wpayers Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Since plucking Murray off WW I now have a nice weekly dilemma. I start 2 RBs with no flex. My RB set was usually automatic with Rice/Forte. But with Murray's emergence, Barber's TD vulture of Forte and the Ravens's inconsistent use of Rice, I am having the yips. Last week I benched Rice, which felt very odd, and went with Murray/Forte. It was the right move. This week it appears that Forte has the best match-up but the others should have good games as well. Please pick 2 of 3. Thanks in advance and will return the favor by answering yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Dogs Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I think it depends on your scoring. A PPR league, I think you have to start RICE and FORTE, as I think this week, Felix will steal some of the catches that MURRAY has been getting the past four weeks. If it is a TD league, I would go woith FORTE and MURRAY, RICE is a GREAT performance league RB and it is hard to sit him, but they play the BENGALS this week, who surprisingly enough, have a really good Rushing Defense Good Luck Mine is on the board if your wish to answer Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiseman155 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Tough call. You have to start Rice. I don't think they are going to make the same mistake twice by giving Rice 5 carries. I think they'll have to run the ball tomorrow. Forte has been on a minor downslide since Cutler's arm came alive. Not to mention that Martz continues to give goalline touches to Barber. Murray is a beast and Dallas is committed to giving him the ball 20 times a game. Rice and Murray would be my plays for this week. Thanks for your help.

gamstutz Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I vote you stay with your usual lineup. I won't trust the Cowboy's backfield situation until I see how it plays out when Jones is back from his ankle injury. He's a good back and a legitimate threat to steal carries away from Murray. Go Rice/Forte http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=369961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Murray is running wild and playing a much easier defense against the run. Check your poll at pigskinboss.com. It's the top question right now. This way you can get more than just one opinion - make the decision a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpayers Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Just as I thought, most of you favor Forte but are equally split on Rice vs Murray. Have over 100+ views so I assume my situation warrants some interest. Please more input in the overnight. I will answer yours. Thanks in advance.

maddenking Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Wish I had the same choices!!! would go with Forte and Murray. I understand sitting Rice is hard but I think Murray will get you more today. Thanks got the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petro69 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Matchup wise I would lean towards Murray and Forte this week. Forte should have a huge day and you have to ride the hot hand in Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaw23 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 As good as Murray has been you just can't bench Rice and Forte. No way I see the Ravens only giving Rice 5 carries again this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonny4425 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Murray and Forte. Normally i say never sit ur studs....but I think Murray has earned that status...Felix Jones is a backup now, even when healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Postmortem. I finally settled on Murray/Forte an sat Rice. Lost my game by 5pts. Had I started Rice I would have coasted. Of course Rice went off, Murray had decent numbers and Forte laid an egg. With my league scoring system (1pt for every 10yds after first 50yds for rushing and receiving): Rice - 20 pts Murray - 3pts Forte - 1pt My only comfort is I went with the trends, hot hand and the Huddler's votes (see this post's poll results); lessons learned, there are no lessons in Fantasy Football. Hindsight is the surest route to insanity. I'm taking my runny nose and bloodshot eyes and settling back to the fetal position in the corner of this dark room.
