Dr. Rock Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) I NEED to win this week or I'm out. We start 2 RB, and I have: Tiki Barber Marshall Faulk Reuben Droughns Michael Pittman Nick Goings Larry Johnson I think I've done a pretty good job of collecting RBs this year (4 of those 6 were off the waiver wire). The last month or so have been solid Tiki and Droughns. I can't see benching Droughns, especially against Miami. And I won't start Faulk, not with his knee and Jackson around. And I don't trust Larry Johnson enough yet. Which leaves me, Tiki v Pittman v Goings. I can't believe I might bench Tiki but the other two have been so good lately, especially with the Giants O sputtering and against the Ravens D. And Goings is against the awful Rams run D. And Pittman's been the man both on the ground and in the air lately. Can I really bench TIKI BARBER for NICK FREAKING GOINGS? What do you think?

slickvick Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Reuben and Pittman.The Chargers have given up a good amount of rushing TD's in the last 2 weeks.Goings is my next choice,then L.Johnson.Tiki is a great back but with Manning behind center his totals IMO will continue to slide.

Monsters Of The Midway Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I like them in this order: Nick Goings Reuben Droughns Michael Pittman Tiki Barber Marshall Faulk Larry Johnson You have a pretty solid top 4 for this week so, I wouldn't feel bad benching Tiki. Goings is hot...run with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondop Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah, I think I'd say Goings and Droughns. you could roll with Pittman, but while SD has given up some rushing TDs, they've also stuffed a lot of guys for not many yards at all. and in the goal line carries for TB Alstott lurks. I would not sweat benching Tiki. He was very hot, but before the year no one was that high on him. With Eli at the helm, against the Ravens, very late in the season for a small back (some folks believe they "wear down"), and with the solid other options that you have, I'd say go ahead and bench him, no worries.
