Subject: RB help for a big game


  Posted by: cblack - [23945316] Sun, Dec 02, 2007, 08:06

I need to start 2 of these running backs as I try to sewup a playoff spot:
Addai vs Jax
Rudi Johnson vs Pitt
Jamal Lewis vs Ari
Willie Parker vs Cin

There calling for tough weather again in Pitt. so I'm not sure whether to trust either back for that game.
Any thoughts?

Joe Addai, he's been pretty dependable this season, but he does have that little neck injury thing and figures to split some carries with Keith vs JAX. I think Addai gets enough touches in spite of this to be a productive back for you.

Rudi Johnson vs the Steelers @ Hienz field is not a good situation. Its a mud-hole again and the weather sitution is not expected to be the best this week. Run Away.

Jamal Lewis @ AZ, Lewis has been pretty good recently. He's an important part of the Browns offense and you know he'll get the goal line carries and most likely score a touchdown or two. I like him.

Willie Parker has disappointed all season long. He cost me valuble pts early on in the season becuase I kept believing in him. He's gone from "Fast Willie" Parker to "Worthless Willie" Parker in recent weeks. He could have a pretty good day vs the Bungles in spite of Hienz field but why risk it?

My recommendations:

Addai and Lewis

Looks like a good analysis to me.

anybody have advice on this? I have Portis, Gore, and Kolby Smith. Can start 2? Do I stick with the big names or go with the somewhat unknown?

Thankx TF - That is actually the way I was leaning as well.
