Buckeye45 0 Posted December 15, 2011 According to SI.com (which I never look at, and was shocked to see it ranked this way) I have 5 RB's in the Top 10 for week 15 - a crucial week for me because I am going against Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs. (1) Arian Foster, (5) Beanie Wells, (8) Roy Helu, (9) Marshawn Lynch, (10) Felix Jones. Foster is the no brainer - but I can find arguments for the rest. Who would you start (2 Total RB's) of the other 4, and why? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GridIronAssassin#1 0 Posted December 15, 2011 Foster at #1, Rice looks like he might be the consensus #2, then it gets tough. I'm actually not going with what the experts are saying. I'm benching Chris Johnson and playing lower ranked running backs. I'll be starting Shonne Greene over Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson did not do anything against Indy the 1st time around, what makes anyone think he can load up on them here when it's @ Indy and not in Houston?

I like Felix Jones a LOT this week in PPR Leagues. He is the only Cowboy RB worthy of handling the ball. I can see 90 yards rushing, 1 TD, 6 receptions for another 50 yards. Considering Tampa cannot stop the run and the weather for the game is supposed to be nice, I think if you own him in PPR, he is an absolute must start.

Buckeye45 0 Posted December 16, 2011 Interesting to see the different thoughts. By the way I am not in ppr league. I was thinking Jones since TB has been awful. Wells is a crap shoot - I have sat him when he went off then start him and he was awful. Hate to sit Lynch because he has been so good, but bad matchup. Helu scares me to death, partly due to his coach who may sit him for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CJ has been running better of late, both QB's are banged up, Ringer is on the bench, and the colts blow. Oh, and the games on turf. I figure, hell, if my 4th overall pick sh!ts the bed and I lose, I lose. But if I sit him and he goes off I'll never forgive myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwillingham 0 Posted December 16, 2011 I have the same quandry after Rice of who to choose between Helu and Wells. Right now, I am going with Wells because they are a hot team, playing at home, against a terrible run defense. Beanie will get plenty of touches. Helu is on the road, not as good of a team, playing against a NYG team riding high after their victory over the Cowboys. I think NYG contains Helu but gives up yards to Moss and Gaffney. As for Felix Jones, the matchup against TB is enticing, but the Cowboys are not a very good road team and there are plenty of other offensive weapons to spread the ball around to. Tough call between the three, but I would go with Wells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

p.man 7 Posted December 16, 2011 No doubt in my mind on who I would start this week.. Tampa can't stop anyone and Cleveland is terrible vs the run. B.Wells and F.Jones. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saut 7 Posted December 16, 2011 Foster and Jones. Can't believe there are folks who are suggesting starting someone other than Foster this week. Matchups do not get much juicier than Carolina right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
