Same boat. Some sites thing Smith is the better, some sites think Jackson.
Right now, I'm going with Jackson because
1. He's playing Cleveland. They've given up 707 yds Rushing, and 8 RuTDs on the season.
2. Smith is against Pit. They've given up 246 yds rushing and 1 RuTD on the season.
3. Buf has the chance to get ahead. Will the revolving door of Jackson/Lynch there should be ample opportunity for both to get touches.
4. Who knows what role Culpepper will play in the Det/Pit game. Will he hand off? Will they air it out? I expect Det to be playing from behind after the 1st quarter, which means passing.
The only downside is that Jackson's production has been declining since week 1. Also, keep in mind we don't get PPR. If we did, I'd be 'more' inclined to play Smith.
