Start at RB? 

Post#1 » by Killa K » Thu Nov 19, 2009 1:15 am

Im already starting Ray Rice vs Indy, in my other slot I am not sure to start. I have R. Mendenhall vs. KC, M. Forte vs. Phi, and L. McCoy vs. Chi. Who should I start? Help please

I'd go Mendenhall, he's pretty much a lock for a TD and 80 yards vs. KC. Forte has looked good in the passing game lately though.

I second Mendenhall vs. KC.

Can I play in here too? I need to pick one of these three as my third back:

Justin Forsett (Sea) should get tonnes of work with J.Jones out. Last week he dropped 20pts on Arizona, but he's facing Mini this week and they give up the least points to a RB(10.7). I think he stays involved though - as he's got good hands out of the backfield.

Jamal Charles shared some time with Kolby Smith(~2:1 ratio), but still put 21pts on Oak. Plus K.Smith really stunk it up (12 yards on 9 carries). It's KC vs. Pit who typically gives up the 2nd least fantasy points to an RB, but without Polamalu I think they are a different defense. Charles is the smaller of the two, but he's explosive and does catch well; even if Pittsburgh is up big I expect he'll be involved.

Tim Hightower is splitting his carries 50/50 with Wells, but the Rams give up a lot to opposing RB's (22.6). He's still favored close to the goal line, and catches a lot in check-downs... but will he do more or less of that in a blowout? Cards run when they are winning, but with whome? Wells may need reps, but Hightower keeps your QB safe and is great at clock eating forward progress.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the insight guys.

For BB, I would go and pick up Forsett because he has the most potential out of those three for the rest of the season. He should see plenty of action, since he has the ability to catch the ball as well
