In week 8 I've got to pick two of the following backs to start: Travis Henry, Maurice Jones-Drew, Joseph Addai or Leon Washington. Which two do you like?

I'd go with Henry and Washington. Henry's risk is that Houston's defense is getting better and he's got a rookie quarterback. Washington is less of a risk because he has Pennington and he's playing against an awful Browns run defense that is giving up 4.6 yards per carry.
Not Jones-Drew because he's still behind Fred Taylor on the depth chart and is hit and miss. He may have scored in four straight games, but he gets less touches than Taylor. He's not a bad start, though, if you decide to go with him instead of Henry.
Not Addai because he goes against a decent Broncos defense in Mile High.

henry and washington. drew is playing th eagles D and should be not so great for him. addai is a RB on a passing team. he'll get some touches but not enough to do any damage

Travis Henry and Leon Washington because Henry has been tearing it up lately and going against Oakland...c'mon. Leon Washington because he is going against the Browns and their defense isn't all that good either. best bets would be those two.

henry and washington. jones-drew is too inconsistent, and addai is up against the denver defense, plus he is on a passing team, so all carries he gets will be shortened. pick up wali lundy if you can, he got me 16 points last week.
