Anderson or Lamont Jordan for week 16?
« on: Dec 19th, 2005, 7:33pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Denver plays Oakland so my 2 running backs play each other. I am starting Tikki for sure, so I need 1 more RB.  
 
Im thinking that Oakland will fall behind and have to pass so Lamont Jordan wont get very many yards or touches. Im tempted to start Anderson since I think he will get at least 1 score or more. Plus if Denver gets ahead early they will continue to run the ball.  
 
Any thoughts? I hate to bench a stud like Lamont!

Watch the injury reports.  Jordan seemed to have a turf toe problem in Week 15's game, which may or may not mean a  thing.  He will be evaluated this week.  But he had his best game of the season and broke 1,000 yds.  And Denver can handle the run.  
 
As for Anderson, who the heck knows who will get the ball there?    Bell could get the big, break-away plays - or not.  And the Raiders handled Droughns very well this past weekend, giving him only 53 yds. rushing and doing nice goal-line stops.  
 
I would watch the injury reports this week, and I would play Jordan over Anderson (Jordan is also good in the pass game, so could get something in any case if healthy) - but you should watch to see if Jordan is really OK.

Go with Anderson, The Raiders are the worst team in  the NFL in my opinion. (Sorry Callie, but with all that talent, they should be a hell of a lot better) They sure don't know how to use Jordan correctly when healthy. As a Jordan owner, they have pissed me off all year. The guy should have 1,500 yards from scrimmage  and double digit touchdowns.  
 
I'd go Anderson.

Thanks for the advice.  
 
Barnaby - with Moss, Collins, and Lamont you would think the raiders would be at least .500.  The last game the Raiders looked pathetic although Lamont actually got some yardage.  
 
The last few games it seems that Anderson has gotten the bulk of the carries. Plus Denver is #2 against the run this year.

I like LaMont...he is to the Raiders what Domanick Davis is to the Texans....half the offense!! However, as Callie has stated, make sure he is a healthy start. You can't really go too wrong with either IMHO. Look for similar statlines this week.

Right on, MC!
 
BW, if you are in a league where you get yards from everywhere, you did get over 1,500 yards from Jordan.  The only other RB who has more receiving yards this year is Westbrook, and he was way below Jordan for rushing yards.  Westbrook only has a little over 600 yards rushing.

As long as Jordan is healthy you have to put him in.  Anderson is usually a solid start, but he still only gets half the touches Lamont gets no matter how you look at it.
 
Lamont is over 45% of the total offense for the Raiders.  Just because Oakland isn't playing for anything doesn't mean they didn't have this date checked on their calendar since pre-season.
 
This is one of the biggest rivalries in football.  Even moreso since Shannahan has been coach.  This game will be hard fought.  And Jordan will get ALOT of touches.
 
If he is playing, he's a must start over Anderson.

I'm with the crowd here...  O4l sums it up the best...  Bottom line, go with Jordan.  It's really an "only show in town" versus "one of many fiddlers" thing.  Good luck!
