Barber or Rice?

Postby DallasFan85 » Sun Oct 04, 2009 6:51 am

Starting Marion Barber is seemingly becoming more of a risk; do I go with Ray Rice here? I also have Marshawn Lynch, but I doubt he will be of much use this week. Will return help guys :).

Qb: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan
Rb: Matt Forte, Marion Barber, Marshawn Lynch, Ray Rice
Wr: Andre Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, Chad Ochocinco, Desean Jackson, Kevin Walter

Barber might be playing but it's his first game back and Dallas wil more thna likely ease him into the role. I see Choice getting the bulk of the yardage, with Barber maybe playing mostly in the red. Rice is a multi-faceted weapon who can get yards on the ground or in the air. The Ravens plan on utilizing a heavy run offense against NE.

Go with Rice (& Forte).

I'd think about taking a shot with Lynch this week. Coming back on fresh legs with Jauron saying how much he wants to get him the ball. Probably Rice second and I'd give Barber an extra week to make sure he's healthy.

So I'd go Forte and Lynch.

Good luck

I agree with Lynch, you need to see how Buffalo use their RB's, which I think it will be an even split. Barber has more upside but has a bit of a cloud over him. Rice has been steady, which I think is the safe option.

Personally Id start Barber but Im a Cowboys fan so slightly biased.
