it really depends on health... if healthy, Westbrook and Jackson are as good as anyone. That is a BIG "if" though

when healthy, westbrook is still a top 5 guy. However, I don't think he's going to be healthy for the entire year. I'd take Jackson

westbrook can't really stay healthy, so I guess I should go with Jackson then? He's been injured as of late too, though

How many teams and what is the starting lineup? 2RB, 2WR 1Flex? It really depends where you draft, how many teams in the league and how you have to set-up your lineup.

Westbrook seems to be the best available regardless, but there's a lot to take into account. Try to anticipate what will be there on your second and look at it as a whole.

Oh - never take a QB in the first 4 rds...wasted move based on what you miss out on at WR/RB positions there

Jackson or Brees pending on what your league stats are. If it's normal point scoring I'd go Jackson he averaged 87y/g in 12 games. RB in normal league scoring are the anchors.

I cant imagine Jackson and St. Louis will be as bad as they were last year. I had him 2 years ago and he was a stud. Westbrook is going to be like Bettis when his career is done. Poor guy guts it out, and has been every year I can remember. I think he drops off his normal output this year.
