mabucfan Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've made it to the championship game, and need your help in picking my #2 RB. I've been riding the hot hand w/ Charles, but Grant looks to have the better matchup this weekend: Grant vs. Seattle Charles @ Cinn Who would you start?! Need my fellow Huddlers help here, I'll be glad to answer your post. Thanks in advance, good luck, and happy holidays!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Actually, I think it's been a pretty common misconception that SEA's rush D is bad. It's been their pass D that has been atrocious, but I thought I remembered reading that they haven't let up more than 60 yards and no scores to RBs for much of the season. You might have to fact-check that for accuracy, but I don't know that Grant is an automatic start (although he might be a bit safer in non-PPR/Performance leagues). I actually own both him and Charles, and I will be starting Charles. Of course, this is PPR, however. If your league doesn't reward catches from RBs, then he is indeed a risky play with Cincy's D being stingy with both scores and at times rushers too. Summed up, I obviously like Charles better in PPR and for potential upside and possibly a score or two, whereas Grant is the safer pick for yards (but as for TDs, I don't ever think you can rely on Grant for that). Answer mine if you have an opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabucfan Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Anyone else here? Stats would say that Seattle is much weaker against the run than Cinn is . . . Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarro Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I agree with the former posting. I hope GB runs a lot and scores on the ground because i'm playing vs Rodgers, but I don't think they will, limiting Grant's stats. Charles with upside is my vote especially in PPR.

pauly Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'd go with grant simply for the fact Grant is at home against a team that may have rolled over for the season. Charles on road @ cincy doesn't seem favorable at all to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where that nosense came from. But considering SEA's pass D woes and GBs horrible Oline and Kuhn that have prevented Grant from getting opportunities to score, I just don't know that you can count on him for more than decent yardage. He's definitely the safe pick, but Charles is still the upside pick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
