    I can't decide. I will start Steven Jackson vs the Cardinals, but every other RB I have matches up against a top-10 run defense. I could go with any one of them, or pick up Laurence Maroney as a FA to start against Detroit. Opinions?

    Shaun Alexander at Denver (leaning toward after last night, but no TDs and a very good run D at the NFLs best home-field advantage.)

    Chester Taylor at Chicago(he's been on a great run the past couple of weeks, and a good recieving threat, but its the Chicago D, which has only given up 4 rushing TDs all season)

    Thomas Jones vs Minnesota (not very likely. Minnesota has the #1 rushing D in the league, and Minn will load up to stop the run and make Rex throw.)

    Willis McGahee vs San Diego (could be shut down, or could get 100yds and 2 TDs, who can tell?)

    Maroney FA vs Detroit (A no-brainer if he weren't a platoon back, and Dillon didn't get the red-zone carries.)

    Maroney is a free agent in your league? Jesus. I had to pick up Jason Wright this week since I lost Brown to injury. Maroney would be like Gold at this point.

    Taylor is fantasy gold with his garbage time production.

    Going with Alexander. According to one of the Yahoo experts, Denver's D has given up great numbers to RBs the last three weeks. Thanks for everybody's input.

    Oh, BTW, I already ditched McGahee and Jones anyway. I might pick up McGahee in a few weeks if I have to, but with Taylor, Jackson, and Alexander, I should be fine.

    I've got Alexander starting too, alongside McGahee.

    Guess who was a FA in my league...Reggie Bush. Now why didn't I think of that? Well, he's mine now :up:
