Cowboyz1 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) I gotta hunch this kid shows the world what he is made of and steps up huge for the Cowboys this week. I am going with the tough Choice and on a hunch think he goes for 100 yards and a TD. Cowboys run on Pitt this weekend like no other team this year with Choice leading the way. I'm starting the kid. With the playoffs on the line and all, I going with Choice. Anyone with me? Was considering running Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush out there but I felt the same risk with Pierre and Choice. Plus I like the kid from Georgia Tech. Rumbling over Pit or a Ramblin Wreck. Either way I'm running him out there on the snowy field in Steel town.

Robash Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 apparently just you and Wade Phillips are the only ones with faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hell no! You are letting your Cowboy IQ get in the way of your fantasy team. I guarantee he doesn't hit 60 yards. I doubt he scores, but goal line runs are fluky. Witten could get tackled on the one yard line... However I did pick him up so he couldn't be used against me in the following playoff weeks (provided I win of course)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 apparently just you and Wade Phillips are the only ones with faith I'm starting him simply because I have no other choices, not only that but my other RB is Portis. Chances of me getting eliminated in the first round 99%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I don't see Choice being a viable, umm, choice this week. Unless you're severely in need. Like Slayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 No way would I start Choice over Viva La France. +1 Picked them both up in the same league, and I'm going with Pierre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I was pondering Pierre and Bush both in my lineup this week. But I just have a good feeling about this kid Choice. I realize it goes agaisnt every FF principle, Rookie, Bad Matchup, Bad Weather, 1st Start, # 1 D and all but the Steelers haven't been really tested IMO. All I know is this is going to be one hell of a game to watch on sunday. I also have Matt Jones in his last game which could mean they try to work in Reggie and the others knowing he will not be with them the rest of the season. Choices and more Choices................................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) Sure, he'll get 100 yards on the Steelers. All running backs find great success running against the Steelers. Edited December 7, 2008 by Menudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choices and more Choices................................ Yes, the Steelers haven't been tested. They only played the toughest schedule in the NFL this year, and based on winning percentages from the previous year, it was the toughest anyone has played since the 70's.

Menudo Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 By the way, I do like that you are going out on a limb and going with your gut. Who knows, you could turn out to be correct and will look brilliant. However, the odds are strongly against you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Leading rushers vs. Steelers this year: New England: Faulk = 73 yards Cincinnatti: Benson = 35 yards San Diego: LT = 57 yards Indianapolis: Addai = 34 yards Washington: Portis = 51 yards New York: Jacobs = 47 yards Cincinnatti: Benson = 51 yards Jacksonville: Taylor = 19 yards Baltimore: McClaine = 63 yards Philadelphia: Buckhalter = 43 yards Cleveland: Lewis = 38 yards Houston: Slaton = 43 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Muto Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I am going with McClain over T-Choice That is how much faith I have in him...so you can mark him down for about a buck twenty and 2 TD's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 The league I have him in, I'm on a bye, but I don't think I would start him unless one of my primary backs (Addai and Williams) or the backups (Rhodes and S Morris) failed me. With this being his 1st start, and facing the Steelers (gee I wonder why Menudo hasn't said anything yet ) I wouldn't consider it unless I absolutely had to.
