Down 14.5 - Rashard or Moreno? (WHIR!)

[GiantFanatic]

So, some of boys came up short this week (damn you Megatron) and I'm down about 14.5 pts going into MNF. The question is... who do I start?

I've slotted Rashard, and I think it's a lock, but I figured I'd see if anyone else has any opinions.

Thanks,
GF

I'm facing a similar situation choosing between the two defenses tonight. It is probably a crapshoot. I think Mendenhall may see more carries overall, losing less to Parker than Moreno will lost to Buckhalter. Both teams have strong run defenses. Who has scored more fantasy points overall? I'd go with him.

I would start Mendnenhall

Mendenhall gets the nod for me - it will be tough, but at least he has a chance...I just don't see Moreno getting 146 total yards or a TD and 85+...

Go with Mendenhall and hope he breaks a long one for a TD. The only problem with Mendenhall is he gets benched in the 4th quarter for Moore because he has trouble hanging onto the ball. But, he'll get the majority of carries in the game.

I sure hope you started Rashard, because that long run was money in the bank if you did! By my tally he got you at least 16.5 (off the top of my head), and Moreno had less than 1

Indeed I did, and indeed he did. Won the game by about 2pts, beating the league leader and moving me back into 3rd. It was pretty sweet... though the fumble review at the end was a nailbiter!

Thanks for the help everybody.

Best,
