here's my thinking

Buchner is smaller than Carr, which is not what you want in short yardage pileups. If all you want is a ball carrier, just improve the wildcat or call in someone bigger. Cross off Buchner.

Minchey is no bigger than Carr. He may be faster than Carr in a 40 yard dash but they're the same in a short yardage situation, i.e., both can move well enough to pull off a keeper. Minchey is also no better as a thrower than Carr. Unless you're only worried about injury protection, cross him off too.

So that leaves other guys. Ideally you want some extra beef with some wheels. Fields checks those boxes, but others probably do too.
