Best RB2 Matchup?

0.5 PPR league, starting Frank Gore vs CHI as RB1. Looking for the best RB2 matchup this week among the following: Shonn Greene vs STL, Daniel Thomas vs BUF, Jonathan Stewart vs TB or James Starks vs DET.

Tough call, but I think Shonn Greene has the best chance of putting up points. All the other RBs mentioned are in timeshares and it's even harder to predict production. Despite the Jets anemic offense, most of the problems lie with Sanchez and not with the running game. At least you know Shonn Greene is going to get touches, and IF the Jets make it to the red zone, Rex Ryan has got to be tired of Sanchez's league leading red zone turnovers, so I would expect a heavy dose of Green.

Sorry missed the PPR part. That makes it a lot tougher. Nix Daniel Thomas and James Stark, but Jonathan Stewart suddenly becomes a lot more relevant. Just checked and surprisingly Stewart only has two more catches than Greene (although he has done a lot more with them in space than Greene has). Wouldn't count on Stewart getting a lot more receptions than Greene (at least not enough to win you the game). Think I would still go with Greene, but if you want to play a hunch that Stewart will grab a TD, go for it

Agreed with you on Greene getting more touches, but the prospect of Daniel Thomas getting a larger role (with Bush's recent fumble troubles) against a poor Buffalo D has me thinking that might be a good choice too...
