Should I start Thomas Jones (vs Stl) or Willie Parker(vs Ind)?

Thomas Jones- He's more trustworthy as he has been very consistant and this is an insanely good match for him but there is the Leon Washington factor that can take a TD and with Brett Favre passing its got its ups and downs but every week its been like that and he's pulled through. Jones is making a habit of scoring recently. He has five touchdowns in his past four games and The Rams have allowed 398 rushing yards and four touchdowns the past four games.

Willie Parker- The Colts much improved secondary and horrible rush defense does favor Parker (and Moore is who still getting touches).The Steelers will likely rely on Parker with Ben Roethlisberger dealing with an injured shoulder. The Colts know that also, but they will struggle to stop a healthy Parker in this matchup.

I'm starting LT also btw because he's a must start now that his toe is back to 100%.

    Tough call, but I like Parker this week, he looked decent against the Skins who are a lot better against the run than the Colts are, plus you never know what Mangini is going to do.

    Watch and see if Haynesworth is lower back in. Miami did a solid interest protecting up Parker, and he's massively greater proper to Jones. If Haynesworth isn't on the Tenn line, put in Dayne. If no longer, fall lower back to Jones.

    Some things to consider, first Bob Sanders is likely to return for the Colts, Leftwich is not as elusive as Big Ben, so LB's aren't frozen by him. TJ is the safer match up for points, but FWP has the bigger upside to gain. I'm going with TJ this week.

    I would go with Jones actually. Step 1 of the jets calming down Favre is complete, step 2 is to get jones going.

    The rams and the colts both suck against the run.

    Parker will have the better day though.
