I have my lineup set, but I'm unsure of which RB's to start this week. Kevin Smith and Brandon Jacobs have nice matchups, but they've been hit or miss all year. This week is crucial for me to get a win or I'm knocked out of 1st place.

So who do I start (pick 2 of these guys). Ray Rice will be my #1 this week regardless. The guys in bold I currently have in my starting lineup, but they're subject to change.

Kevin Smith (home) vs. CLE - tasty matchup obviously... but the ceiling is not that high.
Brandon Jacobs (home) vs. ATL - he's a beast but has been limited this year w/ touches and they've had him running routes that didn't fit his style. Now the plan is to get him running downhill again and he's averaging 5 yds a carry in his past few games.
Lesean McCoy @ CHI - now that Westbrook is out, he's the man... but do I start him? I am also already starting Desean and Akers so I don't want too many eggs.
Beanie Wells @ STL - he's coming on strong now and up against a horrible rush D. Tempting, but is it too risky to plug him in now?

Thx guys, I will help in return if you post your link!

I'm really liking Beanie this week. I would play KSmith and Beanie.

I'd go with Smith and Wells. Stick with the matchups.

Thx for the advice.

2 say leave it as-is

2 say to put Wells in over Kevin Smith.

Still torn... I at least feel like I know what I'll get from Smith, which should be 40-50 rush yds, 30 pass yds and a TD or two if I'm lucky. Smith also has a favorable matchup.

Wells could get his chance to shine or he could be the shadow of Hightower again.

Previous posters have said to start Wells in favor of Jacobs, not Smith. I think I agree them - tough call though, go with your gut.
