Need fantasy football help

[scarletngrey11]

I can start two running backs, and I need to choose between Rudi Johnson(against chicago) or Mike Anderson(against the cheifs) or Carnell Williams(against the packers) or Willis McGahee(against atlanta)

I also dont know if i should start ward over bennett.

Well the no-brainer of that group this week is Carnell Williams against the hapless Packers. Gruden says he's going to keep feeding him the ball...that's your guy.

The worst D of the remaining group is clearly the Chiefs, but Anderson is dinged up and shares carries. Chicago has decimated Kevin Jones and Portis, so I guess in the end I'd go with Willis because he's their best player and they're at home, but I'm sure you'll get some disagreement on that.

As for the WR, I'd probably go with Bennett this weekend, as Ward has NE.

 

[BuckStocksHere]

I'd play Cadillac (though watch the injury) and McGahee

I'd play Ward over Bennett

 

[Thump]

I'd go with Cadillac and Rudi.

I'm not big on matchups, I just play the best two guys no matter the match-up.

BTW, I won my league last year using this strategy.

Totally agree with Thump on that statement. I would start Rudi and McGahee. Cadillac wouldn't be a bad start in place of Willis though.

 

[BuckNutty]

Cadillac and Rudi.

Ward usually plays well against the Patriots and he's a better player than Bennett.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Doesnt chicago have a great defense though.

 

[Bucklion]

Yes, especially against the run. I wouldn't play Rudi this week if I had a choice...I actually cut him off my cap team for this week.

 

[BuckNutty]

Can't believe I'm saying this but Cincinnati has a whole lot better offense than the Redskins or Lions, the Bears' first two opponents. You have to believe the the Bengal passing game will keep Chicago from loading the box and Rudi will get his. With Losman at quarterback I'm just not sure I could bench Johnson for McGahee, especially considering how good Atlanta's defense is.

I reserve the right to change my mind if Rudi gets shut down and McGahee runs wild.

 

[Bucklion]

The Bears D is definitely for real, but you're right, the Bengal offense is considerably better, at least against the Minnesota Suckings. Still, Portis didn't explode on them, and Jones was completely erased. He or Willis is a tough call...Atlanta's D is decent, but they're not Tampa Bay (can't believe I just said that) and Willis had a nice game at home in week 1, where they are this week.

Admittedly, it's a toss-up.

 

[BuckNutty]

I sure hope you listened to Bucklion.

 

[scarletngrey11]

I played McGahee who went 140 for a touchdown, and carnell williams, but i dont know what he stats are yet, i also ended up going with bennett because i figured it would be a shoot-out, then after the 85 yard TD pass to ward i felt like punching myself in the nads.

Not really but i was upset...

 

[Bucklion]

I sure hope you listened to Bucklion.

Well, I did well with the backs this week, but in what might be considered one of the biggest mistakes in fantasy football history, I had Joe Horn in and Steve Smith on the bench

At least he was on your bench and not being used against you.

 

[scarletngrey11]

I won, but it was close because of fucking Shaun Alexander.

140 yards and 4 TDs

That shit should be illegal.
