I have D Ward as an option in my keeper league but is Cadillac legit. Myother RBs are
westbrook CBenson C Taylor L McCoy T Hightower:headscratch:

Just because Caddy is back on the road again doesn't mean he isn't still prone to re-injure those knees again. I'm thrilled to see his back on the green, but in a keeper league I'd be skeptical about re-injury potential.

During a long-distance sprint towards the red zone on Sunday he could only be stopped by a fierce downward jersey pull and my first thought was "oh no! not the knees" and it's only week 1.

D Ward may have moved down a seat to make room for Caddy, but that doesn't mean Caddy comes with a money-back guarantee.

As you can see I am weak at RB I need a week 2 Starter besides westbrook, would he be a better option than what I already have??

Hightower and Benson (and Caddy for that matter) turned in performances with higher fantasy points than Caddy this week, in both PPR and non-PPR formats. Caddy was ranked near Ward and Westbrook a little further down.

Derrick may be a back up, but he's going to continue to accelerate at his position. I'm sorry I benched him in my PPR league. He was a big scorer for me and would have taken the pressure off me going into MNF.

Hightower and Benson are #1 RB's that deserve consideration. I would start either one of them in a heart beat. Caddy is a good pick up and also worth the nod (for as long as he stays healthy), but I wouldn't drop Ward just to get him due to the injury factor.

Benson is a legit starting RB without challenge and a very nice #2....START HIM.

Hightower is a sweet #3.

Listen to RZR and let someone else buy the used Caddy. Ward will be the man when the Caddy has a flat.

yeah, let's not get too crazy for Caddy, as many have stated here, he's too injury riddled for me to drop Ward for him.

Right now, he's easily the #1 back here in town. The coaching staff has been talking him up all camp and lets face it, when he's healthy, he's our best RB, hands down. Like Miller said though, watch out! He can so easily be down that you don't want to bank on him.

This whole discussion is much easier in the context of a ppr league. In that context I take ward without a doubt. TD only leagues could sway me to Caddy. My conservative naturesays Ward is the guy to keep.

My problem with the whole PPR thing is that I only think it applies if Leftwich is NOT the QB. Leftwich cannot throw anything with touch. We saw Ward open at least 3 times and he got over thrown by Lefty.
