    Very, very tough question. I think I'd go with Charles because I think he can last longer than most typical NFL running backs. Understand that longevity is on the side of Julio, but I'm more of a win-now dynasty player.

    Hmmmm....obviously you will have more longevity with Julio at WR. He's a top talent and would definitely be an asset for years to come. In the short term you do still have the injury concern and how much it has affected his game. Also we have yet to see him as a true #1 so it will be interesting to see how his numbers will be affected as teams stop focusing so much on Roddy due to his aging. Teams also will not have to focus on Tony Gonzalez so their main priority is going to be shutting down Julio. He will still be a top WR but I don't know that he will be able to put up monster numbers

    With Charles you're getting a top back that still has 2 or 3 years left in him at the very top. He has consistently put up great number while not really having any other threats around him. Plus he has always been a receiving threat so you can expect to get plenty of points from that.

    In the end it really boils down to what you are looking for. Some would go Julio in dynasty because you can expect to get WR1 numbers out of him for years and years. I personally think that I would go with Charles, although I do tend to be more of a short term thinker. You can still get 2 or 3 years of top end production from him and have a good chance of snagging some titles. Whereas Julio is coming off of an injury and the Falcons offense has some question marks. I'd go Charles and maybe after 2 years see if I could find someone to deal him to

    And even if I couldn't deal him he'd still be a serviceable RB in his later years

    Charles doesn't take a lot of hard hits, so I expect him to last longer than your average RB. He should be the #1 guy for the next few seasons.

    I would take Charles. Even if I preferred Julio, I would take Charles and then use him to trade for Julio plus something else - rookie picks, bench depth, high upside prospects, etc.
