What the heck has happened to Lamont Jordan this year? I've got to pick two running backs from the following crowd for week 4. Which two would you pick out of: LaMont Jordan, Maurice Morris, Joseph Addai and Maurice Jones-Drew?

Addai is not the feature back yet, so dont go with him until we see a game of 20+ carries.
Maurice Jones-Drew is awesome, but last week could be an anomaly because he had very few touches for the amount of yardage he got. Fred Taylor is still the feature back there (until his annual injury comes along)
Maurice Morris is not a great play against Chicago, but he is running behind one of the best O-Lines in the NFL. He has the best chance for big points.
Lamont Jordan has had a terrible year, but this week could be his coming out party against a D that gave up 145 yards and 2 TD to Rudi Johnson in week 2.
Ultimately, I would go with Lamont and Maurice for week 4, and hold onto the other 2 until their value increases later in the season.

Start the Maurices...Morris is the new stud in SEA for this week. He will play well. Drew looked stellar last week on limited carries. I think he earned himself some more touches, and who knows what he will do with more touches.
Like you said Jordan didn't show up this year, and Addai has done nothing to impress me.

I agree. Maurice Jones-Drew is going to get a bunch of playing time, Taylor getting hurt is inevitable, it's just a matter of which week. When he does, there will be a mad scramble for Drew all around the Fantasy leagues. Why not beat the rush? ;)
Also, I've been hanging onto Addai myself. The Colts are trying to work him into the system a lot, sometimes putting him out at reciever I believe. He gets playing time, and will get more as the season progresses.

eww i see your dilemma. ok scratch jordan, the raiders offense is horrible. addai is the leading rusher for the colts with 100 something yard. but thats in the 3 games. plus he has this qb there thats supposedly good and this qb has some pretty good receivers too. u dont think they let marshapp faulk and edgerrin james go just so peyton manning can hand the ball off to joseph addai and dominique rhodes. maurice morris is going to fill in for Sean Alexander for a few weeks and Maurice Jones-Drew seems like he is going to get a lot of carries in Jacksonville since fred taylor gets hurt so much. my money is on the maurices.

Yecch.
I'm starting Jordan this week. The Bay Area news affiliates are all reporitng that the Raiders discovered that Jordan had not caught one pass all season, despite catching 70 last year, tops in the NFL. He's got to do better.
After that, I'll say Addai, despite the plattoon situation with Rhodes. I think Indy will try to run in garbage time, and Manning should slice the Jets apart.
Morris worries me against Chicago, and because the seem to wheel Mack Strong out a bit too much for my taste.
Jones-Drew looks impressive, but Fraud is healthy. I think they'll burn him out, then go to MJD later in the season.

McNabb is a ordinary question mark, yet whilst some thing happens to him Kitna would be stable. Your WRs are only wide-unfold. Im a super fan of Roy Williams yet i admire him extra as an stunning #2 not a #a million. Your RBs are super, they are going to shop your group in rivalry. Your TEs and Ks are stable additionally. Baltimore's D would have a super 3 hundred and sixty 5 days or they could be a bust. instead of droping Haynes drop your lower back-up kicker. I doubt anybody will desire him up and you may only %. him lower back up whilst Akers has a bye week.

If those are your rb's kid your in big trouble scratch this season up for a loss. If I were you I'd try trading your other commodities to get an upgrade at rb. With Jordan he had two ruff weeks playing against great d's and having a bye week now he begins his weak schedule which should translate into better numbers than the previous weeks.
