Title: Which RBs should I start?
Post by PrimeTime on Sep 19^th, 2003, 2:40pm

I need some help from the experts here at The Gridiron...

Here are my RB's:

1) R. Williams
2) S. Davis (Bye this week)
3) S. Mack
4) L. Gordon
5) S. Bryson

I need to start three this week. Scoring is 6pts TD, 1 pt per 10 yards, 1 pt per recption.

Obviously I am starting Williams but who should be my other two starters?

Mack - He gets most of the carries and stands the best chance to score a TD this week, but Houston plays KC and I am worried they will get blown out and Mack will not get any 2nd half touches

Gordon - He is now the starting FB so he should play more, but will he even see the ball?

Bryson - I guess he will split carries in Detroit this week and Mouch said they need to run the ball more.

What do you guys think?

FYI: This is an auction league where we drafted two weeks befor the season and I took Bettis thinking he would see some action, but I was wrong and decided to cut my losses. Now I have a real RB problem. I am strong at WR starting Harrison, Moulds, D. Jackson with Heap as my TE so I don't need killer stats from my RB's. Normally Williams and Davis give me good production, but with Davis on Bye this week I need to be smart with my other starters.

I think you really have to leave Gordon out. He is the only one who you know is not guaranteed to get some touches (he might, but he may get zero). At least Mack and Bryson will get some opportunities, and since you don't need your RBs to be stellar, some points are better than no points.

Don't use gordon. But definately hang on to him.
Colasteeler hit it right on the head.

Just one thing to add. Don't cut gordon. As a M. Faulk fantasy owner for the last 5 years. He tends to miss a few games. And it seems whoever fills in puts up huge numbers in his absence. I feel the reason is they know with just that little exposure that they can sometimes get a nice free agent signing bonus.

i.e. in the past think Scott Mitchell (what 4 good weeks filling in for Marino ='s lots of money from Detroit)

I think this is the ONLY way to go. They are the only ones listed as #1 on the depth chart. Gordon would be a huge risk to play.
