Title: WDIS? Bad RBs on a 16 team league
Post by bgsgfan on Sep 3^rd, 2003, 8:54pm

OK, here are my choices for RB2 in a 16 team league: Onterrio Smith vs GB, Buckhalter vs. TB, Bryson vs Ari. I am leaning towards Onterrio Smith, but its real close. Standard scoring.

I would play BuckHalter. Tough against Tampa, but, they are not going to give the ball to Deuce too much. He SHOULD get the most carries of the 3.

Tough one... but I agree with DD... Buck will get more carries than Duce this week because of the holdout and the Eagles will probably want to try to control the clock as much as they can.

I like Onterrio better, but not this week. Moe Williams will get most of the carries this week and Minnesota might be throwing the ball more to play catchup...

Hmmm...I too would go with CB, but by a slim margin over Bryson and Smith.

Go with quality over sitch here, especially considering Gilbert Brown is suitin' up... Go with Buck!

Thanks. You guys convinced me, I'll start Buckhalter.

Apparently Gilbert Brown is also singing the National Anthem for tonight's game... err, no, wait... that's Aretha Franklin - I always get those two confused.

Don't knock Aretha that way. I don't care for soul music, with the exception of Aretha Franklin. She is right up there at the top of my all-time favorite singers.

If you can still change lineups on Sunday morning, I'd wait until making your final decision. If Bryson gets a green light and is reported to be 100% healthy, I'd go with him over Buck. I don't think Buck can get more than 50 or 60 total yards vs. Tampa Bay, and that's if he gets all the touches.

I'd go with Bryson if he's 100% and named the starter. If not, like everyone else I say go with Buck.

If you've gotta decide in the next 5 minutes, go with Buck.
