RB Advice Needed! Slaton or Rice?

[Colin Shots]

12 Team, PPR

Slaton v. JAX
Rice v. Cle

I'm already starting Steven Jackson and I need to start one more. Any insight given would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and good luck today!

I would have never thought this would be as much of a tough choice 3rd game into the season.

I would have to say to give your stud Slayton another shot before replacing him with your 6th or 7th round selection.

[Double A]

I would go with Slaton. He has struggled the first two weeks but gone up against some pretty good defenses. My main reasoning is he is likely to get more touches than Rice since Balt likes to get McGahee and even Mcclain some touches, whereas Slaton is pretty much it Houston. I don't think he will have a 3rd bad game in a row, so I'd give him another chance.


Help with mine?

I feel the same way as Double A. Even though Slaton is struggling, I would go with Slaton since McGahee has been the red-zone ball hog while Slaton get the majority of the carries for Houston.

Keep in mind that Jax (will most) likely concentrate heavily on defending the pass after last weeks Schaub/A. Johnsons slaughter of the Titans defense, making more breathing room for Slaton.
