    Addai and Turner. after this week pull turner and put in Jones.

    you have some solid options, but none of them is a stud (must start), so let's play match-ups.

    Addai is going vs the toughest run def in the league in MIN. RBs won't get more thank 60 yds vs MIN, and no touchdowns...

    Lewis, same as above. Going vs 2nd toughest run def in PIT, must sit

    Chris Johnson showed a lot of value on week 1, and is going vs 2nd worst run def in the league in CIN. RBs averaged 150+ yds per game last season. You must play him...

    Thomas Jones going vs tough run def as well

    and Michael Turnes is a must start, because TB's run def is breakable, and he's great. Besides will not share carries...

    In summary, we have Chris Johnson and Turner as must starters...

    Now between Addai and Jones, go with the best, Addai. The colts offer a big threat in the passing game, so MIN def must open up a little bit to the run game.

    Addai

    Chris Johnson

    Michael Turner will continue with last weeks stellar performance, but not nearly as good. TB is just a mess right now. Start him for sure.

    Addai will pick up his game this week as well. The Vikes didn't do much to stop Ryan Grant from running wild and Addai is much better at this point in the game.

    Johnson was great, no doubt, but to ask him to replicate that will be hard.

    Addai and Turner.

    Joseph Addai is a starter every week and he will do better than most people expect against the Vikings run D. Michael Turner has got to be your 2nd back this week, he won't put up the numbers he put up last week but he is still a beast at running back and he is playing the Bucs and they don't have a great Run D.

    just say no to addai for sure. he had his bell rung last week and missed a third of the game, now he has to play minny.... NO WAY would i play him. jamal is still banged up as well. johnson looked fantastic last week. and i really think it will carry over this week. jones still has to play a tough run D in NE and turner was just a STUD last week. so i say stick with the hot guys and go with johnson and turner. GOOD LUCK!

    Addai for sure never bench fantasy studs. period

    and I would stay on the michael turner train hes definatly playing with something to prove this year..

    chris johnson isnt the goal line guy

    lewis is going against pitts @pitt in primetime..browns rb dont have a good track record against pitsburgh d

    jones is a solid option

  • 1 decade ago

    I'd go with Addai, the Colts are going to look better this week and he should get a TD. I'd also go with T.Jones or J.Lewis since neither share carries--based on their match-ups I'd start Jones vs. New England for the #2 spot.

    Good Luck!

    addai and the the Burner Turner!!! or Jamal Lewis whatever floats ur boat!

  • 1 decade ago

    Michael The Burner Turner he'll split time with Norwood so this should keep him fresh.

    Chris Johnson he should run all over Cinncy defense.

  • 1 decade ago

    Johnson and Turner.

    ATL- Has no passing game so look for them to run alot like last week.

    Chris Johnson - CiNNcy's Run defense is horrible. Period
