Jahvid Best or Pierre Thomas

[The305MiamiCanes]

Standard Non PPR League
Who should I start for my week 3 RB? I love how Jahvid has been ripping up defenses but I also love how Pierre should be getting a bigger workload due to the injury of Bush.

can you really Bench Best? and with Bush gone Thomas is in line for a large Bonus.

i say bench you other RB

I'd continue to play Best. He's the entire DET O right now.

Help me?

Both are solid starts, but Best can't be benched. IMO

I'd have a hard time benching Pierre with Bush out of the mix.....but I'd do it to start Best. He's making a believer out of me, and Detroit goes nowhere without him IMO. Good luck!

By the way, who's your other RB, if one of these two needs to sit?

So Pierre Thomas is going against a team that can be ran on giving up nearly 20 points a game to opposing RB's and now Bush is out of the picture...and people are suggesting a rookie going against a very pissed off 0-2 Minny D? Nah...give me PT. I know Best was a rock star last week but that ain't happening this wek against Min.

Give me PT here any day of the week

Bench Best... How is this hard? he's going up against the Vikings who dont exactly give up monster games to opposing RB's, and Pierre is going against ATL who gives up points in bunches. I would have a hard time benching best if he played anyone besides MIN.. Detroit should be throwing against the Vikes as thats proven to be the way to beat them, although Miami did it running and playing D, but Detriot doesnt have Miami's running attack and it doesnt have its defense.

Fact:
Jahvid Best leads all rushers with 5TDs, and a buttload of rec'ing yards.

Question:
How in the world do you SIT best for week #3?

Answer:
You simply CANNOT. Not for Pierre Thomas anyway.

Stats like that played off as fact can make any situation look good. Yes, right now he his the highest scoring RB statistically but would you honestly say he was the best running back in the league? I know that's not what was said or implied but I'm trying to make the point here. Even CJ was held to under 10pts last week and I will go out and say he is the best (even though he deserved that TD run that was called back)

Like others have said Best is hard to sit but don't let the excitement get to your head. It was only ONE game and every defense is different plus they will be watching him a lot closer now.
