Which 3 running backs would you start in the finals?

Question

K its between Alexander vs san, Dayne vs indi, Rohdes vs houston, Dillon vs jax, benson vs, det?

Answer 1

Alexander against San Diego will be interesting. San Diego already halted the #1 rushing yard RB in Larry Johnson, and Shaun Alexander should be another test that the SD Defense should handle fairly well.

Dominic Rhodes is not a bad option, but he is no Joseph Addai. Since Addai is out with a high ankle sprain, Rhodes is the automatic starter and will get the lion's share of the carries. Indy needs Dominic to step his game up if he is going to be kept with the Colts for next season.

Dayne had brought himself up from the depths onto the starting lineup for Texans (which doesn't seem that difficult). Since his reawakening with Denver, Dayne seems to be a more focused and tougher RB than earlier envisioned. However, he is facing a newly-imposing rush defense that kept Rudi Johnson under 100 yards on monday night and beat up the O-Line that led to Cincinnati's collapse in that same game.

Corey Dillon is in the same boat as Rhodes since Maroney is out with a back injury. Even with Kevin Faulk taking some carries, Dillon will be the focal point of the New England rush attack. However, Jacksonville did manage to shut down both Vince Young AND Travis Henry last week, and Jax looks to build further upon its momentum for a playoff run.

Cedric Benson gets to hang out with Rhodes and Dillon in this slightly growing yacht we have found here. However, with Jones's injury and Chicago's commitment to increase his activity, Benson will look to astound the front office as well as his team when they face Detroit on Christmas Eve. Benson should be an easy lock for starter because of the favorable matchup here.

Start the following three: Cedric Benson, Dominic Rhodes, and Corey Dillon

Answer 2

Dayne and Benson for sure, Indy and Detriot's rushing defenses are horrible. Shaun Alexander is also horrible, Dillon is playing a stout D and Rhodes sucks. I would look on free agency to see if Marion Barber is available, if you have to use one of them though... I'd use Rhodes, simply because the Texans pretty much suck at everything.

Answer 3

Probably Dayne, Rhodes (heard Addai is hurting), and Benson. If anything, Alexander for Benson just b/c he could breakout at anytime

Answer 4

dayne- colts rushing D wrse in the leage
alexander-a lock hes a all-star
rhodes-will be numer 1# back addaii hurt

Answer 5

Alexander
Benson
Dillon
Rhodes
Dayne

In that order.
