Tally Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Standerd performance scoring. M. Bell vs Pitt - looks like Tinkers role will be very limited but running againist a tough D or M. Jones-Drew vs Tenn- much, much better matchup but he's still a backup and probably dosent get as many touches as Bell this week. I'm leaning towrads Bell becuase of the more definitive role and I also think he will really want to prove himself some more after last week, I know the guy is gonna run with everything he's got and then some. Anyone think the Jones-Drew matchup is too good to ignore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I have the exact same problem I'm starting Jones Drew because of the matchup. I may be wrong... but I think he will do well. They will be running a lot, and he will have to give Taylor a break Good luck.. Please see my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK23 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I too have the same problem. I was going to start Bell, but just changed it to Jones-Drew. Hard to ignore the matchup and Taylor is a little banged up too. Pitt does not give up many rushing yards, and Denver don't score many points. Right now I'm leaning towards Jones-Drew, but it could change come tommrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay1 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I would go with M. Bell. I think he will be running hard with an something to prove. He was so close to get the starting job at the start of the season, and now he has a chance to start another RB controversy. Pls. see my post (jayjay1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I'd hate to say this...but go with Mike Bell as he's going to get all the carries in a likely tight game.... good luck this week.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Bell in this case. Don't trust MJ-D getting enough touches and I know Bell will since Tater is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heydudes Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 mike bell - he is going to get the touches and who knows how many touches the guy with 2 last names will get. by the way is jones-drew a liberated woman or something? what's with the hyphen? good luck! please see mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Jones-Drew would be my choice, especially in a PPR league, or one that rewards individual points in the return game. The Steelers' run DEF is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers' run DEF is still pretty good. yes the steelers do have a pretty good defense but i think you have to go with the guaranteed touches. will you kick yourself if bell gets 80 yards and a score? and fred taylor gets a bulk of the carries this week over drew?

lkirc Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 mike bell - he is going to get the touches and who knows how many touches the guy with 2 last names will get. by the way is jones-drew a liberated woman or something? what's with the hyphen? good luck! please see mine I think I heard he was honoring a grandparent by using their name. It has nothing to do with his wife or him being a Rosie O'Donnell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His grandfather went to every one of his football games. His grandpa's dream was to see MJD play in the NFL. The grandfather died of a heart attack while at the game against Rice in Drew's junior year. Drew changed his name from Maurice Drew to its current form after the game to honor his grandpa.
