Week 5: BJacobs (v SEA) or RGrant (v ATL)

Ok, so here's the scoring format:
10 yds = 1 pt; bonus 4 pts @ 100 yards
1 rec = 0.5 pt
Rush/Rec TD = 6 pts

So I have Jonathan Stewart in, but I'm confused on who to start between Brandon Jacobs (in NY against SEA) or Ryan Grant (in GB against ATL).

So there's a ton of stuff running through my mind. Jacobs seems to be the safer bet based on Grant's "production" this year... but if Hasslebeck starts hitting Engram and Branch early, the game could turn into a QB slugfest. Conversely, Ryan Grant's QB has had shoulder issues all week, going up against a poor run D, and their backup QB is awful. But then you factor in that he couldnt even muster up anything against the Detroit Lions, and has yet to catch a pass for positive yards this season.

As you can probably tell, I'm leaning towards Grant but am gunshy because of his prior failures... can anyone convince me that is the right move?

Jacobs easily i think. He has been solid this year, and Grant HAS NOT. Plus, without Plax, they are probably going to run it a lot more.

Easily? Damn...

Grant has been horrible, but hes going up against ATLs really soft D, and Jacobs is going up against a D that has held Marshawn Lynch, Frank Gore, and Steven Jackson to less than 100 yards and only allowed 2 rushing TDs all year.

But thats the crux of the problem... Grant has been so pathetic this year, he may continue against ATL. What a choice :/

The Atlanta line isn't soft anyway.

The secondary is terrible however :lol:

Well my 2nd RB was Jonathan Stewart, and I benched him and put both Jacobs/Grant in. So I put the best 2 in, luckily... but I was really, really gunshy with Jacobs because of the Giants usage of RBs being so unpredictable...

Still :censored: lost though.
