Who do I play at running back? I'm currently down (Thanks Cam) in a two week championship. I need some points from my RB2 (My RB1 is David Johnson). Who should I play. I have the following options:

 

 

Cameron Artis Payne/Jonathan Stewart (if he plays) (Tampa Bay)

Karlos Williams (Jets)

Eddie Lacy (Min)

James White (Mia)

Blial Powell (Buf)

CJ Anderson (SD)

 

This is standard.

I actually like Powell the most. If ppr, he's my #1 of these, with James white not far behind. If standard, I stil Ike Powell the most. Ivory has been a disappointment for weeks now, Powell has been doing much more than ivory with fewer touches. Seeing as jets need a win to guarantee a playoff spot, I can see Powell getting the start, and many more touches this week against a bad bills defense.

Cameron Artis Payne/Jonathan Stewart (if he plays) (Tampa Bay)- neither, safer options

Karlos Williams (Jets)- McCoy out so yes

Eddie Lacy (Min)- pass on fatty

James White (Mia)- yes, not other real option, SJax was finished 2 years ago

Blial Powell (Buf)- He'd be my 3rd choice

CJ Anderson (SD)- pass, too risky

Bump. So are you suggesting playing Karlos or are you suggesting White? I have David Johnson as my RB1.

I think you go with Karlos for sure, then Powell and White

 

White's upside is due to all of NE WR being out, I don't like the running back situation in Carolina, Powell seems to be getting more and more touches, Lacy is undependable same with Anderson although I think he has a good game.

 

J Stew might be a good option if they say he's healthy enough to play. But CAP hasn't done anything to prove he should be on a FFL championship team roster.

I'm a little surprised most people are saying Karlos. He's good, but mike G is taking touches, and it's the jets defense.

Yeah, with Powell I'm worried if the Jets go up (which I think they may against Buf) and that Ivory will then just pound the rock.

wouldn't try to guess on either of them at this point

 

(RotoWire)Ivory (knee) did not practice Wednesday, NJ.com reports.Analysis: Nor did fellow RB Bilal Powell, though at this stage, of the two, it appears as though Powell's sore ankle may be of more concern to the Jets as Sunday's regular season finale against the Bills approaches

I read that both Powell and ivory practiced on a limited basis in Wednesday..

Eddie Lacy. Don't laugh, with the offense reeling and clearly needing to establish a run game (well any game really) Green Bay could focus on the run. I think Starks lost McCarthy's trust with the ball last week.

Yeah I have the same sort of thought-- Lacy has screwed me everytime I started him, but maybe he comes through in the clutch? It looks like J-stew is going to be out though, does that make CAP startable? He's really the only RB in that backfield with Fozzy bear out.

It didn't look like Carolina wanted to run without Stewart last week vs a very soft Atlanta D

Yeah, I saw that. But if they go up big against TB, maybe they would run it more. Against ATL they were never up big. Anyway, I'm currently thinking Lacy actually.
