Fantasy Football Preference—NFC South (Based on 12-team, Standard Scoring Leagues)

1. Michael Turner vs. DeAngelo Williams

Bruno Boys Cavigs: BURNER TURNER.

You really can't go wrong with either option, but you have to give the edge to Turner. He not only has the better supporting cast but his style of play is better-suited to repeat his success than that of DeAngelo Williams. Turner is a big body who uses his size to break tackles and get the extra yardage, while Williams' counts on the big play and tries to beat opponents with a speed-and-slash running style.

Plus, Turner is the better goal line back and don't expect Jerious Norwood's increase in touches to be around the end zone. That is "Burner Turner" territory.

Bruno Boys Ziza:  TURNER. Both of these running backs had stellar 2008 numbers but neither have a very promising schedule this season and both are expected to lose some playing time to their backfield partners this year.

That being said, although Michael Turner should touch the ball less this year, the addition of tight end Tony Gonzalez should help spread the field just enough to where defenses won't be able to stack the box every play. That should allow Turner to have many more reps in which he will have an easier time getting through the line.

Look for a dip in numbers for Turner, but he should still be productive enough to eclipse DeAngelo Williams as the running back to have in this division.
