Would I be crazy not to start an RB?

I'm playing in a 20 team league and I'm very happy with my roster. I am a little banged up and the victim of some untimely byes this week, and I only have one RB that will be active. I'm projected to lose by two points if I leave the RB2 slot unoccupied.

My roster:

QB: Matthew Stafford

RB1: Ryan Matthews

RB2: Doug Martin (doubtful to play)

WR1: Emmanuel Sanders

WR2: Tyrell Williams

TE: Clive Walford

Flex: Sammie Coates

D/ST: Cowboys

K: Caleb Sturgis

Bench:

Allen Hurns (bye)

Michael Thomas (bye)

Christine Michael (bye)

Chris Ivory (bye)

Quincy Enunwa

Sam Bradford

Jeremy Langford (doubtful to play)

The only available RBs in my league are pictured. I don't feel confident that any of those guys will produce. What should I do?

    One guy that might be flying under the radar is Kenneth Dixon for Baltimore. He's back this week which led to the Ravens cutting Forsett and has a very good match up against the Redskins. Even if he's behind West this week on the depth chart, he could be the starter in a few weeks. I'd pick him up for Langford if available. Otherwise, Tolbert may get you goal line carries in a good match up and is a reasonable pick up for Langford.

    The picture worked fine. Not sure what you mean by "untimely byes", since those were known before the season started and before you drafted. But if Washington doesn't play this week for Detroit, then Zenner could do some things.

    The picture didn't work. But the available guys are Joique Bell, Zach Zenner, Mike Tolbert, Alfred Blue, Kyle Juszczyk, and Taiwan Jones. Not exactly the best options and I'd risk losing one of my guys for a back I'll only use for one week.
