Gekko, Barber is a mistake at #6 IMHO...

I would hope someone ahead grabs Brady, so you can take Addai. I like Addai a lot this year.

If not, I would go with Gore. Seems risky with unproven QB, but he should be good for 1200 rushing and another 45 catches for 400 yards...will he score though? Yes, about 8-10 times.

But, I assume you already have no intentions of taking Barber, which is the reason for this post!

i was down on him earlier this summer after signing the big FAT contract, but I really don't see any other options for me. I don't like Moss or Brady at 6. Barber could be a safe pick, but I don't like his chances of finishing among the top 6 RBs.

Cut and dry here, GG. Addai or Gore.

I don't think felix jones is going to get as many touches as everyone thinks... If it has to be a RB, then Barber or Gore is the pick for sure. No way I'd take Portis that early. Barber will get more scores, Gore more receptions.

You would be a fool to pass on Barber.
One of the best offensive lines in football.
28 td's as a back up in the last two years.
Still a very young back, not 30 like many.
Addai avg 3.3 yds in the last 8 games.They just lost their best lineman Jeff Saturday.
He will get 50 or more touches more thean last year.
Dallas will be a top three offensive
And last he is the fu#king barbarian.
I should own him at 5 and 7 this weekend with out a 2nd thought.

Finished 12th last year in fantasy PPG among RBs with 200+ carries.

Prediction: touches up, TD's down = finishes right around where he did last season.

Hey Mark
I have pick 8 and would love either Barber or Gore there if Brady and Moss are gone. A lot of us bypass QB spot for later and if you go on assumption that Brady and Mosses numbers will go down. Barber is a great choice Do not think Felix will take much if anything at all away from him. Based on Boys lack of depth at WR think they will use Felix as a WR in 3rd down packages Barber is a monster back and he caught 44 paases as well. Gore might have more upside if you believe in Martz but team is not too good. Gore might be a top 4 back with receptions and JTO can move the ball Martz has already stated that V Davis might not be on a week to week basis a useful option so Gore would be focal point.
Just an opinion

Good Luck

Marty
