I was in the same situation last year with 2 of Shanahans RB's. I should have learned my fricken lesson with that azzhat.
Young rips off a 20 yard carry on his first touch at Houston, so what does Shanahan do-- he puts Henry in!?? Will that idiot ever let a RB get into the grove--of course not. At the expense of winning the fricken game he's worried about giving equal opportunity to his RB's so he can use them as tradebait later in the year, which I could understand if they were'nt in the playoff race.
That azzhat in all likelyhood has cost me a big win this week.
Moral of the story--DONT EVER EVER EVER GET A FANTASY RB THAT PLAYS FOR SHANAZZHAT
3 years straight I have had Denver RB's. They are like heroine to me no pun intended. I'm an idiot. I won't draft one again period. I have Selvin in my playoff game and have a whoping 9.8 points vs Elam who has 9.
I almost switched him out for a WR but I have had bad luck deviating from my instinct this year. Started the season with LJ, Henry, Deuce, ADP, Julius Jones and some other guy I dropped. Now I am relying on ADP and Keving Jones as my top 2 rb's.

I have vowed never to take a Denver RB again, since I got caught up in that whole Tatum Bell, Reuben Droughns, Mike Anderson scandle. Looks like its happening again. I get the sneaking suspicion Travis Henry won't be around next year, but Andre Hall will be. I hate you Mike.
I started Selvin over Jacobs and FWP, neither of who I trust (expecting good defense and bad weather in PA, and seeing what that's done to FWP this year).
This is bad. That game was within reach, and all they needed was a bit of run support. You knew it was going to get worse, as the lead widened in the second half.
The worst part about it, is that you know FWP or Jacobs will have a big game, just like the RB2s you guys could have played. And you watch your championship fizzle away. SUX.
I agree. Shanahan is an evil little red-faced Irish troll scumbag.
I had Selvin Young in that first amazing outing. Silly me thought that might happen again and Henry would be mostly benched or suspended outright. Nope. ShanaHag decides to share the ball, thus relegating both RBs to almost no production at all.
Now I know why my gf hates Denver and places hexes on them weekly.
