You guys choose your goal line back based on the stats.Steelersfan wrote:According to Kent Babb on Twitter, Jamaal Charles is still the main back in Kansas City despite the Chiefs' recent signing of Thomas Jones.
Our View: Charles is expected to split carries with Jones 65-35, which should help him to stay fresh throughout the year. Last season he was all alone in the backfield and was apparently on fumes when the season drew to a close. Charles should still have fantasy value, but if Jones vultures his goal-line touches his worth will drop like a stone. Fanball
Player A
5'10/212 pounds
14 TD's in 2009
13 TD's in 2008
OR
Player B
5'11/199 pounds
7 TD's in 2009
As a bonus:
Player A rushed for 1452 yards in 2009 and 1312 yards in 2008.
Player B rushed for 1120 in 2009 and basically achieved a bulk of those yards from week 10 on.
Regarding touches and opportunity which equals Fantasy Value.
When Charles became the full time starter in week 10, he averaged over those games approx 20 carries a game and over the last four, 25 carries. With TJ now in the backfield, expect 15 carries a game.
The above two factors, loss of goal line carries and reduced touches equals one thing in my opinion.
