jaftica 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Only one can go as #2 behind MJD... Rice vs KC Addai vs Jac Slaton vs NYJ Am leaning towards Rice against a KC Def that was at the bottom for rush defense last year. Addai has averaged only around 55yds in 5 games with Jacksonville. Slaton is going against a decent NYJ rush defense. This a good choice? Thanks. Leave link to your question, I will help if I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gocolts 300 Posted September 10, 2009 Rice has a juicy match up, but I don't know if I could sit Slaton for him. Slaton is one of those guys that should be in the lineup unless he is hurt every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reasons I am even thinking about sitting Slaton is this. He is going against a team who last year was one of the top rush def teams. Secondly, it has been said, to give Slaton a break, Brown will probably be doing short yardage a goal line rushing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zefram0911 0 Posted September 10, 2009 I'm high on Rice... so I would play him too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevinv86 1 Posted September 10, 2009 SLaton... You spend a 1st or 2nd round choice on him for a reason... Start your stud week 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junior830 0 Posted September 10, 2009 If it weren't week 1, I would say to start Rice, but as the others said, you drafted Slaton in Round 1 for a reason. Start him until he gives you a reason not to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seabass1 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Go with Slaton. He's your #1 pick, so why sit him. He is on the edge of having a monster year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerminator 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Ray Rice could have a monster year. However at this point he still needs to prove himself worthy of starting over someone like Slaton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tippett56 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Slaton should be started every week unless proven otherwise. Wait for Rice to prove he should be started over Slaton before you look at matchups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaftica 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. Got lucky with Slaton. Picked him round 8 last year in a keeper league, so only had to give up 8th pick this year. Still deciding...dang...this is a nice problem to have I guess. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seh2000 5 Posted September 11, 2009 I'd have to go with Slaton. He's proven and Rice still has some guys to split with even though he's the guy now. Thanks for mine: seh2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
