I can start one alternate WR or RB.....?

Question

I can start one alternate WR or RB.....Lawrence Maroney, Amani Toomer, Ahman Green, or Donald Driver

Answer 1

I don't know your scoring system but I would always start a starting runningback over a WR. Ahman Green is the safest play because he is in a single back system for the most part. Maroney is still splitting carries but could be the back with bigger upside. Out of the two I would go with Ahman Green vs. DET.

Answer 2

Of course the first factor is what type of scoring system you play in. One of the other responders mentioned this as well. If you get points for receptions, then a WR is always preferable. It also depends on how many yards per point your RB and WR earn. So consider this when making your decision, since I don't know this information.

Also remember this Favre is playing in Detroit. He is terrible in domes!!! With this said, I'm still leaning toward Driver because I have a feeling the game may be high scoring. But this also means Green may have a great day, so it relies more on your scoring system then anything else.

I don't like Maroney because while Denver's defense hasn't shown it can stop the run like last year, I have a feeling the Broncos will perform much better on MNF even though they are playing in NE. Plus, I think Tom Brady has something to prove in this game since they lost to Denver in the playoffs last year.

Toomer will be shut down by the Seahawks defense. Although the Seahawks have played the equivalent of cupcakes this year, they are still a potent defense who ranked as one of the best in the NFC last year. They are playing a team that has been struggling on offense as witnessed by the necessary resurrection of Eli Manning in an overtime win last week.

I'd choose one of the Packers!

Answer 3

Eliminate Green and Toomer. In fact, trade Toomer right now, while his stock is the highest it'll ever be. He had one good week, but that's it. Treat Maroney and Dillon (I know you didn't say you had him, but just in case) as if they both aren't in a slpit ituation, because they both put up solid numbers. Driver is a potential stud this week, playing the Lions defense. I'd start Driver, but don't hate me if Maroney was the better pick.



ps... I'm always biased to WRs becasue I play in points per reception leagues.

Answer 4

Donald Driver

Answer 5

Toomer has already had his one good game this year.......keep him on your bench.
Green and Driver are playing the Lions........remember what the Lions did to Alexander in week one, and what Grossman was able to do to them last week. They have a good run D, and a horrible pass D...
Maroney is playing against Denver who has a solid defense.....

If it were up to me I would have to play Driver because of the bad pass D in Detroit, and because Farve is coming off a good game.....they will be looking to air it out

Answer 6

Ahman Green.

Answer 7

I would go with Toomer although they play the Seahawks. Maybe Driver.

Answer 8

Go with Maroney, Driver is a very close 2nd.

I heard Dillon is banged up, might want to check into that

Answer 9

no longer a foul draft. . . even with the indisputable fact that the Lions must be moronic to take a QB. i imagine they're going to commerce down, and %. up a Linebacker or an Offensive Lineman. I also imagine the Bengals may bypass with Leshawn McCoy, as i imagine McCoy's fee will be on the upward push, and Wells' will be on the drop after the integrate.

Answer 10

toomer would be my choice. he should get 6-8 catches and a touch
