START Wells/Foster/Barber over ADDAI? WHIR!!!

Postby indyindian » Wed Dec 16, 2009 11:33 am

In the semi's and have Chris Johnson as my 2nd RB. Yahoo scoring, 1 PPR. Should I bench Addai @ JAX and start:

Beanie Wells @ Detroit
Arian Foster @ St Louis
Marian Barber vs NO

WHIR!!!

personally i think addai is a fine start this week. beanie wells should be in line for a strong day as well, but there's the hightower question.
barber is dead to me.

personally-i really like arian foster this week, but a lot of people seem to think he's a risk. i think they're going to give him 15-20 touches and feature him heavily. STL run is terrible, and the safeties are gonna be back dealing with schaub/AJ. i think moats has fumbled his way out of a job, and they want to see if they have their RB of the future w/ Foster.

but, week 15, that start takes some guts.

stick with addai.

my thinking is that Arizona will take an early leadf and begin running the ball to run down the clock and preserve the health of Warner and company. This will also give them a chance to work on the run game and see if Hightower can hold onto the ball as well as he does drop it. Its a risk but I see 60 yards and a TD from Hightower in the 4th quarter

Barber and Foster are too risky and I dont see them as being factors

Thanks can you help me

Stick with Addai but I don't think Wells is too far behind him since he will give up carries to other rb's in Indy given their huge lead in the standings.

The only one of those guys I'd consider benching Addai for is Beanie, and it's really close. I actually really liked how Beanie looked on Monday and was definitely a spark for Arizona's offense in the 3rd quarter. If you're feeling ballsy I'd go with Wells, but you can't go wrong either way.

I wouldn't bench Addai, no way. There are some other glamorous choices out there, Wells & Foster, both look very sexy on paper, but you wanna go with whats proven and as close to guaranteed as you can get. Which = Addai.

Thanks for help on mine.

I think Addai should remain your starter. Jacksonville isn't quite on the same tier defensively as Detroit (bad) but theyr'e pretty close. I guess the only question you have is whether or not the Colts will play there starters the whole game, and I think the consensus around the forum is that they will.

thx for helping me
