Warrick Dunn or Brandon Jacobs?

Question

Many of you will probably say Jacobs and that is fine, but I am huge Falcons fan and think that Warrick is healthy and will get a good bit of carries. Let me know what you think.

Answer 1

Warrick was named the starter. He's apparently healthy again, old, but healthy.



However, Dunn's TD totals for the last two years have been terrible. He had only 4 TDs all last year. If you choose Dunn, know that the odds of getting a TD are slim.



Jacobs is by no means a sure fire play this week. But, he's a bruiser, and the ideal goalline back. If there is a TD on the ground, he's likely to punch it in. Reuben Droughns will get a share of carries, but he's a dismal short yardage back everywhere he's been. (That's why he's no longer in Cleveland or Denver.)



I would take Jacobs, but go with your gut.

Answer 2

Brandon Jacobs is the featured back on a team that loves to run the football. Jacobs racked up yards and touchdowns last year playing the shadow of Tiki. Now that Tiki is gone, Jacobs will explode. He is also the prime goal-line rusher for that team.



Warrick Dunn is too inconsistent. You never know what you are going to get. Also, teams can key on him since Joey H. is their teams QB. It will be tough running for Warrick.



Go with Jacobs!

Answer 3

Jacobs for one reason only Joey. There aint going to be much pressure the the QB they know the only way to win is threw Warrick so the defense will try to hold him off and rather let Joey beat them. The Giants have a open spread team with WR's and TE's cover for the defense

Answer 4

I'm a huge Falcon fan, too, and I love Dunn but he hasn't been healthy and will be sharing carries with Norwood. I'd definitely go with Jacobs.

Answer 5

I'll take Jacobs. He has a lot to prove now that Tiki's gone.
