RB Help!!! Barber, McFadden, Rice, Hightower...

Postby Smoakland Hammer » Mon Aug 31, 2009 2:21 pm

Right now I'm slated to start Barber and Run DMC.. Should I consider starting Rice right off the bat? Or shall I wait to see what he does??? Is McFadden gonna blow up?

I would reluctantly say go with Rice. Both of them are stuck in a RB by committee situation, but the difference is that Rice will be playing KC which is looking like a train wreck right now offensively, which means the Ravens will be playing from ahead and rushing more to run down the clock, while the Raiders are playing the Chargers, whom they have been beaten by 11 times in a row now, so chances are that they'll be playing from behind and throwing the ball more than theyre running it.

I see Dmc being the person on the team with the most catches this season.

I'd go with Rice and see how the carries breakdown in OAK. Rice will have more guaranteed touches imo.

I think Dmc is gonna blow up this year and I think Rice has better rbs around him to take carries away it was a shame to see him hurt last year especially considering I drafted him early last year.
