For me it's Dixon vs Bradshaw and I think both will get half the carries...but Dixon has a much nicer matchup.
I got him penciled in at the flex spot too, although I may get cold feet as we get closer to kickoff. I don't have another viable RB and injuries have also killed my WR depth (Collie and Steve Smith/Giants). It is Dixon or either Johnny Knox/Jacoby Ford. Not that happy with my choices, but Dixon seems a safer pick.
Ivory >>>>>>>> Dixon
Based on what? As I mentioned I have him penciled in, but I will feel better if you can give a good reason for your "confidence."I am gonna start him with confidence
Not according to this article.Four games-that's how many contests the Seattle Seahawks' run-stuffing combo of Colin Cole and Brandon Mebane have lined up as the team's defensive tackles this season. And the results are pretty telling: In games the two have played together, the Seahawks allowed 80 rushing yards a contest. In eight games where one of the two has been out, the Seahawks have given up 149 rushing yards a game. But for the first time in over two months, the Seahawks are on target to have both in the middle of the defense come Sunday.
I see your FFToday post, and raise you Bob Henry....
Why wouldn't the FFToday post nullify your post if their two run stuffers are back?
Good point. The data points from Colin/Mebane from earlier in the year include Red Bryant at DE. He's done for the year, so who knows if Colin/Mebane will be as effective without Bryant sealing the edge. Further, it will be Cole's first game back. Do we know if he'll be back to playing at the same level he and Mebane were with the benefit of the preseason practicing together and playing together in games (with Bryant on the edge)? Keep in mind, Bryant was a DT by trade that the Seahawks moved to DE. It was in part designed to help them improve against the run. Bryant was performing at a high level throughout the preseason and during the season before he got hurt. I'd argue that more of the success they had was due to having ALL of their line together. Focusing strictly on Cole and Mebane is not looking at the full picture.
Exactly what I was thinking, unfortunately I can't add any more having not seen enough of their games. Going to end up starting 2 recently waiver wired RBs this week so trying to sort this all out.
at my RB's. I'm stacked at every other position, but since it's PPR for WR/TE's only, sacrificing at RB isn't the worst thing. 50 yds and a TD and I'm dancing a jig!!!
That's exactly what I'm doing. And yes, it is "stupid."
If Bradshaw was still the starter in New York, I'd feel a lot more comfortable starting him. But Jacobs looked great last week and I doubt that Bradshaw will get 25 carries again. I'd rather expect 15 carries for Bradshaw and a 50 percent chance of scoring a touchdown. These are numbers that Dixon could match.
Starting him over Choice. No rational reason.
I am gonna start him with confidence
