Title: WDIS: a bunch of terrible RBs
Post by bgsgfan on Sep 9^th, 2004, 1:35pm

OK, I'll get in on the WDIS party. This is a fun one. Because of bad decisions and injuries, I am left with the following RBs:
Brian Westbook
Quentin Griffin
William Green
Travis Minor
Moe Williams
Garrison Hearst
Michael Bennett (out)
Kevin Faulk (out)

I need to start 3 of them, and I am playing against 2 of the top 3 teams (IMO) in the GBRFL2. Westbrook is a no-brainer. I am sold on QGriff at least for this week. If Suggs doesn't play, I like WGreen. TMinor has been named the starter, but I don't really believe it. Moe will be splitting time with OSmith. Hearst is probably the worst of the 3 Denver options.

tough tough tough! decision there!
I have become a fan of W.Green and think he wants to prove something while he can and while Suggs is out of action EVEN though against the tough Bal. D!

Westbrook and Griffin for sure then for the third it comes to Green, Williams, and Minor.

I think I would have to go with Green. Williams is the starter but Smith I believe will get most of the carries in Minny. The Miami RB situation is a mess and Tenn D is tough on the run as well.

I don't know when your lineups are due but I would just watch Suggs and if he isn't going to play I would go with Green. If it looks like he is going to play I would go with Williams and just hope he gets some goaline carries.

Unfortunately, I can't wait. Rosters are due by kickoff tonight.

I just got a call and I have to go in to work ASAP. Will go with Green and hope. Thanks for comments!

I agree with Westbrook & Q, but disagree on Green. No way am I starting a RB of that caliber vs BAL. You gotta go with Moe Williams IMO. He'll still have a good chance of vulturing goal-line carries for a cheap TD. I don't see Green getting more than 45 yds, no scores.

Hope you get this before you have to finalize.

I would go with Westbrook (obviously), Griffin and Williams, who should still get plenty receiving stats and have a decent chance at some touchdowns. Good luck! [smiley=shamrock.gif]

BWB, QG, and Moe. Even though Green looks appealing as a fill-in for Suggs (assuming that is what happens - nothing official yet), he is facing a Raven defense that won't give him many fantasy points. At least Moe will get some endzone opportunities as Dallas will give up some yards through the air setting up a short goal-line plunge or two.
