Maurice Hicks

Now that Hicks is going to start Tommorow is anyone going to start him this week? I think he has potential for a monster game. I am alone in this opinion?

Arizona's defense is not even close to Washington's defense. They only allow 85 yards a game on the ground, whereas Arizona gives up 142 a game. That's a heck of a difference.

I see a return to the Barlow suckfest type numbers that SF has been getting most of the year. If the Niners want to win this game, it'll have to be through the air.

I agree with Mercer.

Why would you expect a monster game from a guy with torn rib cartlidge facing one of the best defenses in the league.

As a last result go with him but only as a last result.

Hicks could be just the guy to put a dent in the Washington defense on Sunday. Don't underestimate the effectiveness of fresh legs late in the season. Hicks has only started 1 game, and has less than 50 carries under his belt for the entire season. Everyone else is in week 15 dealing with minor injuries, fatigure, mental slowdown, etc. etc., and Hicks is fresh.

This is also a game that should be totally unpredictable in scoring. Neither team has been consistent at any point in the season and this game could easily turn into a shootout. I wouldn't necessarily want to start Hicks this week, but I think he could be a sneaky start if you have no other options at RB#2 or as a flex player.
