The choices are: Bush, Kevin Jones, Ahman Green, and Marion Barber. It's a standard yahoo league where touchdowns are really rewarded and there's no bonuses for # of catches or anything like that.

Whatever you do, do NOT listen to anyone stating that Reggie Bush is on fire. He's got 5 TDs for the year and 4 of them came on Sunday (3 Rushing, 1 Passing). His rushing yardage total was 37 yards against an inept 49er defense. He had a ton of receiving yards but is that what you want to count on for your RB? Why did he have such low rushing yards? He's still splitting carries with Deuce McCallister. He'll also be facing a Cowboys run defense that has only given up 90.3 yards per game (4th in the NFL). Whatever you do, don't buy into the Bush hype from last week. He's the equivalent of relying on Jerome Bettis in your fantasy league last year...pans out sometimes but not reliable when you need to win the big game.
Marion Barber has 5 Rushing TDs in his last 4 games including 2 last week and 2 more two weeks ago. His only game that he missed scoring was against Tampa Bay but he still racked up 2 receiving touchdowns and 83 rushing yards. If anyone is on fire, it's Marion Barber. New Orleans DEF has given up 133 rushing yards per game this year. That's 7th WORST in the league (The Raiders, Browns, and Lions all have better run defenses). Go with Barber.
Kevin Jones just returned from an injury last week and had 56 yards against the New England Patriots. He won't fare much better against the NFL's number one rushing defense, the Minnesota Vikings. Don't start him.
Finally, Ahman Green is facing the 49er Defense. That's the same defense that gave up 190 rushing yards to the New Orlean Saints last week. This is a no brainer. Go with Ahman Green.
Green and Barber. Start em'.

Marion Barber & Dallas will be facing New Orleans this weekend, which means that it will more than likely turn out to be a shootout between the offenses. This bodes well for Marion Barber III, so start him.
On the same note, Reggie Bush will be going up against Dallas, so start him as well.
Ahman Green has been too inconsistent and Kevin Jones goes up against the #1 rush defense in the league, so they should be benched for the Week 14 matchups.
Start Barber & Bush

I'd go with Bush and Barber. Barber's always a pretty safe bet and teams can run on New Orleans. Dallas is kinda stingy against the run but Bush has been hot the past two weeks and is a great reciever also. Green's not a bad choice instead of Bush for the fact San Fran's run coverage is worse than Dallas's and he is also a recieving threat. Stay away from Jones. That guy sucks...

Well if it's about touchdowns, Barber is the "Touchdown Machine". He will get the goal line oppurtunities, and I like the oppurtunities that the Cowboys offense will give him versus the New Orleans defense.

Based on last week, Barber and Bush.
