Running back situation....

Postby dandlewood » Fri Sep 18, 2009 2:18 pm

May be a stupid question but who would you start in this situation (2 RB's and a flex):

Caddilac
Matt Forte
Frank Gore
Darren Mcfadden


As of right now I have the top three starting, but Matt Forte is going into Pit and had a less than stellar game one. Any thoughts?

Forte, Gore, and Mcfadden. Mcfadden has a very favorable matchup against KC, Oakland doesn't have much choice than to get the ball in his hands.

It's tough to give advice when all of your backs have the chance to shred their opponents. It was hard to gauge the run defense of the Bills last week so there are a few questions marks hanging over Williams and how he will perform. Matt Forte is up against the strongest D in the league. So in this case if it were me I would go with Gore at home VS. the Seagulls and McFadden to have his way with the division rival Chiefs. As a flex option there is no doubt I would start Williams, the Bucs have a sketchy QB situation and will be trying to press the run all game, could have a low floor but you could also be looking at a repeat of last weeks nearly 100 yards and a TD.

You can't bench Forte, he'll get every RB touch and the Bears will be able to move the ball on the Steelers, they might not score TDs, but they'll move the ball.
Forte, Gore and McFadden.

Yep, can't bench the amount of touches the Forte is going to get, so you can't bench him. Gore and Mcfadden round it off. It's a nice situation to be in.

This is why I'm so torn. Forte is a stud, but I just have a feeling he's going to have an off week due to Pit's run D. I'm tempted to swap him our for Mcfadden who has a pretty favorable matchup, but it seems messed up to bench Forte since he sees so many carries.

I agree with most already : Gore, McFadden, Forte

Problem with Caddy is he'll be sharing with Ward...

true, but while Mcfadden will get the lions share, he'll lose some carries as well. Caddy's on a pretty hot streak, so I think he'll get the chance to strut his stuff.
