RBs for week 1 - Help! (WHIR)

[Noeckett]

Thanks for your review of my draft! As far as your situation is concerned...man, that's a tough call. Benching your first round pick in Week 1 is a bad situation, especially when it's a beast like Foster. Obviously, if he looks like he's good to go, he's a must-start. While Lynch is a far inferior talent, he does have some upside because Seatlle is adjusting to a new QB and WR crew, so they will need to use the ground game to keep things balanced. Plus, Lynch has a decent match-up against the 49ers Week 1. The Niner defense are no pushovers, but the offense is bad enough to ensure that Seattle's offense will get a lot of time with the ball. If they establish an early lead, which is quite possible, they'll use the running game a lot for clock management. Watch Foster like a hawk, and if you still have doubts come Sunday, Lynch should at least put decent numbers. Thankfully, you've got Hillis's matchup with Cincinnati working in your favor as well.

Stick with Foster if he starts. Pay attn to the news and start lynch if the game plan looks bleak for Foster.
