    Well ...

    Jacobs is injured. He is right now listed as doubtful for this game vs the Eagles. I don't see him as a good start this week.

    Jacobs:

    Driver is the next best player, but he isn't a good play either. With Farve nicked up most likely Grant is going to be getting the ball often this week. I would expect the Raiders horrible rush DEF to give up tons of yards. Also the Raiders secondary has only given up 8 TD passes all year. Not a stat I want to see when starting a player.

    Taylor vs Panthers?...*Thinks* Ooo..>Fred Taylor. I like that start. My advice is always start a RB over a WR. That being said, even though Bryant Johnson is going to sub for Boldin, I still would rather have the RB who is going to touch the ball more.

    Also with Taylor, you get MJD...who has actually been getting less carries, than Taylor. He has had back to back 100 yard games, and I would expect the same thing this week.

    Start Taylor

    Good luck!!
