Title: Take a chance on Faulk?

Would you risk Faulk or make the safe play and start Dunn? The guru has be as a 2 pt. underdog with Dunn. Close enough play Dunn I think but value your opinions. [smiley=dog.gif]

St louis can probably get by just fine with Gordon/Canidate for a week, limiting Faulk's chances of seeing extended time if any. With a solid second choice such as Dunn, play it safe and get the surer points. I love upside plays, just don't see a whole lot of that in Faulk's case this week.

Dunn had a great game last week, plus he had 170 total yards and a TD last month against the Saints. The temptation is great to take a chance on Faulk, but it's just too risky.

Hmm... last year they rested him a game before the bye so he could get healthy, but this year they don't have that luxury as 1 loss could bump them from the playoffs.

My gut says he plays, but I don't have to decide until Monday Night cuz I've got Gordon/Trung as well.

It's a tough call, but if you've got to decide tonight play it safe and go with Dunn although I think Faulk has a 70% chance of starting.

Wish I had the luxury as I have Gordon in 2 leagues but the lineups have to be in by noon sunday.

With it being a Monday night game, you dont have the luxury of waiting until just before game time. He didnt practice today anyway. I'd go the safe route and play Dunn.
