    As stated in my fantasy take attached to the writeup above, Wilson is no more than a late round grab that probably wont amount to much, but who is a Jennings believer at even low-end RB2 value. As I also state in the write up above, he is really only a flex or RB3 buy for me, and since his ADP is often above that, I won't be owning him much in 2014. He can be good, I'm not writing him off, but I'm just not drafting him as my RB2, but will roster him as my RB3 and hope for more.

    Yeah, that's how it's been so far since most are willing to pay that low-end RB2 price in drafts. I just never see him in a spot I'd risk it.

    Wow. Looking at fresh ADP data from one source, both CPatterson and Michael Floyd are getting drafted a spot or two below Jennings. See, that's just too early IMO :)

    Wilson is more talented that Jennings. That will show if Wilson is able to play. But this backfield will soon belong to Williams

    Yup, you know I won't be taking him over Floyd so I'll Own zero shares of Jennings I guess.

    He is 29 but doesn't have the mileage of a 29 year old RB.

    I have Jennings, CJ.5K, Rice & Pierce as my RB2. I'm stoked at the options but fear I'll start the wrong one every week. If I had to turn in a week 1 lineup today, I'd start Jennings and be very happy.

    29 is 29.. Few low mileage runners ever play well long once they hit 30... Mike Anderson. He could do well at 29, 30.. Sure.. 31 is 31, so it's downhill at 31, as it's downhill for most all premier talents (let alone 29 year old late bloomers)... 2 years is decent, though.

    It's a joking, ligament and muscle/speed thing.. No one usually as what it takes in those areas at 31, at least at the RB position.

    Someone has to enter camp as the #1, and I'm not surprised that the Giants opted to go with the Veteran over the rookie and the 3rd year back coming off a career threatening injury.  This situation still seems fluid to me, as NY didn't pay Jennings as a featured back, and the team could easily part ways with him as early as next offseason.

    Personaly contracts with alot of money attacked should not make you think they'll be the main man. Look with what happen in Seattle with Matt Flynn and who ended up starting?
    My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
    QB Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, Josh McCown
    RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
    WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
    TE Z Ertz, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
    DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
    K Steven Hauschka

    He averaged over 16 points per start in my 0.5 PPR league last year. That was in OAK!

    Agreed, I think Jennings is the guy for this year with Williams taking some touches and Wilson being worked in on situational downs...    Sure, for Dynasty I don't care for Jennings much, but for this year?   I think he'll be pretty good...
