What RB's to start week 1?

I have to start two of the following 4 rb's in my full point ppr league that gives a 5 point bonus at 100 yards rushing....

My choices are-
Knowshon Moreno vs Patriots
Arian Foster vs Redskins
Frank Gore vs Cowboys
and Ryan Mathews vs Cardinals... Which two should I start?

And I'll make it a unanimous 3 for 3 for Frank Gore and Arian Foster. Dallas and Washington both have relatively weak defenses and both Foster and Gore are the primary RB's with no obvious timeshare, unlike Moreno and Mathews (who, like Randall, I just don't like...if I were to go with a SD RB, especially in PPR, it'd be Woodhead).

Foster and Gore have relatively easy matchups and are the principal run options. Lamar Miller is still the starter in Miami and Matthews.....well I just don't like the guy.

i Feel foster has more of a ceiling but gore will be much safer. i feel foster is the better choice because hes a better receiver out the backfield.

On paper it's Gore/Foster, but correct if I'm wrong, has Foster even played 1 snap this preseason? I know that doesn't mean much in the case of guys like AP, but we're talking about a dude that's been hurt a lot lately. If I were in your shoes I'd lock up the HOU backfield and drop Moreno for Grimes, you're gonna need to do so at some point, might as well beat the league to it.

gore / foster ...the Skins are not great and i think Dallas went down to the local supermarket to grab some guys to help play on D
