Which would you rather have for the rest of the fantasy season? Hines Ward or Rudi Johnson? 1 pt per 10 yards rushing/receiving, 6 per scored TD. Will Rudi be starting and getting the bulk of the load in a couple of weeks? Or will he be platooning with Kenny Watson? Big decision! I need your help!

I would go with Hines Ward. I would always like to have a RB over a WR, but Ward has been dinged all year and is now coming back. There have been rumblings that Rudi will platoon with Kenny Watson and that Chris Perry is off the PUP list, he will be stealing some carries too. Rudi isn't an every down player anymore and I would shy away from him.

I would have to stick with Rudi Johnson, Hines had a decent game last week, but before that what has he done, long term I would go with Rudi, he will be fresh and ready to roll.

Good chance that Rudi will split carries with Watson, if he comes back as a main component of their offense at all.
However, Ward will be targeted and they have a lot of other options on that team: Holmes, Parker, Davenpot, their tight ends.
I'd say it's a push.

You really need both. What's the rest of your lineup look like? You can't be THAT loaded.
Ward just got into a groove in Mike Tomlin's new Ben-friendly, pass-often offense and should NOT be dropped. Johnson will probably give up 30% of his carries but he's always the goal line stealer for sure. I'd pick someone else.

Hines Ward so far a ok to bad season but will pick it up. Waston is only gonna get more and more carries as he gets better.
