| I know you're only needing the one week fix, but with Shipp you get a shot at a legit starting rb sittin' on your bench for insurance. The dude has some fumble problems to address, but if you'll recall, Portis had a 3 fumble pre-season game and has only had one since. I'm not predicting monster numbers, but he's got some very favorable match-ups coming up. Once again, more and more it looks as if Faulk will play, so a decision may not be necessary.

I agree with what FourTwoOh wrote. Shipp is a nice pickup for the long-haul and a decent pickup for this week. Hell, if I were you, I might go ahead and pick up Shipp and roll the dice and start Faulk, anyway, as it looks like he might play. The one other guy I like from your list about as much as Shipp, and perhaps Faulk too, for this week and maybe, just maybe, for the long-haul as well, is William Green. If he is going to succeed, this week against Cincy with Jamel White out would be the time to start doing so. If he just happens to, then you got yourself a real goodie. But, don't get me wrong... I wouldn't count on it!

Add that to the fact that they will be playing angry and will be playing for pride. All I have to say is: Start Shipp at your own risk. :firemansmilie: |
| It's all good. They are on more than a one week slide though. 134 combined to Mungro, 104 combined to A Train and 173 combined to Tiki. Only 3 td's given up over that stretch, but hardly intimidating yardage numbers. You know I got plenty of love for the Eagles, but my main point in this eval, is that Shipp remains a good play even after this week. That increases his worth in my book over the others regardless of this weeks matchup.
