Who would you take number one overall?

My league is non-PPR, but you can discuss either or for other readers of the board.

Foster, but make sure you get Tate! Foster more of a sure thing for TD's in the redone as Houston runs the ball quite a bit in the red zone. Cameron has a tendency to get cute w/ the playcalling in the redone at times, too smart for his own good.

Foster non-PPR
Rice gets the slight edge PPR

Can't go wrong with either IMO

I like rice the best, less room for error.

I like Foster, but I think Rice is the better option in PPR leagues. Also Foster has had a lot of miles the last couple years. Better get Tate if you go Foster.

I would probably end up flipping a coin. Pros and cons to each one but you can't go wrong with either.

What does less room for error mean?

Anyway, last year, these two were just about dead even in PPR ppg.

I'd take Foster, but it's a coin flip.

Just curious why you think that.

Foster is a fantastic receiver.

less room for error means, they are coin flip right so look at what can prevent them from producing. The one thing that seperates the 2 of them is tate. Rice doesnt have a tate on his team. So I take rice. That doesnt mean I think tate will take from foster, but why not eliminate the possibility for sure and take rice.

but are you getting the upside of Tate if Foster goes down for a few games with whoever you would replace Rice with if he was to miss time?

Yep, both are great pass catchers, but Rice will probably catch 10-15 more balls. It's a very slight edge IMO and you can't go wrong either way

I don't consider Tate a problem either like some suggest. The volume Houston uses its backs is great, and Tate allows Foster to stay refreshed throughout the game.

i was asking about upside, not upskirt :lol:

what i meant was, whoever you are drafting to take the RB bench spots, do they have the upside Tate can give you if your no.1 guy goes down.
