Got the 2 pick in my office league

[Empire Lindy]

So here's the question... Adrian Peterson, Joseph Addai, or Brian Westbrook? It seems to me that Addai is going to get a LOT of touches, yards, and TD's with such an explosive offense and weapons to take the focus away from just him. Peterson - I think - is going to see 8 in the box all year. The Eagles have a good QB and decent WR's, but no one that is going to be as good as Wayne/Harrison/Gonzalez.

But the thing is, Peterson and Westbrook are the guys going 2/3. Can someone make me understand why I should be picking Peterson or Westbrook when they are more injury prone, in worse offenses, and likely to get the focus of the opposing D?

I have had Brian Westbrook twice in our history of the CE league. He's decent, but he's also getting older and has had some health issues. Last year he was healthy and put up big numbers but he's not a number two pick IMO.

With Dominic Rhodes back in Indy I think Joseph Addai's numbers may go down a bit from last year which leaves that guy in Minnesota. I had him last year and he was steady as it gets. Chester Taylor scored, I think 10, TDs last year I believe so the Rhodes argument may be NULL, but I would go with Peterson because he has more tread on the tires.

AP also has a lot of injury history in college. He has yet to play a full season in college or the pros. That concerns me a little bit.

I need more convincing. BTW, my draft is TONIGHT and not next week. I'm going to be well prepared.

I had Addai last year and he was great. He got me a ton of points at the beginning of the year. Towards the end they started playing Kenton Keith and he started taking points away from Addai. Rhodes is back but two years ago he was there and Addai had a ton of yards and TD's so that wouldn't concern me.

As long as Harrison and Manning are both healthy Addai is the choice IMO.
