Mendenhall - Tough Choices

[lugmetric]

thanks for the help on mine.

i don't think this is as tough as it seems. i'll put it to you this way:

do you want to bank on garbage time for your points? or do you want to bank on the fact that mendenhall will get 15-20 touches plus all the goal-line work against an admittedly stout GB D?

one of these guys has guaranteed opportunities. one of them doesn't. run with mendy and hope the steelers have worked on their run blocking.

Id go with Hightower, I live in AZ so ive seen all the cardinals games, usually Hightower gets the start because he is better receiving than beanie and im willing to bet even if Beanie gets alot of carries, Hightower will too, look at last week against the lions, Ray Rice went nuts but McGahee still got 70yds and 2 tds.

I'd go with opportunity, in this case, as we're not certain if Beanie or Hightower get goalline carries? Might've asked this before, is it PPR?
But for now, I'd run with Mendenhall, good luck!!!

I would have to go with Hightower if I had to pick one. Zona should go up early and use the run to run down the clock. Good news for you Detroit cant stop anything. Look at last week. Even when they were trying to run the clock down they still racked up a bunch of yardage.

thank for yor help

Tough one there.

Since we are at the all or nothing stage, I'd roll the dice with Hightower based on the matchup and expectations of garbage time points.

Thanks for looking at mine

I'm a Packers fan so somewhat bias, but dang their defense has been exceptional recently. I'd pile on the Hightower garbage time bandwagon...

HOWEVER, since you are already taking a shot in the dark in a semifinal matchup, why not roll with Jennings...you mentioned you didn't want anyone commenting on him till they addresssed Hightower/Mendenhall, but honestly, why not gamble with Jennings? GREAT matchup and might get goal line carries????

thx for the help w/ mine. i'd roll w/ mendy since he's a clear number 1 and you have no idea what roll hightower will be playing this weekend.
good luck!
