Yeah I may change it back to Brown, but I like Peyton Manning on the road against a bad team to get a big lead and get the touches for Moreno. TB isn't that bad and I think if they shut down Brown the Eagles will continue to foldThe Sproles/Jennings/Moreno choice is the harder one for me...

Not Martin and not Spiller.
It is a good matchup, just not a fan of TNF priduction this year.

Good point, it would be interesting to find a RB/QB splits in Thursday night games, maybe the run games produce better.

Not that I have a horse in this race, but I'll chime in and say TNF has probably scarred me for life from a fantasy standpoint. What an absolute debacle it was for me this year.

my thinking to that was if they got a big lead would they play hillman more to see how he does?

I think it's a toss up. I remember Martin and Peterson running all over their respective opponents. I remember Mathews and Charles ####ting the bed versus each other.There was a thread titled "Black Friday" that had splits over the course of a couple years I believe. The sample size was pretty small though. Let me see if I can find it..ETA: I can't find the exact post I'm looking for but if memory serves me correct Greg Russell posted Monday, Sunday and Thursday night splits in one of those threads.

Not counting Thanksgiving, 5-100 yard rushers on TNF, 135 Gore/Martin is the highest. Everyone else was 111 or lower.
5/26 teams produced a 100-yard back.

I'm starting him in the Flex. Over Beanie, Fitzgerald and probably D. Alexander. Raiders Defense is horribad. They have a combined score of 6 points on the SEASON in my fantasy league. Moreno has gotten exactly 24 touches in each of the last 2 games. I'll take those numbers vs Da Raiders. Plus, Moreno was stopped just short at the 1 yard line early in the game vs Tampa, missing the rushing TD. It would go to an o-lineman on the very next play. Thanks, Peyton.

The Raiders have got to be TNF kryptonite though.
If Moreno gets 18 carries, and he should, then the rest takes care of itself.

This, the only thursday player i'm starting with confidence is Broncos Defense.I refuse to watch one minute of thursday night football due to the overall terrible play that we get every single week

Mine probably doesn't count cuz I'm starting Moreno @ FLEX (my RBs are Rice & Martin) over 2 WRs (Steve Smith & Josh Gordon). This is a .5 PPR league
PPR league...I was about to bench Forte for him (have Richardson starting). I just think Moreno is the safer play due to his opponent, Forte's injury risk, and the presence of Michael Bush.
But then I decided to bench Eric Decker (my flex) instead and roll with all 3 RB's.
So basically...I'd consider Moreno over Forte, and definitely over Decker since Decker has been horse crap for 4 weeks.

Come on now...might want to re-think that one.

Considering over Ridley, but I'm struggling with it.

When people say the safe play how many points do we consider safe PPR? 10-12?

D Alexander (bad matchup), Crabtree, Matthews, Dwyer, and Maclin (great matchup). Flex spot, no PPR for RB.
Going back and forth with DX though. If it wasn't a Thursday night game I would definately start Moreno tonight but like others I have been burned multiple times by TNF.

Although I love having football to watch on Thursday nights, I hate the idea of TNF. The shortened weeks definitely have an effect on on everything from game plan to the players energy level on short rest and is simply there for revenue for the NFL. As far as fantasy production is concerned, let's keep in mind that although it's a shortened week, big picture is that Moreno will be the most fresh player on the field having not been active until 2 weeks ago.
That being said, I wish I was as fortunate as some of you with my options at RB. For me, he is a must start strictly because I'm lacking much depth but even if I did have some of the bigger name options, I'd feel confident starting Moreno this week in confidence either way.

26 teams? There have been 22 TNF games, if you discount the Thanksgiving games.'Gottabesweet said:
That being said, I don't understand why you'd discount the Thanksgiving games. If the argument is that Thursday games disrupt the normal week, don't allow teams to adequately game-plan for an opponent, don't allow players to recuperate, etc; then those same factors apply to Thanksgiving games. If the argument is just "players fare poorly on TNF, except for Thanksgiving," then it's just coincidence, and has no more validity than the Madden Curse.Furthermore, it would be more useful, IMO, to look at fantasy points scored by RBs in those games, rather than just rushing yards, since we are considering their FF value in this thread.Including the Thanksgiving games, there have been 28 teams play on Thursday (some teams may have played more than once, I didn't check that). Of those 28 teams, 13 have had their main rusher (for that game) score less than 10 FP (assuming standard scoring, non-PPR). At least twice, that was due, at least in part, to injury: week 2-Forte got hurt & week 6-both Mendenhall AND Redman got hurt. Forte finished with 8 FP in week 2 (Bush got 5.4), and the 3rd string RB in Pitt scored 8.5 FP in week 6, so I think it's safe to assume that barring those injuries, we could have had 17/28(61%) RBs in Thursday games score 10+ FP. If you consider 10 FP "adequate," than you are likely to get that from a RB on TNF, based on this season's history.You also need to consider opponent, but that would take more time. Obviously, a RB facing Oakland on TNF is going to have an easier time than one facing TB. But, it doesn't seem like TNF is an automatic downgrade for RBs.That being said, I'm deciding between Moreno, Greene, Cobb, and G Jennings (I have to start 3, with at least 1 WR), and I'm not sure who I'm going to sit.

Debating starting Knowshon over SJax although he has a tasty matchup as well (Buf). Very tough decision...
Currently over Mathews, SJax, and Leshoure. Really figuring I'll stick with him through the playoffs, as I feel like I can trust him more than the others (Leshoure being a possible exception). On that team, it's the one spot where I just want a player who won't screw it up.

Gotta pick a RB from Moreno @ OAK, Dwyer vs. SD, and Ballard vs. TEN. Before Ballard's circumstances changed, this was easy for me, but now...
Still have 2 flex spots to decide as well, so could plug another RB in on or both of those, but I have good WR options as well.
Think I'm leaning:
Moreno
Ballard
Dwyer
in that order... but I'm not sure.

With your options I'd have no problem benching Moreno tonight and simply keeping him off someone elses roster as you'd rather him do well on your bench that vs You.I'm trying to decide between Moreno, Dwyer, G Jennings and DX in non ppr on a critical game for me.Good Luck
