FFL Super Bowl: which RB to start? Fred Taylor or Ryan Grant?
I have LT starting, so I need to fill the other spot. Taylor is playing Oakland, and Grant is playing Chicago.

Fred Taylor has been the best rb in the NFL over like the last month so I would go with him.

Start Taylor, the OAK D has been tough recently against the pass (#7 in fewest Yards allowed). Their line has been getting pressure against the passing game.
Sapp has been collapsing pockets into the QB's face and good pressure off the edges has limited QB manuevability. OAK has two players on the top 50 in sacks: Burgess and Clemons. They are getting pressure off both edges with these guys and the DT's are collapsing the pocket into the QB. Their secondary doesn't have a true standout like DeAngelo Hall in ATL, but they are pretty good.
Their OLB Howard actually has more picks than Hall, Dre Bly, and Asante Samuel, and Anthony Henry. So the OAK D is successful by causing quick pressure and jumping the Hot Routes.
Del Rio will not turn the ball over to the ball hawking Linebackers~He will have none of that; they will run the football with the two headed monster of Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor~with a healthy dose of Greg Jones thrown in there sometimes too.
Oakland gives up a lot of yards versus the run. They aren't really set up to stop that giving up the second most yards against the run (#31 allowing 143.8 yards/game).
Chicago will shut down Grant. GB will throw more than they pass against the banged up Bears.

I would go with Taylor. The weather will be better and he's playing Oakland. Grant has played well, but he's much riskier of a pick.

Start Grant all day. Taylor has to split with Jones-Drew so he wont see as many carries as Grant will. Grant will go for about 130 and 2 tds.
