For starting Kevin Jones over Brian Westbrook. Jones plays SD and Westbrook plays Dallas. Dallas has a much better run D than SD. And Westbrook only had 63 yrds the last time they played this year. Am I Crazy?

Yes.
NEVER bench a stud like Westbrook based on matchups. As a KJones owner, you of all people should know this (everyone said bench him against Dallas!).
Westbrook is Philly's entire offense. Dallas's run D couldn't stop Jones -- how will they stop Westbrook? Also, Westrbook as as dangerous as a receiver as he is a RB.
Furthermore, Martz is notorious for completely abandoning the run. 2 weeks ago the Lions had FOUR rushes the entire game.
There is no way to know if he will pull that again.
Go Westbrook, for sure.

Well, your friends at footballguys.com have Westbrook listed at #2 behind LT, and Kevin Jones at #21 for the week, in standard scoring (not PPR) formats.
Jones is feast or famine. He hit the Cowboys for 2 TDs, so it's not unreasonable to think Westbrook could do the same.
I don't think you're crazy, but you would definitely be taking the higher risk play. You could end up looking very foolish leaving Westbrook on the shelf.
Use the fantasy football category for future questions, to avoid any abuse from non-fanatsy types...

Start Westbrook.
With the Dallas pass rush, McNabb is going to have to dink and dunk all day with shovel passes and screens. Westbrook should probably get 30 touches on Sunday.

Who else are you starting or is it a 1RB league (aka weirdest league ever)? I say start them both.
Go to Yahoo, SI and ESPN and check their projections. Westbrook is heads and sholders above Jones mostly because he catches more than he carries. Westbrook IS most of the offense. If they score 28 he'll score 21 of them (3 tds, not fantasy points).

Yes. You don't bench a guy like Westbrook based on match up.... Unless they're playing the Vikings.

Not crazy...but if those are the only 2 RBs you have, its a tough week for you either way...

"I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell". You're not crazy, it's just your opinion.
