OK people. . . benching Foster is crazy. I am sure he will lose touches to Tate, but he's still the same guy who is a phenomenal runner, receiver out of the backfield, with one of the best O-Lines in the league, a good D to hold leads, and a powerhouse offense who is going to have plenty of chances at the goal line. No way I would bench Foster for Gore, playing with no offense, facing 8 in the box, with a QB who can't throw past 5 yards, against an angry Dallas defense that held down a much better Jets team.
I'll take the starter getting 60% of the snaps in one of the leagues best offenses, thanks. At RB 2, I don't know if folks have been keeping up with current events, but WAS's D looked legit. They are playing at home. And while Wells is a decent start because he is a starter on a decent team, travelling to the east coast to face a good team isn't what I would call a great matchup. I'd start Tim Hightower at #2.

It's time to put down the crack-pipe and step away from the keyboard.
