I'm still debating. have 2 hours to finalize my roster.

Oops. Forgot.

Starting Leonard over : Brandon Jackson, Reggie Bush, Earnest Graham, Brandon Jacobs and Kevin JOnes - PPR

Either starting over AP or Henry for team 2.

He's on the bench behind Caddy and D Foster.

Only reason I picked him up is because the SJAX owner is my opponent this week and I had a better waiver wire position.

 
Toomer in the flex.

I was very happy to receive Leonard off the wiore this week - I had the 6th or 7th position and none of the guys ahead of me made any moves. Left me scratching my head since those are the guys with losing records who need to make moves now to get in the hunt.

Jackson isn't starting today, Bush is on bye, Jacobs is OUT, Graham is a backup... Kevin Jones just back from injury playing the Bears... So, who are you starting Leonard over?I'm starting Leonard today because I don't have many options. I would probably play Kevin Jones if I had the opportunity. However, I think Leonard is a good back and can/will contribute in the passing game. The Rams injury issues are well documented but I think Leonard gets a least 50 yards, 3-4 receptions and a TD. That's good enough for me today.
 
Starting him over the bad LJ (the one in KC). Partly because I face Leonard in a few other leagues and partly because I expect LJ2 (Lamont Jordan should be LJ) to be somewhere around 60-0 at best this week.

 
St. Louis' offensive-line is a mess. Jackson has been mediocre -- what makes anyone think that Leonard will be any better?

 
On the fence aboud Leonard versus Larry Johnson.

Can't bring myself to bench LJ since he's a beast, even though he didn't practice much this week I'm going to leave him in out of respect for what he's given my team the past two years.

 
as of now, leo over caddy. with caddys ribs and other backs available to take carries ill roll the dice with leo as their only option in the backfield.

 
dallas will run it up on st louis.

leonard gets 30 yds and no td's, so I'd start him over anyone on my roster who's on a bye or out due to injury.

 
I am forced to start him. SJax hurt, Portis and Betts on bye, we must start 2 RB, and all my other RBs aside from Barber are scrubs. So technically my answer to this question is Lorenzo Booker and Jason Snelling.

ETA: There is no waiver wire in this league.

Same here. And Norwood is on my bench too.

I just get a strange feeling about Norwood this week. I think something big is going to happen for him! I'm playing Lenoard over him too but I keep wondering if Norwood is the better play?
 
Anyone that benches Larry Johnson to start Leonard is insane...you don't bench your #2 overall pick in the draft, who's healthy, in week 4 for the Rams backup running back. You just don't do it.

I have to start Norwood this week with Bush on a bye. I'm hoping for a receiving TD...
 
Over a hurt SJAX, Portis/Betts on bye.

Have to start 2 from Leonard, Maroney, Sammy Morris, and Bulkhalter.

NE and Philly not making my choices easy.

Probably going Leonard, Morris absent confirmations on Bulk and Maroney.

 
I currently have him penciled in over Derrick Ward in my PPR league. I just can't seem to get a good read on the Giants RB situation, and the fact it is a night game makes it too dicey to risk a goose egg.

I'm in same situation and decided against Leonard because if St. Louis can't score with S. Jackson, what makes me think Leonard will do any better?

I think St Louis will make an ok showing today - they are going against a high scoring offense and an average defense. The fact is, Leonard is the only option in the St Louis backfield, while Caddy could get pulled if his ribs hurt his running or his holding onto the ball. They have two other options there in Pittman and Graham. I really like Caddy long term this year but for this one week I will likely roll with the singular option in St. Louis.
 
Benson.

Benson looks to have a great matchup, and the Rams O-line is atrocious, but it's a must win game, Bulger's hurting, and I think they will need to lean heavily on Leonard. Rolling the dice that Leonard can take advantage fo the situation, where Benson hasn't been able to in two years now.

I'm thinking the issue with Caddy isn't so much his ribs, as it is his fumbles. Gru-dog has him on short leash, and Caddy knows it. btw, I'm talking about touchdowns only in the context of my league. You have me thinking about Leonard, but I'm sticking with Caddy.

The over /under is like 47. Leonard has to get some of that, doesn't he.....

Not necessarily, because the spread is like 14 in favor of the boys, which means they see the score being 30.5 to 16.5 (obviously half points don't count) call it 31 to 16 in favor of the Cowboys. Now the more obvious way to score 16 points is one TD and 3 FG's right ...? You could go with 2 TD's and a safety, or 2 TD's and two point conversions on either, etc etc. But lets use the first example, which would indicate only 1 STL TD today ... a big over/under and a large spread, just means they expect a lopsided game my friend.

Picked up Ron Dayne off the ww this morning and am starting him over Leonard and S. Morris. Rationale is that if SJax couldn't get anything done behind that line, can Leonard? I'm going to wait a week and see if he's worth more than a spot on my bench.

You mean his one fumble?I'm benching Leonard (and Norwood) in favor of Carnell Williams.
