PosterNutBag 0 Posted December 10, 2008 It sounds like Gore is out this week, so that makes your decision easier. I think you have to go with Barber & Addai. I know both are hurt, but I see both starting this week. There is NO WAY Barber will sit out this week after Jerry Jones called him out ... plus Dallas needs a win in the worst way to stay in the playoff hunt. NYG is a tough matchup, but Barber is a tough runner and should score a TD in my opinion. Addai, I would normally suggest sitting, but he should have a nice game against DET. Rhodes has honestly looked better in recent weeks, but I expect Addai to play well at home. I realize that eliminates Thomas (Thurs night) as your failsafe backup, but I don't expect him to continue his recent fantasy outburst this week. Given your WR options, I think you are better suited this week to start one of them over Thomas in the Flex. I know VJax has been hot (well, last week only .. he's been inconsistent more than anything), but I think Santana Moss has a big week against Cincy for the Redskins. Good luck. I know you are gambling a little at RB with my suggestion, but I just don't think you have any other choice since the guys I am suggesting are studs and ones that I do see stepping up this week for you when you need it most.

JimDilly 0 Posted December 10, 2008 I would go with Thomas and Addai, with VJax as your flex option. Barber is a tough Mo-fo and if he didin't play last week after 10-day's rest then he is truly hurting. See FFToday "Anatomy of an Injury" this week for more about Barber's inury (his calf, too). The weather in Chicago is going to be more conducive to running than throwing, and you can run on the Bears so that is why I like Thomas (not to mention the fact that he has been a very consistent producer over the past 4 weeks). I think Addai will lose some touches and maybe a TD to Rhodes against Detroit, but it's Detroit so there should be a few TDs to go around. VJax is inconsistent, but KC can't really stop anyone and they give up big plays easily and that is VJax's specialty. Pitt can't get anything going in the passing game with Ben on his butt most of the time, so I think SantoMoss will have a tuff week. If you hear strong reports about a healthy and fired up Barber then put him in for Addai, but hold off until the last minute. I need to start 2 RBs and a WR/RB Flex this week. (At RB I also have P Thomas and JJ Arrington) Gore is hurt (sprained ankle), Addai is hurt (nursing a sore knee and shoulder), and M Barber is hurt (dislocated toe and sore calf).

staypuft29 0 Posted December 10, 2008 i agree with jimdilly. start thomas on thursday, then wait til sunday to decide between barber and addai. and if both are looking good, start both, but if barber doesn't sound too great, go with a receiver. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=335899 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justagrl 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks so much for the advice guys... I'll go ahead and stat P Thomas (he has been a BEAST lately and even returns kickoffs which count in my league). I am still stuck on the other 2 to start because I have made ALL of the wrong decisions this season (hence why I have been stuck in 4th place most of the season). Anymore advice would be appreciated!
