Start 2 of Gore, Grant and Sproles

Postby euclid530 » Sat Sep 26, 2009 1:18 am

I can only start 2 of Gore vs Minn, Grant vs Stl and Sproles vs Miami

I'm thinking i have to play Grant vs Stl but then there is Gore and Sproles

I'm leaning toward Gore since he is more proven but with his ankle and Sproles getting the start again

my league is td heavy where a td=6pts and 20yds=1pt

What do you think, i'm torn

Coming from a Vikes fan in Minnesota...you have to go Gore...MN gave up 4.2 yds per carry against jamal Lewis and about 130 to the Detroit tandam. Gore can have a decent game. I like the Goal lines that Grant is getting but I think you have to go Sproles for #2...If you are PPR...it is a no brainer over Grant....even if you are not. I still like his chances better.

Miamis rush defense is underrated as it was last year. Its not amazing but they've got a good enough rush defense to stuff Sproles. Sproles has never been an effective ground runner, coming out of the back field and getting hand offs. Hes a tremendous receiving threat but I doubt he'll get more than 12 carries on the ground which will most likely be about 30 yards running. Hes a great receiving threat and he could break any play for a big one, I'd expect about 40 yards receiving. A safe bet is to say he'll net you anywhere from 6-13 points. While Grant is a must start. The Packers are going up against one of the worst teams in the NFL, which means they will be in the lead early on in the game. Meaning Grant will be getting at least 20+ carries, he'll get you 80+ yards with most likely a TD. Hes going to get much more garbage time than both Sproles and Gore will. Now Minnesotas rush defense is a bit overrated this year and hasn't performed as many thought they would. Gore is a bruiser and will be getting around 20 carries. It all depends who you trust more, Sproles with 10-12 carries / 4-5 targets or Gore with 20+ carries / 4-5 targets. I'd go with Gore.
