Who to start at RB?

Recommended Posts

Here's the deal. In one of my leagues I'm having some trouble deciding who to start this week at RB and at RB/WR.

 

My RB's

LJ - vs. Steelers

McGahee - vs. Lions

Parker- vs. Chiefs

Julius Jones- vs. Texans.

Chester Taylor- bye week

 

I'm normally a "start your studs" guy, but with LJ's neck injury, his low rushing yardage last week, and the Steelers defense having just smothered LT last week, I'm looking at going in a new direction since my other three play some of the worst D's in the league.

 

Anyone think I stick with LJ? Any thoughts on the others? Basically any input at all, I need to start two and we're a standard scoring no PPR league. Thanks in advance.

 

As always, leave a link and I'll get back ASAP.

I think you should stick with LJ and McGahee. Dal will kill Houston and I think Jones will get less touches when they go up and Parker is a gamble. He's fast but KC has a decent D. LJ's neck issue is just overhype by the media as always. Don't sweat it.

 

Thanks for the reply.

i'd go with parker. he gets the touches and the looks. davenport didnt spell carries from him last week against a very good chargers D and it looks like it'll be that way moving forward.

 

next is jones. that big lead will translate into carries. the only concern here is barber vulturing. jones mishandled a handoff last week and got hit for a loss, then barber came in for the vulture. i'd be hesitant, but theres no way both backs cant be productive against HOU.

 

your concern for LJ is legit. he plays a very good run defense. on top of that mcgahee leads in yds, but lacks in TDs. the lions are alos a good run defense, giving up only 95 YPG and 1 rushing TD this year.

Nope, go with McGahee and Parker. Remember steelers running game?? Yeah hasn't been good lately, think cowher will let that stand?? Parker will have a good game as will McGahee.

Good stat on the Lions rush D. I may bench McGahee now.

 

Still unconvinced about starting JJ and FWP. Seems a little risky to start both. But then again, they're all risky or I wouldnt have this problem.

 

Anymore input anyone?

First off how did you get LJ,McGahee,Parker,JJones&Taylor WOW... I hate to say this but i'd go with Parker and Jones. LJ's injury and the Stellers D worry me and McGahee faces a pretty good run D in Detroit and I think Losman might be throwing a little more this week. Can't believe I just said all of that but thats how i'd go...

 

Peace

 

Good Luck...
