wad3 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Fairly big dilemma here for Week 10. I'm sitting at 5-4, and playing the #1 team in my league right now. This is a must win for me to even consider making it to the playoffs as I'm already back 2 games from 4th place. I'm trying to use my waiver right now to grab Torain, since Michael Pittman and Andre Hall both went to IR yesterday so let's consider him and option, so I need to know in order which 3 RB's to start. RB's: Joseph Addai, Maurice Jones-Drew, Tim Hightower, Jamal Charles, Larry Johnson [lol] Addai @ PIT Jones-Drew @ DET Hightower @ SF Charles @ SD Torain @ CLE I've pretty much decided that Addai is going to be riding the bench this upcoming week and I'm starting Hightower and hoping he can duplicate week 9 numbers. Jones-Drew is so inconsistent it's driving me crazy. Give me your Top 3 backs. Leave a link to your thread and I'll come in there and let you know what I have to say about it. Thanks in advance.

BearBroncos Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 THe game against Miami aside, I'm a huge fan of Torain and Pittman is out along with Hall and Young. Torain could have a big week against Cle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff5769 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Torain, Hightower, Jones-Drew in that order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Drew, Hightower, Torain Addai will do nothing at all vs Pitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 1) Jones-Drew against Detroit - I know, I know, but I believe this week, and I haven't believed in the past month...I think he lights up the Lions 2) Hightower - The Cards offense is frightening, I want to start any piece of it I have 3) Charles - We know that Kolby Smith is out, we know LJ is out...so Charles is the starter. SD is slumping versus the run (18th overall). Addai will struggle this week and Torain/Selvin Young will share carries more than likely, I'd stay away until we see a bit more out of the much hyped Torain. Good Luck!

FinZone Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 IMO, I would hold off on the Torain until further proof, its almost like his hype is crippling him (I keep seeing articles about this guy everywhere). I like in order: MJD, Timmy, & Charles But I rolled the dice with Slaton by playing him in his first game as a starter and that turned out to be pretty good...so it could happen with Torain as well... Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck I agree with Fin here MJD should go nuts vs a terrible Detroit D. Hightower is the #1 guy in Arizona - so I agree here Charles is the #1 in KC this week I do think Addai can get points via reception out of the backfield - but I expect him to get nothing on the ground. Torain is a risk - the rookie risk and the Shanahan risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwyatt Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I agree with the last two posts. Don't get sucked into the Torain hype just yet. I think everything is falling into place for Charles to have a VERY NICE week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Drew, Hightower, Torain Addai will do nothing at all vs Pitt +1 I too think addai will be stuffed. I give a slight edge to torain over Charles as I like KC when they are at home but on the road is a different story.

vikinglion Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Drew, Torain, Hightower. Sure Torain is a risk, but could provide such a sweet payday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
