Which RB to start? Rank 'em WHIR!!!

Postby Chicago 2 » Sat Sep 26, 2009 2:56 pm

I can not decide which RB to start this week. I keep flipping between the three backs I have and would like some advice.

My league does use PPR at 1/2 point. Rest of the points are rather standard, 10 yds/pt.


Please rank the three below and tell me your thoughts if you can.


Pierre Thomas vs. BUF
Derrick Ward vs. NYG
Knowshon Moreno vs. OAK


Thanks!

Anyone else?


I'm leaning towards Ward.

I understand Cadillac is injured/questionable and Ward is getting the start vs. the Giants who have trouble stopping the run so far.

Pierre is also intriguing since MIke Bell is out for the week but the Bills have done a nice job stopping the run.

Moreno I don't think I can trust yet but the Raiders can be run on and Moreno did an ok job last wk.

You really do have a battle of three evils on your hands. That said, so do I and i'm forced to go with Pierre over Benson. The answer lies in Pierre's (risky) upside for for points versus Wards (relarive) safety since he is supposed to be 100%. If Pierre is 100%, then there is no question!

Please help me back at:

I Like Thomas this week, with Bell out and Brees supposedly hurt, I think he will have a big game. I don't think Bush's roll will change if Bell doesn't play so Thomas will get all the touches Bell would have had.
I like Ward, as your next best option, but I think NYG D will play the run a little better this week. But Ward will get a score

I'm not big on Knowshon He splits too many carries with Buckhalter

look at mine please
