In a Bad Way RB Wise!

[House15]

I'm having serious Bye week and injury problems with my RB's. I picked up Toby Gerhart, and plan on starting him. Here's who's avaliable in my league, am I right to start Gerhart? PPR League. Thank for the help guys!

 

Reece, Marcel

Fosett, Justin

Betts, Ladell

Jones, Julius

Goodson, Mike

Smith, Kevin

Taylor, Chester

No takers?

No takers?

Since it is PPR, Gearhart looks like the least painful of this bunch. Julius Jones should get more touches, though, so if you are looking for 6-8 points in a PPR league, I would choose Jones. A sneaky play with some possibility of unexpected upside (if you need a miracle) would be Chester Taylor, as the Bears coaches have been insisting the past two weeks they are going to go RB-happy after the bye. Of course, if the Bears fall behind 14-0 or something, expect to see little from CT except pass protection.

Toby Gerhart (Arizona) - 7 receptions 10 targets. I haven't seen nothing of him but he looks very interesting.

(ARI vs RB's RUSH 208 YRDS 955 TD 7 REC 36 YDS 250 TD 1 TAR 48 AVG 21.1)

 

Reece, Marcel - (KC) 11 receptions 19 targets. he's a big play guy but it's the opportunity that worries me with Reece being a third string RB.

(KC vs RB's RUSH 161 YRDS 601 TD 5 REC 48 YARD 375 TD 1 TAR 66 AVG 16.7)

 

Fosett, Justin (GIANTS) - 15 receptions 21 targets. I like him here as a relief valve for Jesus and he's Seattle blocking back so he might get even more looks.

(GIANTS vs RB's RUSH 158 YRDS 547 TD 4 REC 23 YRDS175 TD 0 TAR 35 AVG 11.9)

 

Smith, Kevin - (NYJ) 7 receptions 11 targets. most of which came last week. Clearly the man can play it's just a question of his health more specifically his knee. He looked as good as Best last week.

(NYJ vs RB's RUSH 144 YRDS 468 TD 1 REC 15 YRDS 107 TD 0 TAR 29 AVG 7.0)

 

Taylor, Chester - 10 receptions 14 targets. best chance to get into the endzone.

(BUF vs RB's RUSH 231 YRDS 1146 TD 6 REC 22 YRDS 204 TD 0 TAR 32 AVG 22.6)

 

PPR makes it even tougher but I really do like Forsett. There all risks. safe bet is on Chester Taylor.

Forsett is no slouch, and the love affair with Lynch seems to be over.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the detail Seahawks! I'm flipping between Forsett and Taylor?
