Title: RB Help - Tied for first place

Hi

I am in a performance league and am in the playoffs tied for first. My line up is ok, except at running back.

Scoring is as follows:

My only (possible) suggestion,... I might consider going with Moulds over R. Smith or Branch. I think Rod is the guy you should pull. With the revolving-door approach to running backs of Shanahan's and Jake's having become more of a game manager than a gun slinger, I, and I am saying this as a Broncomaniac, [smiley=broncofan.gif] do not think there is any single player,... bachelor that is, that would like to style you, Janet, one of our Double G's, Gorgeous Gridironettes, with some rock-solid fantasy action :-* here Week 17 than good old Rod,... [smiley=joker.gif] [smiley=rollinwithlaughter.gif] but, seriously, on the other hand, I also do not think there is any single player, any one player that is, ;) that means more to the Broncos offense than Rod Smith. He is what makes their whole passing game click. As such, I expect Shanahan to give him little PT in this week's meaningless game, preserving him for their playoff run. I think this is way more the case than it is for Branch and the Patriots, so I would play Moulds over Smith.

Good luck! [smiley=shamrock.gif] And, finally, please consider giving just a little back to help keep the site FREE... from both membership fees and an annoying deluge of ads... :) Click the link below:

tough one, but I have to agree wth Steg on the moulds move. i don't like to see Moulds on the bench with Holcomb starting. the two are totally clicking.

do you have a shot? of course! boomer accent:that's why they play the games!

but you're definitely the underdog. edge will play little, and Steve Smith could cancel out 2 of your WRs easy. I think you'll need a BIG day from Lewis, and a BIGGER day from your QB.

Who is your QB BTW? See 2 are bolded. I'm assuming you're going with Brady? Check the weather. if there's wind, I wouldn't be afraid to go with Big Ben vs. a terrible Lions team.

Good luck!

Hi,

Thanks for your info. In my league we start two qb's (one of which is a flex position), 2 rb's, 3 wr's, 1 pk, and 1 def. That is the typical line up.

I am trying to pick up Dominick Rhodes right now as we speak and IF I get him I would start Rhodes and Lewis. What do you think about that?

Moulds over Rod Smith? Hmmmm interesting.

The way I listed our line up is who is actively playing for us this week.

i like moulds this week....he has been steady with nearly 100 yds with holcomb at qb. the rbs are a bit more dicey.

it may be a toss up between james and rhodes if you are able to make the pickup.

good luck! [smiley=duel.gif]
