vinniedasquid 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Rudi Rudi Rudi. As the week (and season) goes on I'm starting to lose my manlove for him a bit. Couple linemen out, pedestrian numbers the last few weeks... Portis is my must-start as always. I'm 5-1 but I've been struggling in points since week 3, and I'm playing the best team in the league this week (McNabb, Dunn, Tatum, Steve Smith, Housh, Wayne, Dallas Clark etc.) He's got me by 135 pts so far so I could really use a win if it's feasible to make up for my crappy pointage. Should I start Rudi against Carolina's D? Other options: Chester Taylor@Seattle, Leon Washington(not really an option I don't think). My roster is in my sig. All other positions are locked due to bye weeks. Whattaya think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramblin'wreck 0 Posted October 21, 2006 I still like Rudi against the Panthers than Chester at Seattle. The Hawks has a very good run defense. Here's mine.. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=246362 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MudDawgs4Life 6 Posted October 21, 2006 start rudi. he's got 4 TDs on the year, chester only has 1. both matchups aren't great. yeah, cincy's offense is struggling, but if they're going to beat the panthers, they're going to have to run the ball. stick with your first round draft pick. thanks for answering mine, i'm leaning towards holding onto foster and berrian.

shicks3781 0 Posted October 21, 2006 I would stick with the proven guy and go with R. Johnson, he has the best potential out of the bunch. Thanks for answering my question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Both D's have given up 111 pts so far, but Carolina has given up almost 500 more yds of offense on the season. I'd go with Rudi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbogli 0 Posted October 21, 2006 i have to go with chester on this one. I know more people are picking Rudi but they just lost another man on the O-line. He was struggling to begin with. The whole team is. I think carolina goes up early and Cincy doesn't run the ball. I would play Chester because his invovlement in the passing game as well. At least if Seattle gets up early Chester will still see looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkihox037 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Gotta stick with Rudi I do think Taylor puts up good fantasy numbers in the Seahawks win over the Vikings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgard72 10 Posted October 21, 2006 I go with Chester Taylor on this one. With the loss of Cincy's C (Rich Braham) the offensive line play has been shakey. Carolina has a good D and should cause havoc there. Steve Hutch on Minny should be ready to show up the Seahawks...giving Chesta some nice holes to run through.

cooldawg16 0 Posted October 21, 2006 i'd stay away from rudi this week...their o line is in shambles.....center and left tackle are out.....taylor on the other hand is involved in pass and run plays....he will score at least one td..... here's mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=246380 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloFanNYC 0 Posted October 21, 2006 I say ride Rudi for one more week, he might have some nagging injuries that are not showing up on the injury reports but can see him and the Bungles offense getting it going (they need to break out of their funk).

flatidea 0 Posted October 21, 2006 I'm going to disagree with the majority here. I would start Taylor. He will see the ball a ton and the running scheme the Vikings use is similar to the Bears (who ate up Seattle). The numbers for Seattle's run D are skewed due to that Giants' game where they jumped out huge and NY gave up on the run; they played Detroit before they figured out their offense (14 carries for Jones in a 9-6 game????) and Arizona can't run against anyone. Minnesota has a better line and Taylor will get his carries. He's only had one game where he had fewer than 20 carries. Also, he's got 14 catches to Rudi's 7. Rudi has a lot of holes in that line suddenly and has been seeing the rock a lot less (19, 14, 17 in the last three games). I know I'm selling pretty hard here, but I just wanted to make a point since the board seems pretty sided towards the "don't bench your stud" argument. Good luck!

napa joe 0 Posted October 21, 2006 I agree with Flatidea- he said it better than I could. I like Taylor more this week than Rudi. mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=246449 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndyFan 2 Posted October 21, 2006 I like Chester better this week. Rudi has struggled this year and the oline is quickly becoming worse not better. Minny is committed to the run and Tatlor will get his touches. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=246500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da browns 10 Posted October 21, 2006 I see your problem. I have a Dunn or Taylor issue myself http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=246505[/url] I like the proven stud - Rudi. he's pretty consistant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D~Loot 0 Posted October 21, 2006 RUDI for sure! Taylor can be hit or miss. When he misses, he misses big. Rudi sould get a lot of looks in what should be a tight, high scoring game. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=246511 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sb2232 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Yeah, stick with the proven commodity here. Rudi is the way to go. Neither matchup is ideal, but when in doubt you have to stick with the stud.

nicewolf64 0 Posted October 21, 2006 I'd go with Chester because I think Cincy will be behind early and end up finally having a huge day from Palmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ir0nchef 0 Posted October 21, 2006 i'd start chester... i think the bengals are gonna be forced to goto the air in this one http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...=245920&hl= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellenvega 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Rudi. The Bengal's offense is more proficient than the Vikes, much greater chance for a goal-line opportunity. Thanks for answering mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hit Hard 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Very tough choice. I would go with Rudi even with the OL troubles. He'll have better chances at TD's, this game may be a shootout.
