NFL Week 12: which two RBs do I start?

Question

On the cusp of getting a playoff spot, so picking the right RBs could seal the deal. Which two are the right guys to go with?

Kolby Smith, Maurice Morris, Ron Dayne, Chester Taylor, Selvin Young

OAK's run defense is horrible but Smith is unproven. Taylor and Young may not even start...the injury reports keep changing. Thanks for any insight.

Answer 1

Hm...very tough.

I am just going to go right off and eliminate both The Dayne Train and Selvin Young. Dayne because he isn't as good as the others, and Selvin because even if he does play, he will not be 100%.

That leaves Smith, Morris and Taylor.

I, myself, am starting Smith this week. Anyone playing Oakland is a safe bet.

Morris has looked great, and plays a depleted St. Loius defense. Depleted is a gross understatement.

Taylor plays a tough Giants defense. I would sit him. Don't expect him to get anywhere near last week's numbers again.

Go with Smith and Morris. Smith could break out, but could just do nothing. For both your and my sakes, I hope it is the former.

Answer 2

Go with Maurice Morris, and Ron Dayne...Morris is like Reggie Bush with some power...he's going to get plenty of yards against a weak Rams defense running and receiving since Hasslebeck seems to target him a whole lot when he's coming out of the backfield...Ron Dayne has shown some promise, and against an awful Cleveland defense, he should do plenty of damage.

Answer 3

chester taylor and selvin young. Chester has come off a completely humendous game. Selvin young is the only man for the brocos and will run over chicago, LITERALLY

Answer 4

even tho chester taylor is playing the giants, i would still start him. ive watched every minnesota game this year and they always leave it to the rbs because the pass sucks. hes gonna start no matter wat so u might as well just play him
