James White vs. Chris Thompson

[NY CAT]

Which one is the better PPR back to own going forward.

White is behind D. Lewis who is often injured.

Thompson is behind an unproven Morris who has fumbling issues.

Are they of equal value?

Who is has the edge?

Thank you

Thompson is behind Jones in Washington, not Morris. These are both end of bench type guys so go with who you feel most comfortable with. Neither are players you can start but Thompson has the shortest path to playing plus is a pass catcher. Washington will bring in a vet or rookie soon and NE has about 5 RB to use any given week, even added Brown this week. There are probably better flyers on the waiver wire or rookies over these two guys.

I disagree with half of this, I just dropped white to pick up Thompson. Thompson was on the field last year when it was Alf as the starter, Matt jones in there as well, he played as the pass catching back adn got a few carriers here and there. He definitely has the shortest path to get more touches. White wont see the field unless Lewis goes down. I own lewis, and white doesnt get carriers, he catches passes but with the addition of bennet and hogan Id rather have the 3rd option in an offense then the 5th.

With alf gone, Thompson will see the field alot more. Last year when Matt jones was killing it, and they were playing in a shootout, or playing from behind Thompson was the guy that was in there. I dont think that changes, Jones gets nicked up and that will lead to more touches. Now he is an end of the bench guy, but could easily turn into a flex in a ppr league.
