Hey all. Beanie was a player I targeted this year and landed him in a couple of leagues. Looks like this weekend he will be landing himself on my bench.
Non-PPR, must start a RB in his slot. Fred Taylor, Correll Buckhalter, Willis McGahee.
First one I'm crossing off the list in my mind is McGahee. Rice is fine and there won't be too too many TD's to vulture against the Jets. Fred Taylor is looking like the 1 back in New England, at least for Sunday. However, the one back in NE isn't a position of huge value. The Bengals have a decent but not spectacular run D. Correll Buckhalter could be a decent start pending news on Knowshon Moreno. Moreno is expected to play, however. Leaning towards Taylor at the moment. Blech. Any other opinions? Leave a link.
EDIT Laurence Maroney is inactive today vs the Bengals. Taylor is the NE back

I'd go with Buckhalter. Sure Fred Taylor may get the start, but you gotta think about the cornucopia of backs that the Pats employ. While Buckhalter will be limited because of Moreno, Taylor will be limited because of Maroney, Ellis, Morris, and Faulk - so I'd go with him.
Not a clear cut choice at all, but I'd start Buckhalter based on the matchup. Cinci defense is solid, touches on the ground might not matter. Good luck!
