Barber or Betts??

[Herm]

Who do I start???????

[WaCougMBS]

What kind of league is it? PPR, etc?

[juddstjohn]

I'd go with Betts- living in North Texas I watch every Dallas game and Marion just isn't himself this year after the injury, and he splits time with Choice and Jones. Betts is alone at RB for the Redskins and is also a good receiver, where I predict he'll get most of his points with the pass rush of the Boys as a safety outlet.

[Herm]

We get .2 points for every reception....isn't the cowboys D really good against the run tho?

[juddstjohn]

NO- they're USUALLY horrible against the run. But their offense is unpredictable, and if they go off the Skins might be forced to pass to catch up, so Betts MIGHT be limited in rushing yards in THAT case, but he'll get points as a receiver. In a close game, he'll rack up big yards on the ground. If the Boys jump out to a big lead they'll likely sit Barber to let him rest for the playoffs and feed the ball to Choice for garbage-time yards and punishment, giving Barber rest in preparation for the post-season. In a close game, it's a RBBC until Barber is fully healthy again, if ever.
