stduke Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) I have Jackson already starting...should I play F. Taylor (splitting carries) vs Tenn or K. Jones Vs Atlanta...thanks in advance.

bowlofjelly Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 You're in good shape either way.I would favor Taylor slightly,based on the competition their against and the real probability their time of posession should be large and Taylor should get 20 carries eve if he splits the load with Drew.I'd give Taylor about a 3 pt edge.

heydudes Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 i'd start kevin jones. he is the primary back in detroit and has the second most receptions on his team with 37. he is up there in rec. for running backs too. the key here is k. jones is the featured back and jones-drew had 20 carries last week. 4 more than taylor. i'd say definitely start kevin jones and don't think twice! k. jones is on his way up and fred taylor is on his way down. good luck!

Football Fever Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I agree, I'd lean towards Taylor. I like them both but Taylor's match-up is better than Jones. checkout my post, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlofjelly Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Dudes makes some good points about Jone's receiving production.However it is a false claim to say Taylor is on his way down.If Taylor is healthy he will produce.Jags are splitting carries cause they have 2 good backs and are smart enough to stick with the strength of their offense.I wish my WHOLE team was filled with down and outs,then I could take the league.

I agree with heydudes. Taylor is on his way down in his career and is splitting carries. Even though I like the matchup against Ten D especially if Jac is playing at home I think I would play Jones coming off a bye week fresh and ready for ATL also because he is not splitting carries.
