I have a tough Running-Back decision to make.
I have Gore locked in for my RB1 spot, but need help deciding who to play as my RB2.
Right now i have opted to not play Thomas Jones b/c of the great Minnesota Run D. This leaves me with two great back-ups.
Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Miami
or
Marion Barber III vs. New York Giants
So, out of these 2, who do I start and why?

I have MJD and use him every week as my W/R. Every week he puts up more points than my optional WR's. ( and I have alot of them) I only have three RB's, and they start every week. L.Johnson( never remove him) J Lewis ( sometimes a bright spot, but wonder why I didn't dump early to grab one of these rookies) then there is MJD,......I can't say anything bad about him. Let's just say that every year we all have that one certain someone that isn't a standout, rather he is like a rock each and every week, constantly grinding out points. Ground or air, doesn't matter. This is my third season. The first year, for me, it was Drew Brees.( I won the Championship) He spent the season probable with a sore shoulder but it was his breakout year. (2004)
Last year, I didn't fair so well. I finished in the lower tier of my league. But, after much jockeying, I settled on Mewelde Moore. He turned out to be a "gold mine" in a somewhatm well ....dare I say it, ...a turd bowl. Maurice Jones-Drew is my choice, he has been my rock this year. My rabbits foot.

neither back starts,, but barber has 11 tds(9rushing) and Parcells said he will be resting Julies Jones more for playoff push. The Giants defense is hurting at some spots
Drew is a good 3rd down backw/ tds running and catching. But Miami's defense is strong and coming on fast.
Play Barber

Miami has been playing great defense and Jags have been seriously slacking. Jones-Drew is a great back and if they do score most likey it'll be him. Barber III will most likely get all the red zone carries or be in the red zone packages so he'll get TDs. He's no slouch either. Barber III it is.

personally, i would actually go with thomas jones. he is the main running back for his team, and the other two are just backup that dont get the ball as often. Thomas jones gets a lot of rushing attempts. He has more than gore, barber, parker, jackson, tomlinson...
i would go with him despite the minnesota defense

Definately Barber, he is taking over the bulk of the carries for Dallas, and he gets all the goal line touches anyway. He will give you a better chance to get TD's and more fan. points.
Jones-Drew on the other hand is decent, i just dont trust him as much as Barber.
