Should I keep Chester Taylor or Marion Barber in my fantasy league

Help me out fellow Viking faithful.
Chet had a nice season last year, but he did not find the endzone to often.
Who should I keep?

Sources have said that Parcells was ready to part ways with Julius Jones in favor of Barber full-time when he left.
Who knows if that's what Jerry Jones...err....Bum Phillips...err....Wade Phillips wants to do.

You know that Chester is #1, if you have to make a decision now, then I'd go with him.

Let me take my purple glasses off for this one:

Marion
Backup RB
654 Yds Rushing/196 Recieving - 14 TD's
Dallas, ranked 5th in overall rushing

Chester
Starting RB
1214 Yds Rushing/288 Yds Recieving - 6 TD's
Minnesota, ranked 23rd in overall rushing

Marion might get more carries this year, but still is a backup.
Chester will still carry the load, should get more yards as the Zone Blocking Scheme gets better and get some more TD's and a few more longer runs.

I would stick with CT.

Purple glasses back on.
;D

Stick with Taylor just because Barber sees a diminished amount of time with Jones starting.

**BadlandsVikings** · 04-11-2007, 11:13 AM

Keep Chester Taylor.

**cajunvike** · 04-11-2007, 11:50 AM

Taylor...unless we draft Peterson!

Then, I would go with Barber...even though he's a Cowturd!

I had both backs on my fantasy team last year and was really happy with both of them (until Chester got injured).
My league gave 1 point per reception and Chester racked up good points without finding the end zone much.
That said, there have been rumors floating around that Dallas will try to deal deal Julius Jones on draft day (SI. com - Truth and Rumors).
If that's true it could increase Marion's workload this year.

as many have said so far it comes down to who is going to be the main rb of their team.

If jones is dealt, the Barber will get a loooot of touches.

if we get AP in the draft. CT will prolly loose some touches, but maybe gain more staying power
throughout the year.

as a purple faithful, i'd say keep CT,

as a fantasy player myself.. i'd say Keep CT

if i worked for the NFL analitests.. i'd say M. Barber..

If i was Timothy Leary i'd say.. take the sunshine squares, and get rid of the scooby heads.
