RayRice, DeAngelo & Barber WHIR

Postby bagofmilk » Sun Nov 15, 2009 9:58 am

I start 2 RBs, NO FLEX. I'm already starting Ray Rice. Who should I start?

DeAngelo Williams: Still listed as Questionable. The Panthers have already noted that JStew will likely get the bulk of carries regardless of DeAngelo playing or not. Even if DeAngelo plays, will he be productive?

Marion Barber: Still listed as RB1 but has been splitting carries to two other backs. GB has a pretty stout run defense too.

Leave a link and I'll share my thoughts.

Thanks!

A healthy DeAngelo is unbenchable....but he isn't healthy. Don't recall the start times of those two games, but if I had to plug one in now I'd have to be safe and go with Barber. Good luck!

Because of Williams health status I would start Barber. Despite that it is still a tough decision for me.

You cant start a starting RB in the NFL that doesnt practice on Friday unless it was clearly for precautionary reasons. And even more so if you have someone like Barber to fill in for him.

I'd have to say Barber too, they're playing Green Bay, they may pass it a lot but Barber should still do pretty well. Unless they make it sound like DeAngelo is going to play, play well, and get most of the carries, I'd start Barber.

Good luck!

Williams is the most attractive play, but his health is a major concern. Barber has a tough match-up in GB, but I think he still puts up consistent numbers. 70 yards and a TD are there for him. Not sure you can say that Williams will do that for sure. Roll with MBIII.

Haven't paid close attention to the D.Will/Stewart issues....but if Williams is ready he gets the start.........Nice to have Barber if Williams doesn't go though.....

if you want to play it safe, go with barber. he is still the preferred back but will share the workload. i dont think choice will get much work, the bigger concern is jones. but he wont get you huge numbers so if you need a win this week, roll the dice and go with dwill.

i have a similar issue as i am a deangelo owner...i am contemplating on switching him out for lynch as captain checkdown is back for the bills.
