Lewis and Green are question marks due to prior seasons, and I'm also thinking about injuries and bye weeks.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I felt the same, but not sure I want to drop any of the other guys I have, such as Horn and Booker.

Rhodes has a legitmate shot at taking the starting role, and he will definitely split carries. Barber plays almost the exact game that Julius does and will split carries, but he probably won't start unless Julius goes down (which will probably happen at some point). Basically, you have to have Barber if your a Julius Jones owner. If your not, take rhodes and monitor Dallas's situation. Post your lineup and I would help more .

I say sticik with Rhodes as well.. You'll probably get the most consistency out of Rhodes throughout the year.

Thanks, again. I think I'll stick with him as well, especially with Green not looking to bad tonight, Lewis should regain his form, and Carson's looking great. Love my team this year!

Barber is just not going to get enough carries. Even if Julius Jones got injured again, it is likely Tyson Thompson would get more carries, and maybe some more inside runs to Polite... Barber will do well, but he is not going to carry the bulk of the load, neither is anyone else on the Cowboys.

Definately stick with Rhodes. Once the season starts Barber isn't gonna do a whole hell of a lot with Jones in town.

Addai is starting to look overrated to start the year off. I wasn't impressed in the least anyways. DeAngelo Williams is the best rookie RB I have seen yet with Reggie Bush right and I mean right behind him.

I'd stick with Rhodes.

i'd go with marion barber III. julius jones is injury prone and isnt a "parcells guy" if you saw barber last year you saw what he can do.
