This weekend is a bad week for Eddie Lacy, MJD, Ray Rice and Steven Jackson owners. The chances of Jones-Drew and Rice playing are very minimal, but Bernard Pierce is a much better option that anything the Jaguars can throw out. If you landed James Starks in place of Eddie Lacy, you could wind up getting just one week of action out of him as it sounds like Lacy could return after the Packers' Week 4 bye. David Wilson's value has been plummeting all year. One has to wonder how long before we see Brandon Jacobs get in the mix for carries.We have a lot of questionable running-backs in playing in week 3, some still in our rankings.
Eddie Lacy (concussion, targeting week 5
Maurice Jones-Drew (sprained ankle, legitimately questionable)
Ray Rice (hip flexor strain, likely game-time decision, but I doubt he plays)
Steven Jackson (quad, rules out)
Reggie Bush (knee, probably questionable)
Shonn Greene (knee, likely out a few weeks)
Bush is about the only guy I trust in week 3 on this list.. check status before you start injured player and you can always sign up for our services and we will email you their status 1 hour before game time in most cases.
Can't wait to see how Spiller performs versus a run defense that has surrendered just 59.5 YPG. This is also a great week for owners of Marshawn Lynch. They just have to prepare for the possibility of seeing Robert Turbin replace him once Seattle attains a huge lead.Created with WP Rankings Plugin. Powered by: Fantasy Knuckleheads
