Grant or Thomas? 100% WHIR

Postby FearandLoathinginATL » Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:22 pm

Grant vs. DET
Thomas vs. NYG

I also have Benson and DeAngelo Williams but I see Benson as a must start and Williams hasnt really been productive lately. Tampa's(thnx GoodStash) given up a lot of yards on the ground but only 3 rushing TDs and Stewart seems to be getting a more equal share of plays.

Both DET and NYG have given up similars numbers on the ground so far this season, I see Thomas as having a higher upside but Grant being a safer play.

Who do I start? Leave your link and I promise to respond.

I still consider Williams a strong fantasy back. He hasn't performed well so far because his entire offense is struggling, but I expect him to do well this week. He's playing TB, not WASH...If it were me, I'd go Williams and Benson, but if you're not down with DeAngelo, I'd throw in Grant. Hard to sit that guy against DET. In a PPR league he's been very consistent...

I would go with Grant. Thomas has been limited in practice, and even if he plays, I think he will spilt carries with Mike Bell more than usual.

Thanks for the help on mine.

I see Grant as the better option with no upside at all to Thomas now that BUSH, BEELL and THOMAS will all be active. NO will run, run, run and play D in an otherwise boring 17-10 win.

Please help me back at:

As a Packer fan, I would be SHOCKED if Ryan Grant doesn't finally come out of his shell this week against the Lions. In other words, if he doesn't do well this weekend, I wouldn't really count on him much for the remainder of his matchups.

Plus, the Giants know what a big game this is against NO, so they'll come out firing.

If you can: viewtopic.php?t=455315 ;-D

Portis didn't do well for me against the Lions, and I was sure I was getting 20+ pts from him that week.

I don't doubt Thomas over grant, no worries about the injury, he will go, and Bell isn't 100% himself, they lean on the Pass, so if PPR, then Thomas no doubt.
