Non-sexy question, need a depth RB - WHIR

Postby BearsFan65 » Fri Oct 08, 2010 10:50 pm

PPR league. Just completed a 3-for-2 trade that leaves me with only 2 RB's (AP and Foster). I need to grab a RB in case something happens to either one, and Foster has a bye coming up week 7. I put a claim in on Felix Jones which I expect will go through, but wanted to open this up to the pack for input. My other options at the moment are:

R Bush - not sure he'll be back by week 7
Spiller - biggest upside?
F Jackson - lead back with Lynch gone
Jacobs - claim and hold in case Bradshaw's hurt more than they let on?
Blount - is he getting enough touches to take now?

Who would you add here? WHIR, thanks!

honestly i dont like any of those running backs on the WW.. there has to be other players there that you can pick up, like M. Bush, or M. Tolber, M. Lynch, R. Torain even chris ivory for two weeks since pierre thomas is hurt. its hard to be able to really put up other options without being able to know who is available,

Please help with mine.,

12 team league, those RB's are all long gone. Anyone else have an opinion?

Thanks for the help on mine. I would say Fred jackson. Let's see what he can do now that Lynch is gone. He should get more touches for sure.

We keep hearing that Felix is going to be the man in Dallas eventually. I'd probably take a gamble on him. If not, go with Spiller for the upside.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say Blount or Spiller. Myself, I would take a chance on Blount. Tampa is saying that he will probably about 50% of the carries (and most all of the goaline carries) and I think he may eventually be the starter. Help me please:
