C.Benson (vs. Ravens) . I would say SJax, but the Rams are flat awful. Pretty hard to stay committed to the run when you are down by 4 scores. CIN has a prayer of staying close here.

C.Cooley (vs. Panthers) - Cooley has more Targets than Daniels, and CAR is ranked in the bottom half vs TEs (13th worst). Zona is 21st worst.

Pick 2 RB (Assuming Parker is out):
M.Jones-Drew (vs. Seahawks) - Obviously
R.Mendenhall (vs. Lions) - If Parker is out, this is another fantastic matchup for Mendy. Ride him while you can. While Jacobs has a good matchup, Mendy's is better. I think the G-Men will be up early and he will give a lot of carries to Bradshaw. All 3 are great plays though.

Thanks for your help with mine.

Tough calls all around in the first brack it.

RB - S.Jackson (I know the Vikings "D" etc. but they haven't been that dominant in the Run "D" so far)

TE - O.Daniels (gonna be a shootout easy)

RB - M.Jones-Drew (STUD)
RB - R.Mendenhall (Its the Lions, and have to go with him because of last weeks performance)

S Jax. StL is bad, but the Ravens run D is tough and Lynch didn't give any reason for Buf to take carries away from Jackson.

Daniels.

Your really can't go wrong with any of the last three. All are playing bad teams, but I like:
MJD
Mendenhall. If he can stay healthy, he's about to Lou Gehrig FWP.

Pick 1 RB:
S.Jackson (vs. Vikings)
C.Benson (vs. Ravens)
M.Lynch (vs. Browns)

Pick 1 TE:
O.Daniels (vs. Cardinals)
C.Cooley (vs. Panthers)

Pick 2 RB (Assuming Parker is out):
B.Jacobs (vs. Raiders)
M.Jones-Drew (vs. Seahawks)
R.Mendenhall (vs. Lions)


Out of the first groupings, I'd go with Lynch just purely on match ups, and the fact that he had decent yards per attempt, but buffalo went down big and was throwing in the 2nd half.

Out of the TE's I would go with Daniels as that game figures to be a shoot out. Cooley isnt a bad play either if you want to go that direction.

Out of the last 3 rb's i'd go with MJD for sure. I like Jacobs better then Mendenhall if Parker is back this will reduce his carries. otherwise go with mendenhall

are you not able to start all 3 of the last list of backs? are these two different teams?


i would strongly consider jacobs, mjd and mendenhall as i don't trust lynch yet and jackson and benson have terrible matchups.

if you have to start one of the first group, i'd say benson. he's been the most consistent.

and i like daniels over cooley. he should have a good day.


thanks for the help.

I don't like Benson's matchup. I still go SJax here.

Daniels. In a shootout he is going to get his.

Jacobs is going to be a monster, esp if Manning doesn't play.
MJD.

Lynch should murder the Browns.

I'd always start Cooley.

MJD and Mendenhall seem like the clear-cut choices, but Jacobs v Oak seems very tasty too. Any 2 of the three would be great.

Thanks for the help on mine.
