I have to start one of these crappy RBs. Which one?

Postby thebrewz23 » Sun Sep 26, 2010 9:10 am

So, basically I'm trying to guess which gets a TD because I don't expect any of them to do too much. Leaning towards a Bronco because the Indy run D is so bad. Which would you play?

Maroney vs. IND
Buckhalter vs. IND
Hillis vs. BAL
Caddy Williams vs. PIT

Thanks and leave a link.

If its PPR, I expect Williams to be the superior start. I would lean towards Buckhalter/Hillis getting the goal-line TD though. Depending on the settings, you might want to roll with Buckhalter.

I'd go with Maroney, I think he has something to prove to those in NE.

I'd also take a look at C. Ivory (NO), he had a great camp and pre-season before getting hurt. He may be the one to pickup the slack for Bush. That's a high risk high reward situation.

Don't you just love a good crappy RB quandry...

I think the Buckhalter looks like the best option out of those guys. Maroney would be my other choice, but the other two guys are goin against two of the stoutest run Ds in the league.

Good luck, help on mine:

I think Buckhalter gets the most carries between he and Mauroney this week, so I'd go with him.

Mine: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=476859
1.5 points per 10 yards rushing/receiving
1.0 points per 20 yards passing
6.0 points per TD (all positions)
1.0 points per 10 return yards

Im with this guy on this one. While Maroney is worth a look, I still think he gets held back a little by the fact that hes only been there for a few days. Buckhalter gets more carries and could even score. The other two guys I say no way to.

ugh, almost same situation here, but buck is not available and my choice is between Maroney or Hillis. Any thoughts on this? I've changed my mind about 10 times on this.

Buckhalter looks to be the safest play at this point. It's a crapshoot though. No real way to tell who will outperform who from that list.

And snutch, make a new thread.
