I'm in a points per reception league and this week is our championship game. Brian Westbrook is going to be my No. 1 RB but I'm facing a dilemna as to who to start as my No. 2 and No. 3. Here is a list of the guys I have available:
Steven Jackson vs. Pit
Earnest Graham @ SF
Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Oak
Kevin Jones vs. KC

Fred Taylor WAS available to my surprise. Dropped K.Jones in favor of Taylor. Still thinking it over on who to start.

i would not start jackson this week even tho he is at home...he is against the steelers defense and thats just usually not fun no matter who you are..
i like kevin jones too, and i always wanna start him because he is in such a great position to be a good fantasy back like westbrook with all the receptions and receiving yards but he has let me down so many times this year..and with john kitna playing like a donkey it doesnt make anything easier
that just leaves graham and MJD against 2 crappy run defenses..i like it...i would roll with GRAHAM on the road and MJD at home this week...good question and good luck
EDIT- no matter who else you are able to pick up at this point i would still go with the match ups..at this point in the season its no time to try to get cute

The good news is, you have some very healthy matchups... all have high potential upside.
In a PPR league it's hard to ever bench Jackson when healthy. But, Pittsburgh is tough... and has a lot to play for.
The same is true for Jones-Drew. Receptions can make up for a TD drought quickly. Hard to know how much Fred will do on any given week.
I have Kevin Jones, and he's feast or famine. KC has been generous to opposing RBs.
I would probably play matchups, and go with Ernest Graham and Jones-Drew. That should give you the best blend of health, matchup, potential TDs, and receptions.

start jackson and graham.
jackson has been a ******* machine since he came back, even if he is playin pitt, he still should get yardage.
earnest graham has been doing really well and hes playin SF.
jones-drew splits time with taylor, who is actually looking better than him right now.
kevin jones, there is always a concern about the number of touches. he got like 2 points when i started him last week and KC D is pretty decent.

Oh dear. Those are some pretty grim options. Jackson cuz the weather should keep both teams pretty grounded. Jones cuz I don't see KC scoring enough to take Jones out of the equation.

play jones-drew against a weak oakland and graham against an inconsistent san fran d that stopped adrian peterson but at the same time has given up many 100 yd games.

- Jones-Drew versus an absolutely pathetic Oakland run defense
- Jackson is coming on strong and he will get stats versus a Steeler defense that doesn't look all that strong late in the season

100% earnest graham, and jones- drew, if Fred taylor is available though, pick him up b/c he is getting the bulk uv the carries for Jaxsonville
