RB...who do you start?

Post by stlouie_lipp »

1) Gore...against a good Baltimore run defense, with Dilfer starting
2) Jacobs...back from injury, but expected to carry the bulk of the load against the Jets
3) Lynch...has been very solid this year, but playing Dallas

I have to start 2 of the 3...who do you start?

I'd probably go with Gore and Lynch.

Jacobs is back but Ward has been pretty good in his place and I don't imagine he'll be kept out of the game. You also have Droughns stealing goal line carries...though I don't know how much he'd do that to Jacobs.

Gore and Lynch, because Jacobs is going to be sharing carries this week, and who knows how many carries he'll actually get.

Not really excited about any of those match-ups, though.

But, word out of NY is that Ward will only get 5 to 10 touches, and Jacobs is a monster at the goal line...I'm so torn.

Ward may only get 10 touches, but nobody really knows how that will shake out until the game actually plays. Gore and Lynch don't have great match-ups, but at least you know the offense is going to be going through them. I would wait a week on Jacobs and see how this game shakes out.

Jacobs IMO has the potential to score you the most points of the three, or the fewest points of the three, so I would take the safer route of Gore and Lynch.

Good point there, that's probably what I'll do. But, as all fantasy players know, whichever I choose, the opposite would have been the better play. :?

Well let me know who else you are starting this week, so I can bench them ;)
