Who should I start out of the two? Green-Ellis vs MIA or Maroney vs TEN

Thanks for your help! I would go with Green-Ellis. He is still pretty fresh and looked good last week. Good luck!

If your team is listed in your sig I might go with Bradshaw. Granted Chi run D is nasty, you at least know he will get a decent number of touches. And he looks pretty good and fresh this year, and might be able to find the endzone against them at home. Plus I think it is fun to have a player going on Monday night haha.

If it is strickly between Green-Ellis or Maroney..I would take Maroney. I say this because of the inconsistency of NE RBs.. you dont know if the touches will be there. Maroney should get touches and be a less risky play.

ahhh 1 for each. Thanks for the help guys. Also I'm in the fortunate position of having AP and Charles on byes lol so Bradshaw is my RB1 for this week. I was leaning towards Green-Ellis but I'm thinking Maroney is the safer back for this week.

My vote is green-ellis... but either one of those guys could get a TD and 100+. Depends on which team match up you like the best.

It's so up in the air I'm not even sure. I see Green-Ellis being the better pick if he is the one who gets the ball, we never know though. On the other hand who knows how Maroney is used. I know he is starting and should be the goal line back but if they go through the air he could end up with 50 yards 0 TDs. Going to wait a bit and see what everyone thinks, hopefully one gets more love than the other.

On a side note I'm a bit tempted to go with Green-Ellis because I think I can trade Maroney for Torain. The person who has Torain has Moreno out and Torain is starting. Torain has little upside this week but in the long run should be much better than Maroney. I think it would work out for me and the other owner.

I think maroney is the safer pick but Green-Ellis has the more upside albeit risky.

Thanks for seeing mine

I agree that Maroney is the 'safer' pick, but I would play Green-Ellis. I think his upside is good, and sooner or later SOMEONE has to emerge from that team as being above the rest? (But then, I've been saying that for years now!)

I agree with this. It really depends on if you want the safe numbers or the guy who can put up 0-25 and anywhere in between. Maroney will probably get about 50-60 yards rushing and MAYBE a TD. BJGE could get nothing at all, or he could put up 110 and 2 scores, depends on what NE offensive line shows up lol.

Good Luck!!!
