Tough one. Both have decent matchups. I like Jones chances of getting a TD against Oakland. Go with the bonafide starter Jones. This one could go either way.

green bay has been having a lot of problems against the run (27th) whereas they're 7th against the pass.

oakland is a little better against the pass (19th) but almost as bad against the run (25th)


it's really a toss up at this point. thomas jones has quietly been having a solid season. rhodes will be getting pretty much every carry with addai and hart out.

i'm with PuRock. go with the guy that's been a starter all season.

T. Jones - 159 RuYd, Recpt - 16 FFP
D. Rhodes - 73 RuYd, 2 RuTD (3,1), 41 ReYd, 4 Recpt - 27 FFP

Well I was wrong about that one. How did Thomas Jones run for 159 yards with no touchdowns. Usually they break a long TD run to get that many yards. No Receptions for T. Jones added to a poor fantasy perfomance despite having an excellent game.

[haolesarelunch]

yeah i know. thanks guys. i actually started rhodes despite your advice. hooray for gut instinct

Jamal Lewis or Leron McClain?

I have Jamal penciled in right now.

[Devastat1on]

I'd play Le'Ron against Oakland instead of Jamal against Jacksonville..

jax is 17th against the rush, allowing an average of 110.8 yards rushing a game.

mcclain shares carries with 2 other running backs. he has 71 carries for the YEAR, averaging under 12 a game. in fact, his role has become smaller over recent weeks now that flacco is becoming more in tune with the offense.

lewis is THE starter and will get the share of the carries. the browns also suspended Kellen Winslow for this game, and anderson is struggling. look for them to rely on lewis.

i think you gotta go with the legit starter on this one

I agree 100%. Legit Starter over shared back anyday. Unless the matchup is ridiculous.

[H8R]

Thats my feelings too. The only reason i was considering Leron is because I feel we will face a lot of short yardage/goal line situations, but now with Willis seeming to have some pop back...Jamal it is! My other two backs are Lynch and Jacobs.

[Moderator 9]

jacobs and lynch are both better choices than jamal though. jacobs has been on fire, and lynch has been very consistent

[Baltimorebigshot55]

who do you think....peyton manning against steelers or flacco this week?

[H8R]

Flacco, if you must pick one.

my chance:

Randy Moss
Bernard Berrian
Kevin Curtis?

I have Moss in but something tells me Berrian may get the start!

[Moderator 9]

berrian has been a blessing in disguise this year, thanks to gus frerrote. it's a toss up between the two. both matchups are favorable

[Moderator 9]

actually....i just noticed something. go with moss.

the bills have 2 members of their secondary out this week, and aaron schobel.

moss is a must start

[H8R]

My reasoning for pulling for Moss, is that Cassel has been getting better and Moss does not have a stretch of sub par games since in a PATS uni.
