Which RB do I start this week?


Recommended Posts

Here is my weekly question. I have been using Sproles as my # 2 but I have picked up a couple of weekly starters. Do I keep starting Sproles or go with a starter against a tougher defense?

 

League scoring is:

 

.5 pt per reception, 1 pt per 15 yards rushing / receiving, 6 points per TD, 6 pt bonus at 150 yards receiving or rushing, and 1 pt per 25 return yards.

 

Sproles at Denver (rush def has been torched 2 weeks in a row but will Denver score giving Sproles return yardage opportunities?)

 

Betts at Dallas

 

Forsett at Minnessota

 

Please leave a link and I'll answer yours.

 

Thanks

If it was PPR I'd say toss in Forsett, but given your scoring system I like Betts at Dallas. Not a great match up for him, but the Skins will run it some in the first half and he may get active in the passing game.

 

I think the bolts will run a lot of LT at Denver minimizing Sproles and really limiting his value to return yardage.

 

Go with the guy getting the most carries...Betts

 

Best of Luck,

I agree with most responses so far... I had Sproles earlier this year and traded him and kinda regreted it. You never know what LT is going to do.

Can see your concerns.

Minn. D is good against the run. So Betts would be your best option in my opinion. Good luck and thanks for reading mine!

I am going to bring this topic back to life because I've decided to rule out Betts against the Cowboys.

 

Forsett has 10 catches over the last 2 weeks and will get the carries against the Vikings. Sproles has 9 catches over the last 2 weeks and has the advantage of return yardage.

 

So would you start Sproles or Forsett? I'm leaning towards Forsett. Even after the run game is abandoned I expect they will have plenty of drop off passes to him.

 

Thoughts?

Before reading any of the other posts in this thread, I thought Forsett was the best option. Forsett will find the going tough running against the Vikes, but he'll be a valuable asset on the outside as he should have a good shot for a half dozen reception. I think I'd roll with him.

Here's my take (pretty much in line with the majority):

 

Betts - will get 90% of the touches w/Portis out

Forsett - will get 95% of the touches against MIN, not sure the .5 PPR will help

Sproles - LT will get the vast majority of touches @ DEN as he is the hot hand right now

I like Forsett as well. I get a ppr and think he's my best flex option as well.

I have considered Maroney, V.Davis, or D.Hester.

Anyone feel that either of these 3 are a better start this week. I don't really love Forsett's matchup either.
