Marion has been declared active so absolutely start him. Fred Jackson has looked good and I don't think they will take him out of the game plan. Lynch and Jackson will prob. split carries going forward regardless what the media says.


thanks for mine

Barber was supposedly angry about being held out last week so I'd expect he's ready to go.

I'd go with Barber also. See what Marshawn does this week before inserting him in your lineup.

Thanks for the help on mine. Here's a little nugget from Rotoworld on how DAllas plans to split the carries "giving the bulk of them to Choice"

FOX Sports' John Czarnecki seconds a report from ESPN's Matt Mosley that Marion Barber (quads) is likely to see fewer carries Sunday than Tashard Choice. The Czar confirms that Barber will play, but adds that Choice "should get the bulk of the carries in what should be a slugfest." Mosley predicted in a Saturday report that Barber would see "the majority of the work." All this makes Barber a less desirable fantasy play, and Choice a safe RB2 start.
