who would you start?

Bettis or steven jackson or portis or julius jones?

bettis might have to share the load
jackson is playing the 49ers
portis is playing the giants with their weak front seven
jones is playing seattle who just have sucked recently.

Portis is the first round pick, that everyone still has hope for, but I'd probably start Jones. Portis has screwed me over for too many weeks.
 
Jones for sure until any of the other guys show you they can perform consistantly. I always like to go with whos hot and matchups and Jones is one of the premier backs this week in that respect.

Jones is going to carry the entire load. Two of those four aren't starters, and Joe Gibbs has enough confidence in Portis these days to sit him after 6 carries against the Steelers.

My "Clinton Portis is overrated" thing is looking better and better, by the way.

Jones, definitely.

Alright I got a question-

Pick One:
David Carr (vs. NYJ)
Aaron Brooks (vs. CAR)
Kerry Collins (vs. KC)

?

You would think it would have to be Collins, since KC's defense is pure shit. Is the game home or away? What's the weather forecast?

Home. 40 Percent Chance of Showers. I was leaning toward Collins (just picked him and Porter up this week).
 
I'm going to be playing Bettis along with Brown and Dillon this week

Fucking Priest Holmes is STILL injured

ugh

Fifty...regardless, you are going DOWN

Cousin David. No doubt about it. Andre Johnson will have a breakout game this week.

You're excluded from participation b/c you have a vested interest. It'd be like asking Konex if Kobe will have a good game. I do have Andre in 2/3 of my leagues though so that would be fine w/ me.

they call me "Man Gravy".
you'd be fucking crazy to start Portis. The guy has been down all year. Quit waiting for him to become Clinton Portis of last year - it's not happening. Start Julis Jones. The Cowboys will want to run, he's shown he has good moves, plus he's much fresher than any other back. The Rams will still throw 3 out of every 4 plays so don't play Jackson, and Bettis will share carries with Staley. Jones is far and away the best start.

Bettis shares the load but will get TDs if it's a goal line situation

Jackson will share with Faulk.

Portis.... how is he even a question? Granted the Giant's run D isn't great, but the Redskin's offense is so pathetic that when they scored a TD in the last game all I heard from 'skins fans was "Woah they finally scored a TD". It wouldn't be worth it.

Jones is your man here. Just look at his performance on thanksgiving against a strong run D.

My question tho... I got Trent Green and Big Ben. Who do I start? Green has hurt ribs but is playing Oakland. Ben is healthy but is in a slump.

Also, Tiki Barber, or Nick Goings? Barber is playing the #3 overall defense in the league, no matter how good he is, that's a factor, let alone that he got 6 stitches in his knee last week. And the Giants offense is sputtering as well. Goings is facing New Orleans. #32 rated defense... argh, who do I play.

Tough call...I'd say it depends on where you are in the standings. If you think you need to take a risk, I'd go with Goings...even though on paper he's more of a sure thing, I wouldn't trust him like Tiki. It's tough, either one could be considered a risky pick. Goings (unproven) Tiki (against a tough D) Personally I'd start Tiki. Much as I hate the Steelers, I'd go with Ben over Trent. And for Astro, I'd take Collins as well. I think David's a good QB, but Collins is against Kansas...

Portis got 148yds and 1 TD!!

Don't worry, if you woulda started him he woulda had 23 yards, 1 Fumble.

Don't you know that's how fantasy football works?
