BigMilk 40 Posted November 30, 2006 My RB situation is a disgrace. I've got T.Jones, Fred Taylor and DeAngelo with Marion Barber and Brandon Jacobs available on the wire. Pick 2, cause I can't. They're all trash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bunnerjk 0 Posted November 30, 2006 They are all decent just not superstars. I would just play Jones and Taylor. If you have someone weak to dump for MBIII I would do it!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonzie2004 0 Posted November 30, 2006 At least Jones and Taylor are bona fide starters. If they are your studs, roll with them. Can't trust Barber or Jacobs against each other's defenses. Not sure about Sunday weather in NJ either. So, I pretty much agree with the previous poster.

catch15burns 0 Posted November 30, 2006 got to go with taylor and jones....both are number one backs with teams that need to run the ball a lot http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=256938 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 441 Posted November 30, 2006 Jones & Taylor all the way, and they could be okay this weekend. IF Foster is out you might want toake a crack at DW instead of Jones, but I don't think you can wait until Monday to find out. Could use some advice myself, thanks. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=256494 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHOCKEYGUY80 0 Posted November 30, 2006 jones and taylor, but barber and jacobs are viable options too since they get into the endzone http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=256952 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underbruin 0 Posted November 30, 2006 Well I can't exactly speak for all leagues because mine is TD heavy, but MBIII is quite frankly a monster pick-up in any sort of TD heavy league (in mine, point per 20 yds rush/rec, he's the #8 scoring RB). He's averaging a TD/gm, so there's very little reason not to pick him up if you have any sort of roster space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JKRAY 0 Posted November 30, 2006 you have to go with Marion Barber and DeAngelo Williams. With DeShaun Foster injured, he's going to be getting all the carries on a team with a very good offense against a BANGED UP philly team. Marion Barber is a TD monster, and although sharing time with Julius Jones, gives great numbers consistently. The Giants have been prone to give up good points to RB's too. Look at how badly Travis Henry tore em up last week. Use my advice or not, but think about this. DON'T play Thomas Jones for anything. Minnesota has the number one rush defense in the nfl and give them nothing to work with. Teams play minny with tons of pass plays. Note the Arizona game, when Edge got only like 5 carries all game. Fred Taylor is a good choice, but splits time with Maurice Jones-Drew, and against Miami, which usually plays teams tight against the rush, it doesn't look good. Brandon Jacobs could work, but only because he's THE goal line back. Not consistent enough though, and the offense is struggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endzona 0 Posted December 2, 2006 My philosophy is always go with the starters that are guaranteed to get the ball a lot. Jacobs is a big risk but Barber isn't as big of a risk as he is used consistently, just not full time. Still, I'd go with Jones and Taylor. Thanks for answering mine.
