abishagenaden Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 No PPR. Bonus points for long TD runs/catches. I intend to start 2 of these 3 (no flex available) -- 1) Portis (@CIN) - Had a cat-fight with Zorn couple of days ago but they appear to have kissed and made up. Allegedly banged up, and his O-line is in trouble due to injuries too. Their air game has gone to hell, so they'll probably just run on CIN. Or will they? 2) T.Jones (vs BUF) - Coles is banged up, and Favre hasn't been on fire, but Jones has been. So-so run matchup, and should do well as long as the Jets go up early. 3) Stewart (vs DEN) - Best matchup of the 3, coming of a huge game, but at the end of the day he's #2 in an RBBC. Help!!

kenya kid 24 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I would play Portis, and williams. Both of those guys have the best team matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog duck Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm in the same boat you are, but add Pierre Thomas to the mix. I am rolling with Jones because of his consistency. I can't decide who to go with after that. It's great that Portis has gotten healthy (allegedly), but his O-line woes worry me. Stewart was a beast last week. Can he do it again? It's in Denver. My gut says that Stewart is more reliable than Portis at this point, but either one could have a big day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't see how you can sit Thomas Jones at this point, even in an off week like last week he was still solid. Portis is going to go off this week, lock it down. Stewart is probably going to be solid against Denver. I go Portis and Thomas and feel good about both of those as long as no new injury news comes out about Portis Best of Luck, WashD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abishagenaden Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 It's times like these when I hate having options....the amount of hair-pulling that ensues on Sunday afternoons isn't even funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year trade 2 of your options for a better option so you have less options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 0ne Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Portis is going to go off this week, lock it down. Based on what? His O-line is decimated, he's had words with the HC, he's sucked balls the last 2 weeks, and the entire Skins offense has been terrible. Not busting your balls, but I would clearly bench Portis this week if I had other decent options. He might go off, but the risk/reward ratio doesn't make it worth it imo.

I don't know...he practiced yesterday already and you can bet he will get his chances this weekend. Zorn will give him 25 carries. There are only a few better options this week IMO.

There are only a few better options this week IMO. I totally disagree. But that's cool. I just think he's banged up and won't be able to overcome the O-line injuries. I'm expecting 50 yards and 0 TD's, so I think there are TONS of better options. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smells like a trap matchup, CIN isn't that bad against the run either, I believe. So I take it you would consider Jones and Stewart better options than Portis in this situation, H1?

I think one of Cinn's Dline is hurt too...could be wrong. I guess we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
