!!!!!!!!!Running Back Help!!!!!!!!!

Postby tripower » Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:14 pm

If I win this week, I'm in the playoffs...Lose and I'm out....Please pick your choice of two:

Adrian Peterson @ Detroit (listed as questionable)
Mike Tolbert @ home vs. Buffalo
Brandon Jacobs @ Dallas
Marion Barber @ Denver
Toby Gerhart @ Detroit (picked him up when AP went down)

My fear with starting AP is that with his injury, he'll split time with Gerhart reducing overall points. Tolbert and Jacobs both split time, but get the short yardage goal line touches. Barber I think will get the majority RB touches for Chicago.

Overall, I'm inclined to stick with AP and perhaps Barber over Tolbert. What do you all think?

You have to go with AP if he starts, but I dont know how likely that is

I wouldnt go Gerhart either if AP is out because Lions should go up early forcing Vikings to throw

Id pick Barber after AP

AP as of Friday is at 80% this game is nothing for them and he should not play.

You 100% MUST Start Gerhart! He had 130+ yards 8 catches last week. He will be the main guy and will get you 8-12points and maybe get you a TD on top of that. Must start for you!



Gerhart and Tolbert/Barber Whoever gets a TD wins this coin flip. I really like the idea of RIvers/Jackson/Gates/Floyd getting him to the goal line vs Barber trash yards all game!

If Peterson plays tomorrow you have to start him... Aside from that, Barber/Tolbert is a coin flip. Barber will get more carries/yds but Tolbert is the goal line back for SD and should get a TD vs BUF. Just go with your gut!
