I need a RB and I can trade for one of these two. Who’s better? I would think McGahee but he might have some injury problems but Thomas Jones could share some time with Leon Washington.
defenately mgahee…when thomas jones was in chicago, he still didnt put up GREAT numbers….hes the type of RB that jukes at the line of scrimage and gets 1.5 yrds.The O’ line was also very good for chicago.Im not too sure about the jets…Mgahee did pretty well with the bills. And now that he has the Ravens O line to block for him, expect him to have a great year (without injuries hopefully). And you are right, the 1, 2 back is becoming very popular in the NFL. Thomas Jones could split time with leon washington. Mgahee, LT, LJ, Shaun, Jackson (elite backs) dont need that 1, 2 punch….Fantasy leagues are about taking risks. If i had to schhose, id go with mgahee.

I’d go McGahee…I think he’s going to have a nice situation, and Washington has been good in the preseason, and will be running back by committee in NY for at least a few weeks.

Thomas Jones. He will get the majority of the work and is not as prone to injuries. Plus he is with a team that has more passing options than the Bears, which will open up more opportunities for him to break loose.

I like Thomas Jones a lot, but the Jets schedule is pretty tough, particularly early in the season. I think McGahee has more risk, but also a higher potential reward. I’d probably go with McGahee.

I say W McGahee is in a better situtation than T Jone with the strength of schedule. Good luck with what you decide

McGahee. Jones may have to share time Leon Washington andCedric Houston. While McGahee is the for sure starter.

This one is close, but you have to go with Willis McGahee. While he has yet to really breakout I think this will be the year. He is playing behind a better than average Ravens offensive line, and the Ravens have decent weapons around him. McGahee is the guy and will see most of the carries every game. I was really high on Thomas Jones till he got hurt, but he has been falling in drafts ever since his injury. If he does come back week 1 like they are all saying he will, then I expect him to have a good year. If he does not play week 1 then that means his injury is more serious than the Jets let on. Take McGahee and be happy you got him!

Definately McGahee. He is on a better team with a better defense that will run the ball more to hold leads. He also will be running behind a better offensive line. I’m a huge Bears fan and loved Jones in Chicago, but it’s just a matter of McGahee being in a better situation right now.

I like Jones a lot and don’t think he’s getting the respect in most player rankings he deserves. But really, I’d still go with McGahee
