WK 15 PLAYOFFs baby here we go. Hightower or Mendenhall WHIR

Postby 3TimeChampFTW » Tue Dec 15, 2009 1:38 am

Not thrilled about starting either one of these guys in a playoff game but they're my only options.

Tim Hightower @ Detroit - Tim was benched early against the 49ers after fumbling the rock, but Beanie fumbled at the end of the game too. Its the Lions, anybody and everybody is a threat to score against them.

Rashard Mendenhall VS Green Bay - The Packers are tops in the league against the run this year. Rashard is coming off a poor performance against the lowly Browns.

I don't see Mendenhall having a very good game against the Packers, but Hightowers carries are getting fewer and fewer. Will the benching from the 49ers game carry over to the Detroit game? I know he's still a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield at least, if he gets any PT.


Edit* Chris Jennings @KC is an option, but first I would still like to know who you would start between Hightower and Mendenhall thx :)

Yeesh - that's an ugly choice.

I'd probably go with Hightower and hope for lots of garbage time production. Seeing how unimpressive Mendenhall was against CLE, I wouldn't want him out there against GB...

I'm leaning towards this guy's idea: garbage points. Even if Beanie draws the start, AZ will get ahead so quick that they'll want to keep their rookie fresh for later games this season and get Hightower in there.

Go Hightower.

Good luck and thanks with mine!

Hightower this week. GB will stop Mendy in his tracks.

I would go with hightower. The matchup for mendenhall is not favorable and the Steelers have not been doing so well at scoring these last few weeks. With hightower you at least have the chance of getting an amazing game, whereas with mendenhall I think the best you'll see from him would be 80 yards and a TD.

If you could help me, it'd be appreciated: viewtopic.php?t=464593

Hightower has been hurt and fumbling for a few weeks now. Wells is earning the majority of carries. Go with mendy,

Ouch...This is indeed a tough one. My first choice would be the WW. But if there is nothing out there, I would go with Mendy just for the fact that you get pts per carry and he will get the majority of them, but neither two are really attractive..

Please help with mine
