Shonn Greene and Beanie Wells are two backs looking to breakout this year. From a fantasy perspective I would advise anyone who has a chance at either of these two backs to take them. In limited roles the rookie runners showed explosiveness last year which has both their teams looking to feature them this year.
Shonn Greene and the NY Jets are in position to do big things this year with Geene leading the way. Shonn ran for 540 yards and 2 touchdowns touching the ball a miniscule 108 times last season. Jets management decided to trade away Greene's competition in the backfield despite him running for over 1400 yards last year. (Thomas Jones now plays for KC which makes it's own fantasy ripples, but that's another blog.) The move means that New York is crazy or crazy like a fox. There is one key loss for the Jets that has gone largely unnoticed, but that can mean a lot to Greene. Pro Bowl guard Alan Faneca is now playing for his antogonist in this blog's team, the Arizona Cardinals.
The former Ohio State star Beanie Wells really consiladated the number one position in the backfield for the Cardinals with an impressive end to last year. He finished the 09-10 season with 793 yards and 7 touchdowns on 176 attempts. While no running backs were traded away from Arizona, the team did lose the main part of it's offense. With Kurt Warner gone, Matt Leinart will take over at QB and I have a feeling the Cards will go to the run oriented offense that Coach Whizenhunt is known for.
I don't think you could really go wrong with either player, but if it were me I would take....I'll tell you after my own drafts. Unless you want to pay me.
