Green Ellis vs GB or Blount vs Detroit

Leaning towards Green Ellis because he scores TDs and Blount did not impress last week. But its hard to not start Blount against Detroit.

DET is not as bad as people think. Law Firm and NE are HOTTTT. You know he will get the ball 20 times and all goal line. 80+yrd 1td should happen.

They will have the ball all game too since Rodgers is out. NE def will set it up for him

you can't sit green ellis. blount may have a nice matchup, but the pats offense has been ridiculous. ben's the goal line back. he'll score at least one touchdown.

I am going to disagree with the above posters here. Looking at the matchups, DET is the 7th worst defense vs fantasy RBs. GB is the 3rd best, . . . that's a 22 position swing as far as matchup rankings are concerned. To give you an idea, DET is giving up almost 10 points/game more to fantasy RBs than GB.

Tampa is fighting for a playoff spot in a very tough division. BGE may get a TD, but so might Branch, Welker, Woodhead, Hernandez, Gronkowski, etc.

BGE doesn't get a lot of yards consistently. And given the matchup discrepancy I think you have to go with Blount, who certainly constitutes a larger portion of TBs offense than BGE does of NE's.

Help here?
