who should i look at to maybe pick up...Kenny watson or Chris Perry??

Your guess is as good as anyone's. I drafted Rudi in one of my drafts because he fell several rounds farther than anticipated (before even his job was in question), so it was a good value pick for me for my backup rb.

I like Kenny Watson's potential, but question his durability as a full-time back. I think Chris Perry will probably get the starting job though. If Rudi is not traded, look for him to split carries with Perry almost 50-50 with the leftovers going to Watson.

I just dropped Rudi today and picked up Perry as his replacement. I'm not sold on any of them, but that's the chance you take drafting any part of Cincy's backfield. I'm taking the chance Perry turns out to be the starter simply because it's obvious the Bungals are no longer liking what they are seeing in Rudi.

I'm just glad he's my backup and I'm not relying on him or Perry for anymore than that.

Your lucky if Perry and Watson are still available. In my league both guys where drafted. But if I where you Id drop Rudi and if you can another player. Then pick up both and see how things play out.

I got em both! Perry was named the starter but I think fantasy-wise Watson should see more of the goal-line duties. I had Rudi last year and he was miserable to have.
