Need Major RB Help, too many good players?? WHIR

[Shea-bird]

ok so im in a 12 team PPR league, was 11th pick.

my running back selections ended up looking like this, in the order I picked them.

Rashard Mendenhall
Pierre Thomas
Jahvid Best
Cj Spiller
Brian Westbrook (my fav player, just had to grab him in the last few rds)

So my dilemma lies in who to start (primarily the RB2 position). I have a gut feeling any of these guys could out-perform the other on any given sunday on a consistant basis, leaving me with no consistency on who to start.

I originally had planned to start Mendy and Thomas, of course, but with the pre-seaon that spiller and best are having and all the hype around each of them, its hard to ignore plugging them into my starting line-ups.

Any advice, should I base it all on match-ups?? who's hot, etc??

i know deep down mendy has to always be in there but for my RB2 I am totally lost...guidance needed and guidance will be returned.

Mendy starts, Thomas sits due to a pass happy game with MIN.
i would give Spiller a shot here, he is gonna get the rock with the current BUF RB injury situation and he is playing well.

I agree with week 1, right now thats exactly how my line up stands...I can see spiller taking the majority of snaps with the injury to jackson, and even if lynch is back he won't be much of a threat the way spiller is playing.

don't understand why buffalo has spiller 3rd on the depth chart still...kinda weird

I'm liking best to start, the lions will be giving him every chance to electrify early and prove himself a threat to lighten the load on Stafford and Johnson.
I'm high on Spiller as well, but I would fear Best will get INJ in a few games and having never played him lol.

But I agree it's Mendy and one of the two rookies.

Mendy for sure and I think I would roll with Best. I am not a "homer" in this situation.
