I also have to mention that it's a PPR league with .5 points per reception...McCoy has been pretty good with that (so has charles and McFadden though), plus he's the only one that is not sharing carries with anyone...Thanks for the response
Wow. This is tough. I would have to bench Charles, just because I think the value is higher in the other 2 backs. McCoy imo, is the best of the 3 options because he is the solo back in Phi. He also has Vick, and potentially DeSean coming back which should open things up.
Bush is less of a threat to McFadden than Jones is to Charles.

If you're playing match-ups then McFadden is the one to sit. KC rush defense allows less than 97 ypg on the ground. I believe that's good for 7th in the league. Indy and Oak on the other hand have terrible run defenses. With that said, I'd go Charles and McCoy. It is true that they are using a committee in KC with Jones and Charles. But they still average nearly 200 ypg on the ground.
At first I was playing the match up and going Charles and McCoy
Then I thought about how bad KC's offense was (as far as scoring TDs) against Buffalo and how good the Raiders have been. Oakland is at home, KC is on the road
Then I was thinking of who gets more TDs, so I am going with McCoy and McFadden since Jones usually gets the goal line carries for KC and Charles has two TDs on the year.
Does anyone know who gets most of the goal line carries for Oakland? DMC or Bush?
going against the other 7-1 first place team this week, so it's a big one
I may be a little biased because I have convinced myself to start Charles for the first time in my league, but I like to look at this from a different perspective. Oakland has been unstoppable the last 2 weeks and all the breaks have gone their way. I don't think they have the talent to sustain this trend and think they are ripe for a "let down" against a "sneaky-good" KC team that just finds a way to win. I think KC rolls in this game, up early, controlling the ball. Oakland lays from behind the second half, forcing Campbell to throw and throw. He's improved, but still not the best passer. That equals punt...KC running drive to TD/FG...over and over.
