0-16 Again Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) I have three very good to great RB options - need two Rice vs. Cleveland Blount vs. Seatle Mendenhall vs. Carolina 1pt per yard rushing and receiving 40pts per TD Thanks leave link and I will give opinion Edited December 21, 2010 by 0-16 Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treysdad Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Rice did not have a good game against Cleveland in week 3. 80 rush yards and 16 receiving. Benson had a great game, 150 rush yards and a score but he had 40 touches. That's alot for a RB but CIN has no QB at the moment. It's almost like the whole team has given up. BAL has a decent QB but I think that's who beats CLE this week, not Rice. This coming from someone who has Rice, is in the Championship and I am most likely benching him for F. Jackson. Your best two options with the best matchups are Mendenhall and Blount (I will be at this game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3422 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 My # 1 would be Mendenhall out of those 3 based on matchups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkris Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I would go with rice/mendenhall. Rice has been playing good lately and mendenhall is agaisnt carolina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overworkedirish Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) I'm in a similar dilemma... after Rice's breakout last week, I'm having some serious trouble with the idea of benching him - I'm also in a PPR league though, so that may influence that. Keep something in mind. Rice's game vs. the Saints was as lethal in the air as it was on the ground. The Saints are ranked 4th in pass defense. Flacco and Rice have a great connection, and there's no reason to think that won't resurface in the Cleveland game. For that reason, I think Rice has a higher upside than Blount.

Guinness Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I would go with Rice and Mendenhall. Blount shows promise, but he hasn't really been consistent enough for me. I think Rice has probably disappointed a lot of people, but he's just too good to sit over someone unproven, especially in a favorable matchup. And Mendenhall should have a nice day against the dregs of the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team And Another Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Mendenhall, Blount, Rice in that order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borge007 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Blount. Mendenhall, Rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityOfChampions Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Keep in mind Rice got 80 yds rushing but on only 15 carries (5+yds/carry). Cleveland couldnt stop him. Rather it was Boldin's home debut (8rec/142/3tds). The Ravens didnt have to go to the run. Boldin has cooled off and Rice has heated up so theres no reason to see a repeat effort like in week 3. Go Rice, Mendenhall, Blount in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0-16 Again Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 kinda seems Mendenhall is a given for most but split on Rice or Blount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plax02 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 alright than just go Rice for my sake then.. im telling ya man... its the play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xagent0024 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Mendenhall and Blount. The Seahawks on the road will get crushed by the run game this week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatboutbob Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 a rule of mine, just my opinion of course, is that in the playoffs, you gotta go with the big names. especially when they are playing for something as well. so i would go wuth rice and mendenhall. besides, the TB SEA game could see alot of throwing. hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma4444 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Blount is sketchy. Rice didn't have the best game the first time around, but he's been picking it up and is sure to get his touches in. Rice and Mendenhall are the best choices.

gatorbite35 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 mendenhall for sure. Between rice and blount...blount has the better match up but i like to go with the proven player here for the superbowl. So rice for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte Yard Dash Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Mendy for sure Between Blount and Rice. Blount has better matchup for sure but Rice is a beast and is on fire. Play safe and start Rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
