Which RBs do I start this week? WHIR

[Guido_BagDonnavich]

I need to start 2 out of these 5, 1pt per reception:

Pierre Thomas vs. TB
Tim Hightower vs. STL
Matt Forte vs. PHI
Cedric Benson vs. OAK
Kevin Smith vs. CLE

Right now I have no idea. Let me know what you think and leave a link if you need help with yours!

Thanks!

I would go Thomas for sure ......but you will have to watch the situation in Cincinnati to see if Benson will sit this week out. If he does not play I would start Forte.

PPR always should think Forte. He just came off a great receiving week, as the Bears went to the screen a LOT. He's great in space, and I think he's coming on. He's also one of the only backs to get 80% of the load. Benson should be fine, so I say Forte + Benson.

Thomas and the Saints are too unpredictable. 3-headed monster with the likes of BUSH vulturing redzone targets with lame flares. Hightower is about to lose his job to the superior runner in Wells, so Forte + Benson. They will do fine this week.

I forgot to mention that Kevin Smith (vs. CLE) is also an option for the week. I'm a little shaky on Benson right now. It's a must win week right now - I'm sitting at 5-5.

i think kevin smith is a must. the young lions have no shot at the playoffs and it serves them no real purpose to play a 30 year old morris over a 2nd year kevin smith.

at the other spot, i think you may have to wait to see what is the report on benson. if he is healthy, then i think he is the play. but if not, i think forte is the best option. the eagles defense isnt that spectacular. of course forte hasnt really impressed either (considering his average draft position). the key is he gets the bulk of the work. plus cutler may play if safer these days and opt for the check downs instead of trying to force it into coverage with his horrible WR corp.
