Who should I start at RB this week?

I'm currently stacked at RB, and I'm wondering who I should start. I have Mendenhall, McFadden, Best, and Hillis. I can only start 2 of the 4. Who should I pick and tell me why?

Update:

I'm stacked all the way around somehow. My whole team.

QB-Rodgers

WR-Jennings

WR-Collie

WR-Wallace/Ochocinco/Walter

TE-V. Davis

K-Rackers

DEF-Packers

    Wow you really are stacked at RB, congrats!

    Mendenhall should do just fine against a Ravens defense that just gave up 180 total yards and score to Peyton Hillis.

    Michael Bush returns this week, but McFadden is still the feature back so the most Bush can for is 5 touches. The HOU run defense has looked stiff, only allowing 3 yards per carry, but considering they faced IND, WAS, and DAL (all having lackluster running games) they haven't really been tested on the ground yet so I expect McFadden to have a great day.

    Stay away from Best this week. He's probably going to start, but he will be limited and probably lose 40% of the workload to Maurice Morris. On top of that, he won't be playing at a 100% since his speed will be hindered by his turf toe. To make matters even worse, he plays the Packers' awesome run D. To pile it on even further, Detroit will probably end up abandoning the run game after going down by 17+ points before halftime. To bring even more negativity to the situation, the Lions will be hard pressed to even score a TD in this game so don't expect to see Best getting any goal-line TDs.

    The Bengals run D is giving up 4.5 yards per carry and the Bengals' D is notoriously bad when defending the pass against RBs. Hillis is so good as a receiving back that he's potentially a runningback/fullback/tight-end...lol what can't this guy do?

    Anyway man, go with McFadden and Mendenhall. Both of these guys have earned "must-start" status. Hillis has a good matchup too, but only as a RB2 and Best should be avoided if possible.

    Go Mendenhall and McFadden. Bad matchup for Mendenhall, but I think you go with him over Best (the GB def. is good against the run and Best is dealing with a toe injury)

    Steven Jackson is a would desire to. i do unlike Jones against the Miami protection which has performed properly as of previous due. Bush is extra distinctive then Lundy! i'd definitley pass with Jackson and Bush!
