Who to start at RB: C Taylor v. DET, Jordan v. SF, F.Taylor v. NYJ or C. Williams v. NO?

Question

I have shaun Alexander on a bye week...which 2 should I start?? I am thinking C.Taylor v. DET and L. Jordan v. SF...but now the more I think about it...I really am not sure. I am #2 in my league playing the powerhouse #1, I really need all of the points I can get. Help me out !! Thank You

Answer 1

I think your intuition is right. Chester Taylor is getting a ton of carries, and up until now, he has played 3 of the 4 games against Defenses that could be considered top 5. Now he gets a great opportunity against a porous DET defense.

Jordan had a great breakout week that we were all waiting for last week, and I look for him to put up similar numbers this week against SF.

I think Cadillac is a good play against NO, but he really hasnt gotten it going yet this season, and his Qb is out, so D's are probably going to focus on the run. Maybe this week should be a wait and see on him and if he has potential, then he should be a guaranteed gold mine in 2 weeks against the Bengals.

Admittedly, I am not a Fred Taylor fan. I have had him on my team 2 different seasons, and he never did me right. The Jets rush defense isnt great, and he could be a good play as well this week, but I would be nervous about Jones-Drew stealing more and more of his carries.

I dont think you can go wrong this week, but Lamont and Chester definitely have the best matchups.

Answer 2

jordan plays sf which allow 119/g has given up 5 td for the yr while oak avg. 107/g with 1 td for the year. The saints allow 108/g with 2 td's while the bucs avg. 43 and only 2 scores for the yr with a rookie qb playing. Jax avg. 103/g with 3 scores and jets allow 141/g w/ 8 scores. If you go by the #'s taylor is the smart start but don't know how jones-drew factors in. Go with taylor just because he gets the bulk but be weary they don't call him fragile fred for nothing. If you change your mind jordan is a smart start too.
