I'd go with Rudi.  Pittman still hasn't shown that he can be a #1 RB, whereas Rudi has shown glimpses (mostly last year, but a couple times this year).

i actually just read that chris perry might get some touches this week. Im leaning towards pittman just because every 10yds i get a point and pittman could rack up some rec yards

I think I'd go with Pittman.   The dallas run defense isn't that bad, I don't think.  TB plays KC this week right?   not exactly a powerhouse defensive team.

i'd lean towards Rudi only because if KC blows up like they did the last 2 weeks Tampa wont be running the ball much.

i think Cin/Dal game will be more of a close contest meaning more work for the RB's.

KC [smiley=eagle.gif] [smiley=eagle.gif]  Go Eagles!

Kansas City defense is ranked 15th against the rush (yards) and Dallas is ranked 25th.

I stand corrected.  I knew Dallas' D had taken a plunge but worse than KC?   wow, that's pretty bad.

play pittman....reason for KC good run D is jus the numbers....basically KC gets ahead and teams start passing.....tampa bays defense is underrated not to mention every RB on KC is dinged up a bit and how many more points can they score again....i am sure pittman will have a better week....but i also think rudi will have a good week along with palmer and chad johnson...

I say Pittman.  Alstott is out, KC Def is banged up, KC is not good on D on the road, receiving backs do well against KC lately.

For Rudi, true, DAL gives up good yards per carry, CIN is at home where they are better.  BUT - The Cowboy pass D is AWFUL.  I think CHAD Johnson will have the day, not Rudi.

I'm starting Pittman wherever I have him.

I like Pittman to have a good week vs. KC. He's the feature back and KC's D isn't that great.

Since this seems to be almost just a poll as it is somewhat hard to make a really convincing objective argument either way,... I will throw my [smiley=twocents.gif] in for Rudi.  He's just more "established", if such can be said of either of these guys.

Looks like I underestimated Pittman.  He's a guy I just can't figure out.  Rudi had an OK day rushing, but missed out on the TDs.

i guess i was wrong leaning towards Rudi, but its a good thing i played Pittman in the one league i have him.

;D

hope you did the same ?.?.?

NOT ONLY DID I START RUDI , BUT I ALSO STARTED JEFF WILKENS IN FAVOR OF STOVER, I ALSO STARTED WESTBROOK INSTEAD OF WHEATLEY AND BENCHED S.MOSS IN FAVOR OF K.COLBERT.  PROBALLY THE WORST DECISIONS I HAVE EVER MADE ON A SUNDAY BEFORE
