Thanks for the help on mine...

Agree...not good here. I have a similar situation in another league of mine (Mendenhall, Grant, McCoy, Ganther...picked up Arian Foster).

Of those two, I would go Mendenhall. I like the fact that he's at home, and he's going to get the most carries of the two. I think when in doubt, like this, go with the guy who gets more touches....he's got the better probability of doing something good. Also, the Steelers have had such a problem pass-protecting that they may lean more heavily on the run in a must-win situation for them.

I would also check the WW. If a guy like Arian Foster is available, I'd certainly snatch him up, and possibly even start him over the two you mentioned. Chris Jennings to me is slightly below Foster, but also a consideration. His matchup is good, but I'd wait until I heard some media reports out of Cleveland that say how he's going to be used. I can just see Mangini coming out this week with a heavy dose of Jerome Harrison.

I recommend Hightower for 3 reasons
1- I need to float all the kharma I can towards Arizona... I have Warner and Fitz lol
2- It's Det for God's sake, regular considerations do not apply
3- Mendenhall will do jack against GB

Good luck and hope you make it to week 16!

Mendenhall is now the 3rd down back so extra carries. I would could with the guaranteed workload in Mendenhall.

I like hightower. even with the emergence of Wells, there's enough fantasy goodness for everyone when playing the pathetic lions.
