Keep Greene or Blount?
I play in a deep 16-team keeper football league, and I'm the defending champ so I want to make the right move here.
We can only keep two players, and only players who were kept the year before OR players who were drafted from round 5 on. Plus there's a 2-year limit on keepers, so I'm losing my QB that I've kept the last two years. And you can only keep one player per position (so you can't keep 2 RBs).
Who would you keep... Shonn Greene or Legarrette Blount?
I'm keeping Mike Williams (TB) with my other pick. I know Blount is usually higher rated, but I worry about keeping two players from the same team, especially when TB is not an elite offense. I expect LaDanian Tomlinson to look worse this year than last year, so Shonn Greene will be better than last year ideally... but will he be good enough to match Blount? Or will the Tampa offense with Freeman, Blount and Williams be better than I think?
Detailed answers appreciated. Thanks everyone!
My QB was Schaub, who will be traded for a draft pick since he can't be kept again. And it's a 16-team league, so a team with solid players all over the board will do just as well (or in my case better) than a team with a couple stars who misses on their other early picks.
Remember, one detail of the league is that you can't keep any of your top 4 draft picks. Obviously I would love to keep Dwayne Bowe instead of Mike Williams, but in our league you can't. Greene was my other keeper last year so he's still eligible, and both Blount and Williams came in the 5th round or later so they're eligible. The best keeper candidate I can get in trade for Schaub is Ryan Torain, who I like less than both Blount and Greene so I'm moving him for a draft pick.
Schaub is going for a 2nd round pick (after the 4 keepers), so still looking for input on this keeper choice. Thanks everyone!

I don't understand how Mike Williams is your next best player aside from your QB and these are the two running backs you own and are debating about keeping. You must have won this league because of your quarterback. Manning perhaps?
If I was choosing between the two, I would go with Blount because I believe the young Tampa Bay team will do extremely well this season both offensively and defensively. The Jets are a great team but do not have a great offense and Shonn Greene is not the sole running back in their system, where as Blount should get a significant percentage of TBs carries. I'd go with Blount and hope that Sanchez actually does somewhat well this year so the Jets don't have to run it 95 percent of the time.
