RB situation - looking for feedback
« on: Nov 15th, 2003, 11:55am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
OK--
 
I usually don;t ask for line up feedback, but I am going to get some feedback this week cause I have some HUGE games.  (doubleheader)
 
We start 3 Running backs.  Scoring is not traditional(GBRFL league) so I need as much as out each guy as possible.  I am competing in two categories, TD's and yards rushing.  If I get anything in receiving that is just a bonus.  Bottom line, I need the best 3 RB in total production.
 
So, I need 3 of the following 4 to start.  I have put my general thoughts and concerns next to each player:
 
Curtis Martin--  Playing the Colts.  Tends to not get any TD's.  Colts could bolt ahead of the Jets leaving the Jets to pass.  Losing some carries to Jordan.  However, he has posted decent numbers the past 3-4 weeks.  
 
Rudi Johnson--  Playing Kansas City.  Again, Kansas City could blow out Cincy forcing them to pass.  Dillon has been upgraded to probable.  Will he lose carries?  Will he get the TD's?  Doesn't seem to get any receiving yards.  Will Cincy abondon the run?
 
James Jackson-- Favorable match up against the Cards.  Game should be kept close so the run should not be abandoned.  Only person who may take carries away is Jamel White who may see an increased role with Willie Green out.  Should get the goal line carries.  Offense generally sucks!!
 
Deuce McCallister-- NO brainer.  GREAT matchup this week.
 
I am leaning towards starting McCallister, Jackson, and Rudi.  
 
Any thoughts?

Okay, I'll volley back, homeboy...
 
I would go with McAllister, Martin and Jackson (probably in that order, actually, dude).  I would not go with Rudi for the reason you mention and, well, I would go with the others for the reasons you mention. ( ... What he said!) I really think KC is going to bury Cincy, taking Rudi out of the game.  Also of note, kind of, Dillon has been upgraded to questionable.

I'd still be wary of Martin.  He doesn't get the TDs where Rudi does.  I would be very surprised if Dillon plays this week, which means that Rudi should get at least 20 carries (not the 43 he had last week).  The Chiefs HAVE to respect the Bengal passing game (Chad Johnson, Peter Warrick, Kelley Washington, and a decent pass-catching TE in Tony Stewart) and the Bengals have a nice O-line, so Rudi is going to get some opps.
 
1. McAllister
2. Jackson
3. Johnson
4. Martin

But, Indy is susceptible to the run, without doubt.

And their "O" maybe sputtering this week, leading toward a game that is close to the vest and more Martinesque.

I have a gut feel that Dillon will not play this week.  That being said, I would go with:
 
1.  McAllister - As you stated "NO BRAINER"
2.  Martin - Due to the weak run defense of Indy.
3.  Johnson - I doubt Dillon will be a factor.
4.  Jackson - See above.

Well....I unfortunately did not go with Rudi!!
 
However, I am not too disappointed because James Jackson got me 2 TD's, McAllister had 173 and 2 TD's, and Martin came in with 105 yards rushing.  Overall pretty great day for my RB corps.
