BioHazard asked in SportsFantasy Sports · 1 decade ago

who should i start at RB?

i have a westbrook, MJD, and micheal turner back from their byes, but i also have chris johnson against a colts D allowing over 150 rush yards per game, and thomas jones against the chiefs (207 yds, 2 TDs per game). i need 3. westbrook is a no-brainer, and i'm leaning towards MJD and johnson. your thoughts?

Update:

8 team league. though i could stand to upgrade my WRs

    First off: How many teams in your league? You are stocked at RB! If you are in a 10 or more team league, I'd suggest you trade some of these guys to upgrade at your other positions.

    Now: Westbrook is going to be banged up. He had/has broken ribs for goodness sake!!! While he is a fantasy stud, he is rushing back from an injury. You have a lot of good RBs and many of them have good matchups this week. If I were in your situation, I would have serious reservations about playing Westbrook.

    For the first spot, I base my opinion off of the Jacksonville game a couple weeks ago. MJD looked awesome last time out. I know Taylor didn't play alot because of an early injury, but MJD was so impressive that I would have to say he would be my first start.

    Chris Johnson played a bad (kansas city) defense last week and had a huge game. That tells me two things:Chris Johson plays awesome against bad run defenses, and ALWAYS Play RBs against Kansas City!!! (T. Jones).

    To summarize: MJD, C. Johnson, and T. Jones.
