Ok I have a stable of RBs and I need to pick two to start. Here are my options:

DeAngelo Williams (obviously going to start)
Jonathon Stewart (vs. PHI)
Larry Johnson (@ BAL)
LeSean McCoy (@ CAR)
Cedric Benson (vs. DEN)
Ahmad Bradshaw (vs. WAS)

Right now, I'm leaning towards *gulp* Cedric Benson to start with Williams UNLESS I start seeing some news saying that Stewart is practicing again and healthy enough to play week 1. But even then I dont know... Injured Stewart against Philly or healthy Benson against weak DEN run defense.

What do you think I should do? WHIR

thanks for your help.

if stewart gets in the line-up and is expected to get carries i would go with him. but if not, you might have to go with benson. not a bad matchup and he is the only starter u have other than LJ. and he is playin the ravens which is never good.

My guess would be LJ since he we'll be getting the most carries. I know that Baltimore defense is gonna be crazy, but I wouldn't feel good starting J. Stewart and DeAngelo.

I would run Benson here. Cinci has a chance to lead in this game down the stretch so they may be running the football alot. I've seen reports where Benson is looking better than he ever has, and his work ethic has improved. I'd give him the go week 1.

Bradshaw for me. He'll get less carries than Benson but more productivity. He will also catch the ball more.

I think starting both the Carolina backs against the Philly D is somewhat suicidal. Denver's run D will be better this year (how can it not be?), but that's still the juiciest matchup - I think Benson gets the start. Good luck!
