How will Jamaal Charles do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Kansas City Chiefs
He's a top 5 RB for sure--reminds me of Chris Johnson. Only issue is Old Man Jones taking carries and TDs away. TJ had a pretty successful year despite Charles last season.
How will Darren McFadden do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Oakland Raiders
McFadden should be able to put up top 10 numbers this year! (possibly even top 5 ... if he can stay healthy)
How will Rashard Mendenhall do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers
If he can stay healthy (which hasn't been a problem the last couple years) Mendenhall should have a great year. He'll be the Steelers' clear workhorse so he'll have a chance to finish as a top 5 RB.
How will Lesean McCoy do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles
He'll have a great year, even with the addition of Ronnie Brown. Perfect for an Andy Reid offense.
How will Matt Forte do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Chicago Bears
I think top 10 RB this year... lots of points from the passing game of course. The Bears have talent at the skill positions if they can get improved play from the O-line they could be tough.
How will Maurice Jones-Drew do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Jacksonville Jaguars
He shouldn't improve or decline this year. Rashad Jennings gives slight concern but MJD will be MJD.
How will Ahmad Bradshaw do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, New York Giants
Bradshaw will have a huge year if he has solved his fumbling issues. He continues to improve dramatically.

He's rated about where he should be. The kid is a beast, but you have to worry about the time share with Thomas Jones who can still produce.

Who is a better draft pick: Peyton Hillis or Adrian Peterson?

Peterson, not really close. No one has been as consistently great at RB as AP.
Who is a better draft pick: Peyton Hillis or Jamaal Charles?
Asked in: Peyton Hillis, Jamaal Charles, Running Backs, Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs
I like Hillis a lot, but I think you gotta go Jamaal here. You have to worry about Thomas Jones but Jamaal will definitely get his.
Who is a better draft pick: Peyton Hillis or Chris Johnson?

Who is a better draft pick: Chris Johnson or Rashard Mendenhall?

Chris Johnson if he ends up playing, which is seemingly becoming a problem.
Who is a better draft pick: Chris Johnson or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles
Chris Johnson. McCoy is getting there but he doesn't have the ridiculous speed that Johnson has.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Rashard Mendenhall?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers
I'm real high on McFadden this year, so I'd take him over Mendy. More upside.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles
I like McFadden because it's pretty obvious that the Raiders are making commitment to both him and the run game as a whole. Looking at last season's game log, it's pretty clear that DMC was an 18-20 carry/game type of player, plus receptions, whereas McCoy is more of a 12-15 carry/game type of player. This is not a negligible difference, as I believe a healthy DMC will get 50 more carries (not touches) over the course of an entire season (say maybe 225 for LeSean, 275 for McFadden). Plus, it also bothers me about McCoy that so much of his production came via dumpoffs, which is nice, but is not something that is a good bet to be repeated.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons
I would say Turner, just because of his track record. Run DMC has huge upside but he is not as proven. You know what you're getting with Turner.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears

Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles
I like McCoy (especially in PPR) but there is slight concern with Ronnie Brown in Philadelphia. You pretty much know what you're going to get with Mendenhall.
Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons
Turner is perfect for hammering in TD's on the goal line. For fantasy, he picks up a lot of points in touchdowns as opposed to raw yardage. On the other hand, he often can have those break out runs. I would put my money on Turner over Mendenhall, who is better for the yardage, any day.
Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears
Forte, especially in PPR. He's been one of the only bright spots in the Bears offense the last few years.
Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens
Rice has more upside. Mendenhall is solid and will get tons of touches but Rice can give you the home run.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons
McCoy for sure in a PPR league but in a normal one I'd have to go with Turner. He'll score more than McCoy does.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears
Forte, but they are similar players. I would take anyone in the high-flying Eagles offense.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens
Hands down Ray Rice. I don't even think we need to discuss why.
Who is a better draft pick: Michael Turner or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears
A lot of people really like Matt Forte this year - including numberFire's draft kit! - but Turner is my choice here. He's a really safe choice.
Who is a better draft pick: Michael Turner or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens
Ray Rice is definitely more explosive and a better pass catcher. But I feel Turner is on a better, more balanced offense and gets a full work load every game. Turner is a better fantasy draft pick.

Asked in: Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars
Who is a better draft pick: Matt Forte or Maurice Jones-Drew?

Who is a better draft pick: Ray Rice or Maurice Jones-Drew?
Asked in: Ray Rice, Maurice Jones-Drew, Running Backs, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars
Ray Rice, although MJD has a bigger affinity for finding the endzone.

Who is a better draft pick: Cedric Benson or Ladainian Tomlinson?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Ladainian Tomlinson, Running Backs, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets
This is a tough question. Honestly I really would not pick anyone from the bengals until their issues get sorted out!! Without anyone at the QB position every week a brick wall will be waiting for Benson. Even with the brick wall though the Bengals might not have any choice but to use Benson as a workhorse. On the other hand you have LT who is the number 2 back in NY. With LT you have to worry about Shonne Greene getting most of the runs yet it is still important to mention LT will prob get around 600 yards and 5-8 touchdowns. In the end I think Benson will have a slightly better year then LT.
Who is a better draft pick: Cedric Benson or Knowshon Moreno?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Knowshon Moreno, Running Backs, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos
I'll go with Moreno. Benson is solid but with no QB or WR's to help pull any pressure off him he will be shut down this year.

Who is a better draft pick: Ladainian Tomlinson or Mike Tolbert?

Tolbert, he seems to be getting the nod in San Diego. Mathews failed a conditioning test.
Who is a better draft pick: Ladainian Tomlinson or Fred Jackson?
Asked in: Ladainian Tomlinson, Fred Jackson, Running Backs, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills
Fred Jackson, only because he is the top man in BUF right now. No one really knows what's going on in NY despite the rumors that Shonn will get 300 carries (although we heard that last season too).
Who is a better draft pick: Knowshon Moreno or Mike Tolbert?
Asked in: Knowshon Moreno, Mike Tolbert, Running Backs, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers
Knowshon for sure. John Fox should mean a much better running attack. Yes Willis will take away some TDs, but Knowshon should be putting up a ton of yards and big plays.
Who is a better draft pick: Knowshon Moreno or Frank Gore?
Asked in: Knowshon Moreno, Frank Gore, Running Backs, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers
Frank Gore is the better pick here. He should be a top 12 RB this year while Moreno will just make the top 25.

I personally like watching Woodhead play. There is something exciting about a little guy being so effective amongst much bigger guys. The fact that he is a flex receiver/running back adds more dimension to his game, especially since he is running with Brady's offense. I guess excitment is a relative term not necessarily indicative of fantasy points, but I take Woodhead in this one.

I laughed out loud at this. Jahvid Best is far more dynamic on the field. When I think of the two I think "how many times can you watch stock footage of a freight train running over stalled compact cars?" For me at least, the answer is Jahvid Best. The guys got crazy potential if he can stay healthy and watching him walk that line and beat guys in the open field with his box of tricks and power, knowing the next hit he takes might end his career with a concussion... pretty awesome. Tired of watching Jacobs steam roll defensive backs and throw tantrums.

Asked in: Ryan Torain, Tim Hightower, Running Backs, Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals
Hightower... solid ability plus he fumbles a bunch :) That's exciting if not good... Torain just gets hurt.

Who is a more exciting player: Jonathan Stewart or Ricky Williams?
Asked in: Jonathan Stewart, Ricky Williams, Running Backs, Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins
I don't think either one will get a lot of playing time by any means, but I think you have to go Ricky here.

Who is a more exciting player: Chris Ivory or Shonn Greene?
Asked in: Chris Ivory, Shonn Greene, Running Backs, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets
Totally agree with Steve. Shonn Greene should see an increased workload while Ivory will most likely ride the bench all season.
Who is a more exciting player: Chris Ivory or Ricky Williams?
Asked in: Chris Ivory, Ricky Williams, Running Backs, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins
Ricky Williams, but neither are going to have a huge impact this year.

Who is a more exciting player: Shonn Greene or Ricky Williams?
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Ricky Williams, Running Backs, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins
I think Ricky is more exciting, but everyone's talking about Shonn getting 300 carries this year (and doesn't look like Ricky will get much playing time).
Who is a more exciting player: Shonn Greene or Mike Goodson?
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Mike Goodson, Running Backs, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers
I hope not. I drafted Greene. He's getting a good vote of confidence from the coaches.
Who is a more exciting player: Shonn Greene or Rashad Jennings?
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Rashad Jennings, Running Backs, New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars
Rashad Jennings is way more exciting when he gets to start. But since he'll probably be sitting behind MJD most of the season, I expect Shonn Greene to produce better numbers.
Is Adrian Peterson overrated?
Asked in: Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings, Running Backs
You know, I only have him as my fourth or fifth best guy this year. His team is going to stink out loud and I just don't think he's going to perform like a top pick should.
I have the first overall pick. Who should I take?
Asked in: Arian Foster, Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Drafting, Running Backs
I'm always going with AP, but that's probably biased and unfair. numberFire, what do you think?
Will Chris Johnson get paid?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans, Running Backs
They will. He deserves the money and they don't have any other play-makers on offense.
Who will have the best year at RB Beanie Wells or Joseph Addai?
Asked in: Beanie Wells, Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals, Running Backs
If Kolb lives up to his hype instead of his 50/50, boom and bust, history then Beanie Wells could see Addai like success. But if the passing isn't there and they fall back on Beanie for way more touches than he can handle, with defenses gearing to force the pass, he'll probably falter. Again. I suppose the Colts situation is similar with Peyton's health up in the air, but Addai has proven himself. Beanie has proven himself less reliable. If I had to take a risk on a position player, I would take it elsewhere. I vote Addai for the bigger year.
With LeShoure out for the year is the any chance Jahvid Best has a big year?
Asked in: Jahvid Best, Running Backs, Detroit Lions
Of course there is a chance. Best will have every opportunity to succeed and could average at least 20 touches a game. Assuming, you know, that Best stays healthy. But that's always been the rub on Best, from college through the 2nd preseason game in 2011. Best is an excellent receiver out of the backfield and he's a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. Subtracting Mikel LeShoure from the Lions backfield might give Best a few more goal line touches, but it will also increase Best's workload, for better or worse.The Lions drafted LeShoure because they felt that Best would be most successfully utilized by limiting his touches to a certain extent. Odds are that Best is a very effective player when on the field, but he misses a few games. He might be an excellent "per-week average" player, but his chances of having a "big year" as far as overall totals go are limited. He's already been dinged up in the preseason and it's highly unlikely that Best can stay healthy enough to have that "big season".
Can Peyton Hillis repeat last season, or was it a fluke?
Asked in: Running Backs, Cleveland Browns, Peyton Hillis
I dont think he will have the numbers he did last year especially since the browns haven't even had all their starters play together yet. He will have a good year but prob will not be top 10 RB's
How great did Arian Foster look over the weekend? Damn.
Asked in: Houston Texans, Running Backs, Arian Foster
He made the Saints look like chumps... if he stays healthy looks like another big year on the way and me with zero #1 picks in any of my leagues... Rats !!!
Is Cedric Benson a candidate to be a bust?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Cincinnati Bengals, Running Backs
The guy has been all over the place. Well utilized, poorly utilized, great players around him, not so great players, injuries, coaching decisions. I would not count him a bust as he did pretty much win the division (in tandem with Carson Palmer) for the Bengals in 2009, but I think more than anything he will go down as a good utility guy if he doesn't make some noise this year. Another player with a high ceiling who never quite lived up for one reason or another.
Peyton Hillis or LaGarrette Blount?
Asked in: Peyton Hillis, LeGarrette Blount, Running Backs
Peyton Hillis, he can catch and run for days. Alstott 2.0
If Foster is out do you pick up Ward or Tate?
Asked in: Houston Texans, Running Backs, Arian Foster
Most sports sites are saying to go with Tate, but I heard the coach talking about putting in Ward because he is seasoned. Bottom line he wants to start the season with a Vet.
How far do you think Chris Johnson should slip in drafts?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Running Backs, Tennessee Titans

Who should I start as my RB2 Turner @CHI or Blount vs. DET?
Asked in: Running Backs, Michael Turner, LeGarrette Blount
I'd go Turner. Atlanta has more weapons so they'll likely be able to move the ball consistently. It would give Turner more scoring chances. Detroit's D-Line is pretty good and TB doesn't have all the options the Falcons do, so they might only walk away with a pair of TD's.
How many points do you think Ryan Grant will put up this week?

No answers yet! Jump on it and be the first.
Who is a better start: Beanie Wells or Tim Hightower?
Asked in: Beanie Wells, Tim Hightower, Running Backs
Tough Call, Beanie seems more proven, Hightower is the big sleeper. Go with your gut, but I would start Hightower. I think he has great potential, especially in this weeks match up.
Should I start Mike Tolbert or Ryan Grant this week and why?
Asked in: Ryan Grant, Mike Tolbert, Green Bay Packers, San Diego Chargers, Running Backs
I like Tolbert. He's won the battle from Mathews pretty handily from what I hear.
Will Maurice Jones-Drew play 14 games this year?
Asked in: Deji Karim, Running Backs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Maurice Jones-Drew
14 feels about right. I think that Karim is a great handcuff to have though. They're going to have to lean on the running game more now that Garrard is gone, so I expect MJD to get banged up.
In a PPR league which RB should I start this week? I have Peterson, Forte, and Steven Jackson.
Asked in: Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, Running Backs, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams
Hmm, Forte and Jackson are about equal in my book as well. I think I'd lean towards Forte.
Who do you feel is a better Flex option for week #1 - Fred Jackson or Tim Hightower?
Asked in: Fred Jackson, Tim Hightower, Running Backs, Washington Redskins, Buffalo Bills
Hightower by a mile. He avg over 6ypc during the preseason. The NYG defense has been decimated by injuries. Keep an eye on Justin Tuck, he is a little banged up as well. I also think BUF will be playing from behind all day, thus no carries for FJ.
Who should I start: Rashard Mendenhall or Tim Hightower?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Tim Hightower, Running Backs
Hightower looked awesome in Week 1. I think it totally depends on the matchup. Mendenhall will be good as long as the Steelers don't face a defense that knows them inside and out.
If Stephen Jackson is out for week 2, should I go with Reggie Bush or Sproles?
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Running Backs, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints
If you take a look at the numberFire player comparison, the projections aren't even close. Bush is supposed to take down 6 more fantasy points. Granted, that's standard Y! league format. Are you in a PPR, and/or do returns net you separate points?
Shonn Greene a bust or what? Got Jordy Nelson waiting in the wings...
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Jordy Nelson, Running Backs, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets
Hmm. Maybe too early to call him a bust, but I would definitely consider starting Jordy Nelson at the flex. He's the WR2 in a very, very potent offense.
Who do I start in my flex spot, Chris Johnson (vs. BAL), Fred Jackson (vs. OAK) or Steve Smith (vs. GB)?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Fred Jackson, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Running Backs
Gotta go CJ2K, despite the matchup. Oakland is a fierce defense, and I don't think Steve Smith can replicate last week. I might consider trading him.
Is there any reason not to drop Thomas Jones? (non-ppr)
Asked in: Thomas Jones, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Lesean McCoy, Mike Tolbert, Arian Foster, Danny Woodhead, Larry Fitzgerald, Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward, Michael Crabtree, Nate Burleson, Ricky Williams, Dexter McCluster, Jordy Nelson
There is no reason not to drop him. I was forced to drop him last week after the Manning injury. I would pick up Jordy to secure your WR as your RBs are already pretty stacked.
Start Hillis or Benson? I don't think Hillis will put up the numbers he did last year overall, but he is a tempting play against that Indy defence.
Asked in: Peyton Hillis, Cedric Benson, Running Backs
I'd go Hillis this week. They're going to run the ball non-stop against Indy.
Tolbert, Blount, or Bush?
Asked in: Mike Tolbert, LeGarrette Blount, Reggie Bush, Running Backs
Haha, thanks for the tags, Andrew. I actually it'd be an infinitely higher percentage of tags, since you're dividing by zero, but whatever. :)
Do I start a banged up Arian Foster or a healthy Jahvid Best who is playing a really weak K.C. Defense?
Asked in: Arian Foster, Jahvid Best, Running Backs, Running Backs
Great question, Josh. I still say stick with Foster. Best is way too inconsistent for my blood.

Three Positions, 1 RB/WR flex, 1RB, 1 WR...who should I start?
Asked in: Ahmad Bradshaw, Cedric Benson, Kenny Britt, Jordy Nelson, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
Should I trade Brandon Jacobs for Ryan Mathews?
Asked in: Ryan Mathews, Brandon Jacobs, San Diego Chargers, New York Giants, Running Backs
Yeah, I'd rather have Mathews. He gets way more touches (both carries and receptions). With Jacobs you are praying for a TD every week.
how will things shake out in the Washington RB situation? helu had a nice second half on sunday, and shanahan is notorious for RBBC...does hightower maintain starter value or no?
Asked in: Tim Hightower, Roy Helu, Washington Redskins, Running Backs
I think it will end up close to an even split between the two under Shanahan. I wouldn't think either of the guys are better options than flex plays.
Who should I play Frank Gore or Ben Tate?
Asked in: Frank Gore, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Running Backs
Gore's the safe bet. If you need to make a risk play, Ben Tate could have high reward. I shy away from the risky type but they occasionally payoff.
Which one of my WR should I drop? Braylon Edwards (or wait the injury) and/or Pierre Garcon for CJ Spiller and/or Roy Helu? I could Waiver Budget for both of them or just one. It is a dynasty league so it might be smart to try to get both of them.

Should I drop Braylon Edwards and/or Pierre Garcon?
Asked in: Pierre Garcon, Braylon Edwards, C.J. Spiller, Roy Helu, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
I think I'd definitely drop Braylon, I don't see a lot of value in his right now. I'd keep Pierre though, and pick up Helu.
Fred Jackson or Jahvid Best?
Asked in: Fred Jackson, Jahvid Best, Running Backs
I think Best is your man. He's a great running threat who's also a part of the passing game of a high-powered offense. Fred Jackson's good, but he probably won't see that many touches if the Bills fall behind the Patriots - a likely scenario.
Is Chris Johnson going to redeem himself this week?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Running Backs, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos
What is the latest on Beanie
Asked in: Tony Romo, Beanie Wells, Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys
From NBC Sports: Asked if he’ll be at full speed for the Seahawks game, Wells said, “Yeah, definitely.”Wells left Thursday’s practice early after feeling tightness in his hamstring, and on Friday he was limited. But all indications are that the Cardinals were just being careful with Wells, and he can go today.
R. Bush or Hardesty at flex in PPR?
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Montario Hardesty, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Running Backs
Now that we know Hillis isn't playing, I would roll with Hardesty.
Trade Ray Rice?
Asked in: Ray Rice, Cedric Benson, Brandon Marshall, Kenny Britt, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
Can you get Nate Washington or Amendola? I'd probably not do that trade, sounds like they are squeezing you. You can probably patch this week with Steve Smith (PHI) or Bess something like that. What's your RB situation? I usually want to have only RBs in flex if possible. Benson is 3 games out so that's already a problem.
Is there more injuries this year or is it just happing to my players ??? If so is it because of the lockout?
Asked in: Wide Receivers, Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Tight Ends
Chris Johnson clearly didn't take care of himself, but really, what player has come back from holding out and just killed it?
Should I start Woodhead or Ladainian Tomlinson in the W/R position? PPR League. Thanks for any input...
Asked in: Danny Woodhead, Ladainian Tomlinson, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
I think LT is the more consistent option, especially in a close game against Baltimore
Looks like Daniel Thomas is out this week (#4)... any chance I can get solid points out of Reggie Bush in a .5 PPR league?
Asked in: Running Backs, Daniel Thomas, Reggie Bush, Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers
Absolutely. I don't think Bush is a great player overall but I think this week is as good of a week as any for him to drop 10
Anyone got any inside info on Beanie today? I hate "game time" decisions...
Asked in: Running Backs, Beanie Wells, Arizona Cardinals
Everything I've heard on Beanie says that he's going to play today.
If Beanie does play would you go with him or Reggie Bush in a Flex spot?
Asked in: Beanie Wells, Reggie Bush, Running Backs, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins
Everything I've read says Beanie's going to play, and, yeah, I'd probably go with him over Reggie.
there's tons of noise about ridley. why's he so gaddang special?
Asked in: Stevan Ridley, Running Backs, Frank Gore, Mike Tolbert, Adrian Peterson
for the moment because he is on the patriot's,and in taking over Woodheads spot while he is injured and he is getting more touches than Green-Ellis
Should I start Jahvid Best or Isaac Redman?
Asked in: Jahvid Best, Isaac Redman, Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers, Running Backs
Jahvid because he will end up getting thrown to not a lot of running yards though
Which four?
Asked in: Dwayne Bowe, DeSean Jackson, Beanie Wells, Darren McFadden, Jeremy Maclin, Isaac Redman, Steve Johnson, Mark Ingram, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
Stevie and Desean for the first two. I don't like Beanie as much as everyone else does, I say Redman.
Will Daniel Thomas play in week 6? Should I start Deangelo Williams or Daniel Thomas?
Asked in: Daniel Thomas, Deangelo Williams, Running Backs
If Thomas is healthy, I would go with him. Williams had a good game, but he is still only getting 10 touches a game, while Thomas is getting a full workload.
Would you trade Pierre Garcon and Cedric Benson for Matt Forte?
Asked in: Pierre Garcon, Cedric Benson, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Wide Receivers
Who to start in a standard league - Jahvid Best or Earnest Graham?
Asked in: Jahvid Best, Earnest Graham, Running Backs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions
Earnest Graham vs. NO!! SF is best against RB's so far.. And they have the speed to cover Best in the flats as well.
Plaxico, Ryan Grant, Pierre Thomas... Need to pick 2 4 ppr league
Asked in: Plaxico Burress, Pierre Thomas, Ryan Grant, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
since it's ppr I'd roll with Grant since it's an easy match-up and Thomas.. guaranteed touches!
Who do you like in week #6: Delone Carter or Deangelo Williams?
Asked in: Delone Carter, Deangelo Williams, Running Backs, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts
For some reason, I like Deangelo Williams more only because he has rushed for 197 yards on 19 carries in the past two games. So, just due to that fact I would start him.
For a flex spot, and a WR 2 position, which of these three should I start today?
Asked in: Jordy Nelson, Pierre Garcon, Cedric Benson, Running Backs, Wide Receivers
Benson and Garcon... you got to go with a solid RB in the flex and I think you have to go with Garcon's upside.
Who's picking up Maurice Morris? What do you think the short/long term payoff could be with Best's history of concussions?
Asked in: Maurice Morris, Detroit Lions, Running Backs, Jahvid Best
He's definitely worth a pickup. Some reports say Best is considering ending his season to avoid any more chances of a concussion, other sources say he's probable for this Sunday. Either way, Morris is without a doubt worth a bench slot the rest of your season. (In deep leagues Keiland Williams is worth a look as well).
Want to pick up Hardesty .. who to drop? Tate, Grant or DeA Williams?
Asked in: Ryan Grant, Deangelo Williams, Montario Hardesty, Running Backs
Who to start, Jstewart or Tolbert?
Asked in: Running Backs, Mike Tolbert, Jonathan Stewart
both against good D's, I like Stewart! Mathews has been on a terror as of late and I don't know how Tolbert's head will do this week.. He's prime for concussions the way he runs.
Who to start in .5 PPR (Graham, Hardesty, Battle, Addai)
Asked in: Earnest Graham, Montario Hardesty, Joseph Addai, Maurice Jones-Drew, Steven Jackson, Running Backs
I like Battles match-up better than the rest!! And he will get a good workload.
Is Chris Johnson going to turn it around this year?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Running Backs, Trading
Very hard to say. You're right on all accounts, I just don't know how to proceed. He never really looked like the type of guy who was going to be taking care of himself during his hold out and voila, he didn't. Maybe see how things are looking after their bye week.
Maurice Morris, LeGarrette Blount, DeMarco Murray, or Mike Tolbert?
Asked in: Maurice Morris, LeGarrette Blount, DeMarco Murray, Mike Tolbert, Running Backs
I don't really like Blount's schedule later on in the season but they will need him desperately and he should be healthy after their bye week. Murray is great but only for a few weeks. Tolbert as long as he stays healthy will remain the red-zone option on that team!! Don;t like Morris.Detroit hasn't been a good run team all season, and it seems Morris isn't as involved with the passing game where Best received all his points! you have to go with Blount or Tolbert!! especially since both of their QB's are struggling badly!
Mike Vick and Jimmy Graham for Tony Romo and Ray Rice
Asked in: Michael Vick, Tony Romo, Jimmy Graham, Ray Rice, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Tight Ends
I don't like it unless you're desperate and have a suitable back up TE. Graham is winning leagues for people right now with his production at TE (think Antonio Gates) and Vick is a sell low.
Need to pick one RB. Jackie Battle vs. SD, Bernard Scott @ SEA, Maurice Morris @ DEN?
Asked in: Running Backs, Bernard Scott
Ryan Mathews or Darren Sproles this week?
Asked in: Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, Running Backs
flip the coin - both will have big days - i'm going with Mathews.
With Thomas out, is Bush a starter this week?
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas, Miami Dolphins, Running Backs
I'd say at the Flex position yeah, I'm starting him over Maurice Morris.
Bernard Scott or Jackie Battle
Asked in: Running Backs, Bernard Scott
Battle. He's KCs #1 with over 70yds/gm and finally a score after last night. Scott should see limited action with the return of Benson from suspension.
Should I trade
Asked in: Michael Bush, Running Backs
In the long run Battle is the better option! I can only see McFadden missing this weeks game if any at all! I think I would
Which 3 should I start? Shonn Greene, Ray Rice, Demarco Murray, and Cedric Benson
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Ray Rice, DeMarco Murray, Cedric Benson, Running Backs
Pick 3 - B. Wells, C. Benson, D. Murray, M. Tolbert, W. McGahee, P. Garcon?
Asked in: Running Backs
I like Wells and Murray. I would see how well Tolbert is doing in practice though. Is he being limited or participating in a full practice. He will be there only back, but he does get injured in almost every game. I rate them like this, Wells, Murray, Tolbert, McGahee, Benson then Garcon! Reason Garcon isn't higher is because I believe Rb's are better for Flex.
PPR league, need to suit up one more along side Fred Jackson, who to go with? Ogbonnaya, Daniel Thomas or Ryan Mathews
Asked in: Running Backs, Daniel Thomas, Ryan Mathews
Matthews is looking like he's gonna sit this week, and D Thomas is a question mark as well. It seems crazy that a guy that was cut from a practice squad a few weeks ago might be the best option, but Ogbonnaya looks like to be the best start of these three this week.
What should I expect from Ryan Torain over the rest of the season?
Asked in: Ryan Torain, Washington Redskins, Running Backs
I still see much of the same from him facing SF!! It will be a miracle if he tromps that Run D
McGahee or Murray
Asked in: Willis McGahee, DeMarco Murray, Running Backs
Wow! This week I think both will get you mad points as both are facing good match-ups for Rb's. I am leaning towards Murray thought since I feel Felix will miss out on this week again. But truly think both are good options. Go with your gut or flip a coin!
Pick 3 - W. McGahee, D. Murray, M. Tolbert, C. Benson, B. Wells, J. Best?
Asked in: Running Backs
McGahee, Murray and I guess Tolbert. I wouldn't worry about Jones returning. He may take some touches away from Murray but in those few games Murray has played, he has out preformed Felix in every aspect of the game. I also think Felix will miss this game as well. As for Mtehws return He will return to getting more touches but only on mid field and 1st and 2nd down. Tolbert has been there 3rd down back and red-zone back. That won't change. Only problem is they are both injury prone Rb's
trade - was offered Demarco Murray and Helu for Blount and Battle. Fair?
Asked in: Running Backs
I would look at their schedules first. Dallas has a very easy schedule and although I don't like Helu, Murray has been a beast and that won't slow down even when Felix returns. Dallas has a thing about injury prone Rb's. They Don't like them!! That's why they dropped Barber and released Choice. TB does not have that easy of a schedule going forward and Kc's is even harder!
Roddy White @NO, BJGE @NYJ, or Blount vHou
Asked in: Roddy White, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, LeGarrette Blount, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
I like White best (shootout, NO not great vs. WRs), Blount, then BJGE.
Gotta play 2 of the 3. Battle vs. DEN, Mo Morris @ CHI or C. Benson vs. PIT. Non-PPR. Thanks!
Asked in: Running Backs, Maurice Morris, Cedric Benson
DJ Ware, Kendall Hunter, Lance Ball - which 2 would you play?
Asked in: Kendall Hunter, Lance Ball, Running Backs
I might go Ware and Ball pending on Gore's situation. But I see Gore playing for most of the game.
Is there a chance Jahvid Best will be worthy of starting again this year?
Asked in: Jahvid Best, Detroit Lions, Running Backs
Have to pick three out of - Demarco, Kevin Smith, Reggie Bush, Beanie Wells, Helu and Brandon Lloyd. Advice? Thanks.
Asked in: Running Backs, Wide Receivers
Go for Smith, DeMarco, and Lloyd. they each will play big roles for their teams, and will have great opportunity for lots of points.
Darren Sproles or Brandon Marshall
Asked in: Brandon Marshall, Miami Dolphins, Darren Sproles, New Orleans Saints, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
Marshall feels more consistent, although Sproles is dynamic. I'll say Marshall. Remember to answer a few questions for each one you ask!
Who is more valuable: Marion Barber or Brandon Jacobs?
Asked in: Marion Barber, Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw, Matt Forte, Running Backs
At this point in the season, it would be Barber. He has the momentum with Forte out, whille Jacobs has the disadvantage with Bradshaw coming back and some not so great matchups.

Multi-League Strategy: Playing against CJ2K and Reggie Bush in one, have them in the other?
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Chris Johnson, Maurice Morris, Running Backs
Interesting scenario, but I think you should always go with the best lineup. I don't think Reggie Bush has a huge upside, but he is a better play than Morris. Bush, in my opinion, won't beat you in the other league, but he will get you guaranteed points in the league where you are favored big. Those points are important if one of your guys flops or one of his goes off.
V-jax, jordy, dez b, or beanie? Which 3 would you play in a flex league?
Asked in: Vincent Jackson, Jordy Nelson, Dez Bryant, Beanie Wells, Wide Receivers, Running Backs, San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys
VJax, Jordy and Dez. I would rahter say Beanie over Dez, but he's facing SF!

Who should I start at flex/WR?
Asked in: Willis McGahee, Toby Gerhart, Santonio Holmes, Julio Jones, Andre Johnson, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
McGahee is a good option. I would rather play Julio ahead of Holmes, He has a much better match-up against TB. Even if Andre plays it will be to a limited snap count. I would also start Bell ahead of Willis if Barber is out again though. Him facing Min is the better match-up
