Fantasy football question
For me, if Turner is there, take him. While a back that can both catch and run is great, Turner is just that good of a pure runner, just like AD. You wouldn't think twice about AD at #3 even though he is a pure runner right? However, my draft went AD, then Turner, and I was in the 3rd spot, so I took MJD. Like you said, MJD lost 2 OL, but remember he was sharing carries with Fred Taylor. However, he's now a feature back behind a healthy OL. IMHO, MJD > Forte.
I would go with Forte. He had a pretty decent year with receptions with Orton as QB. Now he has Cutler, the pass game is better so less 8 man in the box.
I think he will surpass last year's totals in rushing, receiving and TDs.
Okay, so here is how tonight's draft shook out for me.
QB
Matt Ryan
RB
Maurice Jones-Drew
Marion Barber
Lendale White
Darren Sproles
Leon Washington
James Davis
WR
Greg Jennings
Wes Welker
Anthony Gonzalez
Hakeem Nicks
TE
Greg Olsen
K
Mason Crosby
Def
Minnesota
I don't know if taking MJD will end up being smart or stupid. The 1st two guys taken were Peterson & Forte. I could have taken Turner but I opted for MJD. I don't know.

Reports said that MJD just got a good 'ol UFC-style shin bruise. Shouldn't be a concern by week 1. Michael Turner's great and all, but I'm still worried about that massive workload from last season. You know, the 370 carry curse.
