I may start him at RB2. If I recall he's had some success against the Steelers in the past. Anyone buying into Taylor this week?

 

[Isotopes]

In PPR Leagues he is an OK RB2 - very good flex.

 

[SigEp316]

I'm hesitant to start him as my RB 3....my league only offers points for over 100 yds rushing/receiving and for TD....neither of which I think he'll get

He is a weak start.

 

[MrPhoenix]

With Ronnie Brown vs Buffalo and Reggie Bush vs Green Bay, no freaking way.

I am not starting him in my RB3 flex spot 10 team league. I am playing Beggie Bush instead.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

It's him against PIT or Jordan against BAL.

Either way I'm

 

[Ripper]

Leaving Fred on the bench this week and starting Ahman Green at flex instead.

I see a shimmer of hope, with Polamalu possibly hurt. Fred didn't look all that bad to me last week, and Dallas doesnt have the worst run D in the league. But Pitt is much tougher, i still see a possible 22 rush, 80-90 yds, and 1 TD in the works. Throw in he is getting some looks in the passing game also i am starting him as my flex. On the other hand my only other option is Lundy, and until he shows me something in the regular season he stays on the pine.

I have heard a rumor that Polamalu's shoulder is worse than being reported and it is unlikely he'll play.

Now take this with a grain of salt because that source is Pittsburgh sportstalk radio guy Mark Madden, who loves to spew negative info about the Steelers in an effort to stimulate phone calls for his program.

My gut feeling is that Polamalu WILL play because he played the entire Miami game and supposedly injured the shoulder a few plays before his interception.

UPDATE: I just heard on another local radio station that Polamalu did practice today so my assumption about Madden being full of crap may be correct.

 

[Buckeyedawgs]

starting him in my 2-flex league. Not in my non flex league. (he is my rb 4) he did have best stats of my 4 last week but they were all bunched within a pt or 2. (Jackson,Taylor,Lewis and Fred.)

 

[Refbuz]

my stones aren't big enough to play him against Pittsburgh, I'll just have to go with LJ and FWP instead...

 

[Tinkles]

Deciding to choose between Bryant, DJax and Fred at Flex.

 

[nortobc]

It's either Fred Taylor, Chris Simms or Kevon Barlow for me. I'll go with Fred Taylor.

I'm gonna sit him and roll the dice with tatum vs KC..

 

[Markus P Dub]

Dido chedha. I'm doing the same. I like TBell's match up and I think he could have a big game. That being said I would like to see Fred T have a decent game for confidence building sake I guess.

 

[Wadsworth]

Greg Jones ran very well against Pitt last season when Fred was hurt. I guess Pitt couldn't stop the run because Big Ben was out But Fred looked pretty good last week against a good Dallas D and especially if Troy P is out, I'd not be surpsided if he had a decent game.

Im rolling the dice

 

[Camel Toad]

If you want 70 yds rushing and no TDs, go ahead and start him.

 

[Cookiemonster]

I will. See sig. 1/2 ppr, 1-10 yds, 6 for TDs and +6 for 125 yds or more.

 

[Rovers]

He's my #3 rb, as a flex in a 16 team league... yeah, I'm gonna start him again this week for sure.
