Lamont Jordan or Marion Barber?

Recommended Posts

Starting Brian Westbrook...

Need to pick one of these two.

 

Lamont Jordan (away)vs Denver

 

Marion Barber (home) vs Texans.

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks

real tough call... all preferance, lamont could be good for say... 60 rushing, 35 recieving, and maybe a td.... nothing more... i am debating him or leon washington... barber has a good shot at a garage goaline score.. and he is also 4th on the team in reception.... i think... i would

 

go with lamont because he is a starting rb... just traded for chad johnson... did i give up to much

I'd go with Barber. Denver's Rush D has been great and when Oakland falls behind Den they'll be "attempting" to pass to get back in it. Barber is a good bet to get some goaline touches and a TD.

Barber has a MUCH better matchup but Jordan is a starter so he will, in all likelihood, get many more touches.

 

However, against Denver, I doubt he will be very productive.

 

Dallas could very well go up large, and early, meaning Barber will get increased carries.

 

I would gamble somewhat and start Barber.

Honestly... I think it depends on the rest of your team.

 

If you think you're "favored", I'd go with Lamont. Probably a gauranteed 40-60 yards... and probably assured to not get in the endzone.

 

If you really need the help... go with Barber. With the matchup, easy potential for 2- TD's plus 50-100 yards. However, he could also easily score you zip.

 

My 2 cents.

I'll always favor a full-time starter over the backup RB for another NFL team. I want a RB in my lineup who gets the touches, since if he's not getting those I don't care how talented he is. Jordan doesn't have a great matchup this week, but he is the man in Oakland. He will carry the ball. Barber has a better matchup, and if this was a question for Julius Jones I'd say to go with J.J. However, you're talking about the #2 RB in Dallas vs. the #1 RB in Oakland. I have to side with the #1 every time.

I would go with Barber. Take away Jordan's 56 yards TD run against Cleveland and Jordan doesn't have a decent performance all year.

I have the same situation with Deshaun Foster and Marion Barber and i'm going with Barber. Barber will get the goal-line touches and opponents average 200yds on the ground against Houston. Look at what Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts did and it should be similar to JJ and MBIII.

Well, thanks for answering mine. Your question is pretty much similar .. but I think I would go with Barber in your case. HOU's D is in noway close to DEN's.
