So this is my only tough bye week. would you pick up one of these guys or I have Marchawn Lynch on my bench? Earnest Graham (TB - RB) - SF Kendall Hunter (SF - RB) - TB Stevan Ridley (NE - RB) - NYJ John Kuhn (GB - RB) - ATL Isaac Redman (Pit - RB) - TENN Deji Karim (Jac - RB) - CIN
Hunter then based on matchup.......... Had 100 total yards against Philadelphia.......he'll continue to be in the mix.
With out Ridley ran, he should be a strong canidate. The Jest were getting destroyed against the run but were still decent against the pbutt. I expect a lot of draw and stretch plays from the Pats. The only drawback is Belichick's love for Green-Ellis.
I actually agree with BitB. Don't like Hunter bc the Bucs crap on the Falcons run game last week. They combined for 30 yards.
Mendenhall has a hammy injury and Redman has been running much better than him to start with. Might not be a bad pick...
Kind of in the same boat this week with Marshall, Hillis and Moss on bye and Benson facing suspension. I already have Bernard Scott in case Benson cant go but im watching real closely on Woodhead and Hightower's status for Week 5 so i can pluck Ridley or Torain.
^Nevermind on Torain this week, Washington on bye but worth monitoring going forward. Also looking at Redman as 86Ward mentioned, Titans have a stout run D but he could still have a solid day.
So here's this week's conundrum. I have to start NYG defense. Ryan Fitz vs NYG or Roethlisburger vs Jax? I never like playing a QB vs my def. two steps forward and one back.
Go with Big Ben...........although I like both of 'em. I also have Fitz and Ben on the same team in one of my leagues. I'm starting Fitz and I have the Ravens D.
Roethlisberger is the easy choice. Not even close. Fitz' production has been decreasing - 2 weeks in a row he's been under 200 passing and the Giants pass rush is one of the better he's faced. He could have a rough day. Ben probably won't put up 5 TDs, but he should be in the 250 range yardage wise...maybe 2 TDs in the air. Should be interesting to see if the O-Line gives him time against the Jags.
