RB - Philly said it best... Ouch. I disagree with Wheatley, I like White much better vs DEN. Bal can be passed on, but they're not giving anything up vs the run. I'd go Zander and White. WR - I like Philly's picks too, Smith, Robinson, Boston. Tough to sit Wayne vs ATL, but they're spreading it around quite a bit in Indy right now. TE - KSass. Had 2 TDs vs CHI in previous meeting. I like his chances for another. WR/RB - Wayne. Maybe Wheatley and hope for a TD.

Wheatley is a more experienced back and has been producing fairly consistently for a few weeks now. Baltimore probably won't be lighting up the scoreboard too much, so Oakland can still run. Jamel White came in and ran well against St. Louis last week (but the Rams rush defense isn't that great) and was able to run because the Browns hung with St. Louis and kept the score close. Now Denver is on a roll. They are playing well and it is reasonable to think that they should be able to pull away from the Browns. Not to mention that the Denver defense allows less rushing attempts and yards than the Ravens do. |
| See, here's my counterpoint on this. First of all, I think Wheatley is due for a weak game (Steggie's ole' "cycles theory"), and who else better than the Ravens to make sure that happens. Also, your contention that the Ravens won't be lighting it up is quite debatable. If the Ravens do pull away, the Raiders will (have to) get away from the run, which bodes well for Garner. I actually think that Garner matches up better against the Ravens than does Wheatley. In any event, there is at least a question mark there. Whereas, with White, he has virtually NO competition for touches out of the back field this week and is both a rushing AND receiving threat. So, whichever way the game goes, close game, Denver run-away, or even Cleveland run-away, White will be a significant factor. This is assuming that it doesn't matter how Jamel gets his yardage, on the ground or through the air. If that is the case, I see White's being the much more "stable" play.
