I drafted Turner in Round 1, and Mendenhall in Round 11, traded Darren McFadden for Slaton, and picked up Coffee off waivers. I'm leaning towards Mendenhall & Turner, I guess.

PPR, 12-team league.

Michael Turner @ SF

Steve Slaton @ AZ

Rashard Mendenhall @ DET

Glen Coffee vs. ATL

Thanks in advance for any help! Leave a link, & I'll respond to yours!

id do Turner, and i think i would do mendenhall for this week. just cause its the lions. after this week though i think teams will catch on too him and he will be shut down easily. only reason id say play him this week is because its the lions and i think that speaks for itself.

this is a really tough call.

you start turner because you don't sit him. not yet at least.

this is a toss up.

i guess you have to go with mendenhall because he was much better than coffee last week.

Turner & Mendenhall for sure.

I FWP is likely going to sit again, but hey at least this is a good problem you have. HOU's run blocking has been terrible up to this point - which is why I go Mendenhall @ DET over Slaton as well. Benching Michael Turner isn't even an option in my opinion.

I'd also have to say Turner and Mendenhall. You just can't sit Turner! It looks like Willi Parker is still in a lot of pain, even if he starts Mendenhall should get the bulk of the carries...and he IS playing against the Lions.

Turner for sure, and then probably Mendenhall (as others have said)

I'd go Mendenhall and Coffee..

I'm an Atlanta fan and love Turner. However, don't be afraid to bench someone you drafted in the first round, I do it all the time. About this time of year it's time to start looking at matchups and face it, sometimes 1st round guys aren't living up to expectations for their draft position. I put Turner in this category. For me, it's all about the wins. This week, I'm actually benching Turner (1st round) for Moreno (12th round) based on matchup.

In a PPR league, Coffee is more valuable than Turner

Just my opinion and I've been known to be wrong before..

Nobody thinks that Slaton deserves a shot,since it's a PPR league?

I'd go with Mendenhall and Slaton

I was going to say Slaton anyway, not just because you mentioned it.
