ChickN:
Good questions.
I think that Tiki will bounce back this year and put up better numbers than last year. He has always been a pretty consisitent performer with decent speed, agility and is often used in third down passing situations. I like his experience over R. Johnson. I think Tiki will find the end zone a little more this year. Tiki has a tendency to cough up the ball and his durability is a concern but overall I give the edge to Tiki--little more experience and consistent past performance.
I like N. Cage over Travolta.

I also give my vote to TIKI. He has bulked up this year, and he will be playing with Warner + Eli.
Warner is dependant on a pass catching back (MARSHALL) and will throw alot of balls to TIKI who is a a great receiver.
Eli - a rookie under NFL blitzes takes time to adjust and will not be making his third and 4th reads, instead he will just dump the ball off in the backfield - AGAIN this helps TIKI.
Only drawbacks for TIKI are the HORRIBLE O-line - the NYG have done nothing to address this.
and lastly, TOM Coughlin - tom coughlin will ride u when your're HOT and bench you when you're NOT. Tiki better start off strong or we could actually be seeing more of RON DAYNE.
Why i dont like RUDI - hasnt done it for even ONE year - could be a fluke? They got rid of COREY and did NOT sign rudi to a long term deal and drafted PERRY who is great. TOO much risk to rank RUDI higher.
I pick Nick Cage as well. - MORE VERSATILE than Travolta. When you look at John u cant help but think of VINNY BA BA BARINO from Welcome back kotter. Whereas when you look at nicolas cage u dont have that one image of him.
Imagine the FONZ in movies - u just cant take the guy seriously cuz he is the FONZ. Same way with Travolta.
I pick CAGE!!!

Rudi's the man, he's a Shortbus Kid. Tike "oops i fumbled again" Barber is a nice running back, but losing the ball 6 times last year hurts you pretty good in this league. That's 18 points he fumbled away. Tiki in 16 total games had 3 total touchdowns. Rudi in 13 games had 9 touchdowns. I could easily see 1600/400 with 40 catches and a total of 16 touchdowns this year from Rudi. There's a lot of people wondering about Chris Perry in all this. I think Perry will see as much time as Larry Johnson in KC. Rudi will do the job and will end up with a long term deal. Tiki has been declining every year and i don't see a change in his decline anytime soon. Especially with the likes of Kurt "paper or plastic" Warner or Eli "whinny b!tch" Manning giving him the ball. Alright, that's enough babbling.
Valley Girl was so rad. Cage over Travolta any day.
