Anyone ever start two RB's from same team? (1 Viewer)

[xenon]

AT what point, will the distribution of carries/touches even out?

I keep reading that the Jets will want to keep LT fresh. Further, if/when they are up in a game, there is no doubt that Greene will be toting the rock.

Given that they are a run first team, is starting them both worthy of consideration?

Anyone ever start two RB's from same team?, i.e. would you consider LT and Greene?

Yes.It depends on whether you have another RB who you expect to score more points than Greene.

I've done it before with Priest Holmes and LJ.

my options aren't that great...especially this week. Ivory vs PITT or Brandon Jackson vs NJ

I'd do Charles/TJ and LT/Greene. Both are reasonable especially thru the bye weeks.

I did it 2 years ago with CJ and Doughboy against KC I think (?) both went off, I did it a few more times that season and it worked out most weeks.

I might do Woodhead/Law Firm next week due to SJ39 & MJD on byes. Woodhead for PPR & yards, and hopefully BJGE scores as usual.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Every week I roll out Charles and leave TJ on the bench.

Sub-optimal comes to mind...

Same here. Then Priest had his big injury, and LJ carried me to my first title. He was unreal that year.

Who else do you have? Who is on your waiver wire? 2 RB's on the same team is a desperation move.

One guy in our league has started Bradshaw + Jacobs the past couple weeks.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Haven't done it since I had Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes in Kansas City. So yes, I've done it......you could probaby get away with it again this week with two Kansas City backs IMO.

Started Jones and Charles last week!

I did bench Turner for Jones, and Turner had a nice game, so it was hardly a "great move," but it worked OK for me. Got 200 yards and 2 TDs from those 2 guys and won.

 

[KellysHeroes]

I've done it and I might have to do it this week...

I'm playing both DMC and Bush while keeping MBIII on my bench.

 

[chasyone]

I had an owner in my league one year start Duce and Bettis all year and won the league.

 

[vasco75]

Unless I make a move for Spiller, Run DMC and Bush are in my starting lineup for tomorrow...

 

[SSOG]

I started MJD and Deji Karim a couple weeks back in a league that rewarded return yardage. And Deji actually wound up being the more productive member of the duo. I'd be doing it again this week if Marshawn Lynch hadn't been traded to Seattle and suddenly become a quality desperation play.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

I've started Jacobs/Bradshaw quite a few times.

 

[Sup_Yo]

I used Felix and Barber last week and won, surprisingly.

 

[UncleZen]

I'm starting Jones and Charles this week.

 

[panhead55]

I'm starting the three Miami RBs, Csonka, Kiick, and Morris

 

[Phlash]

I started Ray Rice & Willis McGahee the same week and was rewarded with touchdowns by both of them.

 

[suspected]

Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams as a flex

 

[shortbow]

Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams as a flex

This + DMC/Bush and TJones/Charles.Rice and Mcgahee is too unpredictable (usually they both do well or neither does well.)

I tried Jones/Charles against IND earlier in the year. Unfortunately it didn't work out but seemed like a good play at the time. Mostly Jones has been on my bench, which has been a bad play almost every time. This week I traded him in a package for Peyton since I was lucky enough to have Romo. I really don't like starting two guys from the same team, especially when it's KC. I don't care how solid they look, it's KC lol.
