Both of these guys had good games when they finally got a chance to play last year. Both are now starters. Which one would be a better backup RB for me?

My RBs
RB: D. McAllister
RB: Dominick Davis
Bench: S. Davis
Bench: ?

I think Suggs in a better player but he has William Green behind him that might steal some carries. I'd say the safer bet is Brown in this case.

Chris Brown
but i would pick up Deshaun Foster to back up Stephen Davis

EDIT: and how are these guys still available after your draft??

Just so you know, ESPN, Yahoo, FFtoolbox, and Staley8 all have Brown higher than Suggs. Although there isn't much of a gap between the two. So if you go by the numbers, Brown is better...but what I've found is to usually go with your gut.

Brown is the starter for now, Suggs has Green pushing him. I'd take Brown for now, and see how he does.

I'd wait a couple of games and leave Foster in free agency (if he's there). He has a tendency to cough up the ball, and hasn't shown a good game yet in the preseason.

I'd pick Brown over Suggs. Look for Brown to have his coming out party this year :).

Chris Brown without a doubt man, you know the titans don't have anyone outside of him. Yeah antwan smith is there but it's obvious that guy has NOTHING left. Why would you draft an RB that has a former 1st round draft pick who's ripped like Jesus ridding his tail?

Brown is without a doubt going to get more playing time, that in itself should be enough to make you pick Chris.
