I have the worst RB's ever!! Who should I start?

Question

I can start 2, or a 3rd as a flex play.

Rudy Johnson (I think this is a must)
Lamont Jordan (looked good, but tough matchup)
Tatum Bell (He's the only RB this week, but tough defense)
Derrick Ward (gamble)
Brandon Jackson (gamble)

So who else would you start besides Johnson? I'm thinking I have to go with Jordan. And I'll have to go with Brandon Marhsall in Denver for my flex play (W/R) instead of another RB. What do you think?

Answer 1

I'd go with Ward. I'm playing him over Cedric Benson this week.

Answer 2

Go with Rudi, and Jordan as you starters. For your flex, unless this is ppr I would almost never consider starting a reciever over a RB. For your flex I would start either ward or jackson, (leaning towards ward, but both are good options). Do not start tatum, the minnesota D is a run stopping machine, and I doubt he'll have more than 10 carries.

Hope this helps and Good Luck.

Answer 3

Johnson, of course. Play anybody with a match-up against Cleveland, particularly a stud.

Ward looked really good against Dallas last week. With the injury to Manning and his status uncertain, the G-Men will be going to the ground early and often. Is Green Bay really a good defense? Tough to say after only one game.

I also think that playing Jackson against a very porous Giants' defense is a better move than Marshall. Running backs (especially starters with no back-up) get lots of touches, which means lots of times they have the chance to gain yards and points. Marshall is a second receiver and the other guy, Walker, is Cutler's go-to guy. Also, while the Raiders looked pathetic on defense last week, they do tend to pick it up against AFC West rivals.

I'd go Johnson, Ward, and Jackson.

Answer 4

your rb's arent THAT bad..yes rudy johnson is a must..second i would go with tatum bell...yeah i know the vikings have great run defense but listen, im from MN, we're weak against the pass..we will be expecting a lot of passing from detroit this week...so it will be a good chance for detroit to mix it up and keep the vikes guessing by having faith in the run game as well..plus tatum bell is starting this week so he will get a majority of the carries while kevin jones gets ready for next week..check out injuries at espn.com...good luck

Answer 5

Carolina Panthers: DeShaun Foster Even sportscasters comprehend he has no skill. He replaced right into a good finesse RB at the back of Davis, yet he won't be able to take it up the middle. After 3 years he nonetheless tries to stand up at recent and run by way of. And the only time he particularly began to play final season is while he knew he replaced into loosing coach and fan help to Williams. entire waste of money and components.

Answer 6

I would go with Bell. I know in the past the Vikes have had the Lion's number but they will not be able to play an eight man front like they have in the past or they will get torched by Calvin and Roy and maybe even Mike. There are just too many weapons for Kitna to throw to for the Vikings to ignore. This should open up some lanes for Bell. He may not get L.T. numbers but he shouldn't hurt you either. Good luck!

Answer 7

I'd go with Johnson and Jordan with Ward as the flex.

Answer 8

I would go with Jordan and Bell. I believe Jordan will have 20-25 touches this week. And I just like Tatum Bell with whom you have left. Bell is a hunch but I believe better then Marshall. Good luck.

Answer 9

Johnson & Ward. I'd go with the gamble.

Answer 10

i've seen aworst Rb situations but yeah go w/ johnson and ward. ward was pretty solid when he got playin time last week. plus if eli's out they'll try runnin the ball more
