3 out of 5 Running Backs. Tough call. WHIR

Postby Reg » Thu Sep 09, 2010 11:06 am

PPR league, 1pt/8 rushing yds

start 2 RBs, plus one rookie(basically any 3 of these guys, but mathews or best must be in. both would be fine too)

Jamaal Charles
Arian Foster
Pierre Thomas
Ryan Mathews
Jahvid Best


All week I've had charles/foster/mathews in my lineup, but now considering trying to get best in there. suggestions?

I think Thomas is out. The hard decision for me is Best vs. Charles. I am a Chiefs fan but that doesn't weigh in my pick of Charles. I think he will get the touches and catch some balls out of the backfield. Foster and Mathews are locks...

yeah, I do love charles, but maybe it would be safer to go with best, who we know is getting the touches, vs charles who might have to fight off jones. first game of the season they might get an equal opportunity, who knows

You have it right. Charles and Best are the only two players to decide bewteen. best is a rookie and Charles was a beast last year. Go with Charles until Best proves to be the better option. Good luck!

Even though I'm not ranking Mathews higher than Best this year I think you have to start him this week due to the matchup against KC. So yea go with Mathews, beyond that is where it's a tough decision. Even thought I own Foster in both my $$$ league I'm benching him this week because I'm scared of Indy getting an early lead and Foster taking a back seat while they play catch-up. I agree with others that Thomas stays on your bench, so in my opinion that leaves you with Charles & Best to go along with Mathews this week.

Similar dilema to mine....

despite the fact that I own Charles will be better than Thomas this, and most, weeks.

Charles, Mathews, Foster is the way to play...

I'm going out on a limb and going with Best, Foster, Matthews. I like Jahvid this year big time.
