Fred Taylor or Maurice Jones-Drew against Oakland in week 16?

Which back should I play? I have Jones-Drew now and can pick up Taylor. It looks like taylor will get more touches. I have also read on a few sites that Jones-Drew may see less then half this week. I also noticed Oakland has one of the worst rushing defenses (both yards and touchdowns) so I would like to pick one of them. I also have Brian Westbrook, Rudi Johnson, Edgerin James, and (Jones-Drew). I plan on playing westbrook along with either Taylor or Jones-Drew and it is the last game for the championship. I am not worried about picking up a player because i have one free pick up left.

Additional info is rushing and receiving yards are 1 pt for every 20 yards with an extra point at the 100 mark. Rushing, passing, receiving, and return TD's all count for 6 pts and fumbles are -2. If you need more info just ask.

    taylor-- Drew isn't producing great the last few weeks and Taylor had a great game last week, plus Oakland has a tough Defense so a hard runner will get the nod for more carries

    Taylor. Forget MJD. Taylor has been the man in recent weeks, and Oakland gives up a ton of points to RBs. Westbrook/Taylor is formidable. Do it. Good luck.

    fred taylor for sure. you are probably in ur championship game right now and he is the one more consistent. although drew gets more of the goal line plays, if he doesn't score, he will probably get just a few points. i would go with taylor who has been on fire lately with over 500 yds in his last 6 games

    it somewhat is wierd, they get an identical quantity of play time. if no longer fred taylor receives extra. the only difficulty i will think of roughly for that's that jones-drew would be slightly swifter and he has an excellent form of massive returns whilst he returns kick off's or punts. yet i definately think of taylor is the extra advantageous decrease back
