Who do i start?

Mike Tolbert- splits time with Matthews/goaline back

Beanie wells- starter going against San frans D

Ryan Grant- Is the starter due to Starks being out. But the coaches seem to like Saine from Osu a bit also.

What a conundrum!
 
I have a hard time seeing going right with any of those picks.

San Fran doesn't allow much against anyone.

Tolbert doesn't get as many carries but could be a threat to at least get a TD.

Grant will probably get most carries and the Raiders defense isn't good.

If it were me I'd rate them this week as Grant, Tolbert than Wells but I wouldn't feel comfy with any of them getting too many points.
 
Green Bay RBs never get TDs. They run the ball about 10x a game.

Tolbert could score, but he's a risk.

At least Beanie will get carries. Niners don't give up much, but the opportunity will be there. Plus, the niners rarely blow anyone out so they will be running throughout most likely.

No to Grant. Coin flip between Tolbert and Wells. Tolbert is losing carries to a emerging Matthews. But Wells had ran for only 33 yards against the 49rs last time. Pretty tough choice, but I would go with Tolbert mainly because they are going to move the ball pretty easily against the Bills which will give Tolbert more opportunities.

I would go with Tolbert then Grant. No to Wells, as the San Fran D doesn't give up rushing TD's at all hardly. I, like the others before me, don't really like any of them.

How about this one though (and I don't mean to hijack the thread):
Sproles @ Ten
or
Blount @ Jac ?

I'm leaning more towards sproles because Ingram is out this week.

I have the same issue. Last week, my 3 backs were Gore, Blount, and Murray. They combined for 11 points. I was less than impressed. I also have Sproles on my bench as well, so this week, that's who I'm probably going with.

Sproles should be a starter week in week out for you. I would then rotate between Gore and Murray depending on who has the better matchup. Stay away from playing Blount.

Id play Sproles and Murray this week. Giants run d is pretty bad. Gore wont get as many carries with the division already locked up.

Wells and Tolbert. Saine has been getting a lot of carries and is running well. It seems like Grant barely gets the ball. When he does he gets 4-8 but he doesn't get many carries. Not only that but when they are on the goal line they give it to KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN.

I have 2 spots and 4 guys.
Ryan Matthews
Demarco Murry
Darren Sproles
CJ Spiller.

I'm going with Murry and Matthews but I'm scared Spiller and Sproles will make me feel sorry for starting matthews

Saine has 8 carries this year.
 
I would put all of these names on a little piece of paper, put them in a Chicago Bulls starter cap, and draw 2, cause you're probably screwed with any combo you choose.
 
Any time for a flex question?

Who's more likely to get 100 yds and/or a TD?

AJ Green (playing against Joseph)

R. Mathews (getting more carries and back to back 100 yard games/also playing Buffalo but loses goal line carriers to Tolbert.

Start Murray, Fiammetta is coming back. Mathews has a good matchup against the Bills, but he's is injury prone. Sproles will get you the total yards, but Mathews has the better chance to score. Spiller I don't trust. Go with what you said and don't look back.

1) Beanie
2) Tolbert
3) a WR if you can flex would be better option than starting any Packer RB and depending on your WR I may even look at starting one over Tolbert.
