I have to dump one

Who should I keep on my roster?

M. Lynch
L. White

My two starting RBs have a bye week at weeks 4 and 9. White has his bye week at 7 and Lynch has is bye week on 9, and his first game back would be 4. So it scares me to keep Lynch but thats what I would prefer. If I kept Lynch I would HAVE to start him week 4 and I would HAVE to start Beanie Wells week 9. White could play both bye weeks and still have the option to play Wells in week 9. Trades in our league are hard to come by b/c the roster limits are full on most teams and nobody wants to make a move.

Help me please!

I would keep White. He will get lots of carries, and be the td back in the Red zone. He has the bye you need. Lynch will be back, but the Offense for Buffalo looks awful...and even when he comes back I think they still use Fred Jackson...so Lynch will get less carries.

Also, he is one stupid mistake away from a year long ban.

I would keep White.

I'm with Phicinfan.

You're looking for a bye week replacement not a starting back.

White will put up numbers every week, though potentially sparse.

With Lynch it's feast or famine. (will he even play week 4?)

I'll take the dependable points. Goose eggs are a killer.

I would not drop a featured back like Lynch for a non-starter on the short end of an RBBC. Lynch will be the starter from week 4 on and he'll put up solid RB2 numbers from that point on IMO, assuming he stays healthy.

:nono:
First, White is not a non-starter. If you were to look real closely, he got as many if not more carries than C.J. Now, that is to change somewhat...but C.J. isn't built to take that many carries...and Tenn. knows it. My ONLY concern for White is Ringer. But I think Ringer takes over next year...not this.

As for Lynch...yes he was a featured back. However, Buffalo is mightily ticked at him for his stupidity. Oh, and they just dumped money on Jackson. Have they extended Lynch? Nope. OH, and he is ONE act of stupidity away from a year ban.

My point is you get as much if not more production from White..than Lynch. Add to that an offense going more no-huddle to take advantage of Owens, Evans and the rookie Te....and you got less carries for Lynch.

CJ had over 50 more carries and 40 more receptions than White last year and I only see that gap widening this year. As for Fred Jackson, I'm not buying into the idea that he'll steal very many carries from Lynch once he comes back. There's no doubt in my mind that Lynch will get more opportunities than White will and if this happens to be a PPR league then it just makes the outlook on Lynch that much better.

This is all just my opinion and anything could happen as the season wears on but if I'm having to make this decision right now, its a no brainer.
