I'm starting Dunn over _________ (1 Viewer)

Probably starting him over Ronnie Brown (vs. NE). I think Dunn will run wild through DET, and Brown will be a marked man at NE.

 
Guy I'm playing is starting Dunn over Gore (TD heavy)

Don't know why, but I think the Lions show up on Sunday at home. Still think Dunn will get 80 and a TD, though

 
I have Portis @ Seattle and Forte @ St. Louis, don't think I can sit either, but I would love get Dunn in there!!!

 
Willie Parker in one league, Chris Johnson in another.

He won't have to do much to out produce Fast Willie.

 
I am starting him over SJax, Hightower, Edge, and Caddy. Glad to have Dunn this week because every other option is terrible.

 
Either MJD or (Bush or McAllister). Dunn is going to be in there for sure. I'm waiting to hear more about the Vikings' D line hearings before I decide whether to play MJD against them. If Williams or Williams is missing, then the Vikings D becomes just average against the run, IMO. And if they're both out, they're probably below average. I'm also waiting to hear how Bush does in practice today. The problem is that the Saints play on MNF. It's good for Bush as he gets another day and a half to get up to full speed, but it's bad because by the time we know if he's ready to go, the rest of the league will have already played. Contingency planning...

I don't think it is at all likely for the NFL to suspend Vikings' linemen before this game. It's too late in the week. If they get suspended, the news will come out earlier in the week based on precedence and the fact that it would be unfair to the Vikings to have the team prepare for the game knowing they will have certain players and then find out at the last minute they should have been preparing for things without them. So, IMO you should count on MJD facing the normal Vikings D this week and make your decisions based on that.

Yep, the NFL typically doesn't hand out suspensions after Wednesday afternoon, they don't even like to issue them that late.The Williams' will play this week.

Well, that does make sense. I guess I'm holding out hope that with a Friday hearing, the NFL would lay down the suspensions starting this week, but I'll admit (even as a Bears fan) that would be unfair. So now it depends on how Bush practices.Regardless, Dunn is in there. I'm excited for Warrick as he's one of the few remaining RB's in the league who is older than I am! :tinfoilhat:

Seriously thinking about starting Dunn over Turner. I may flip a coin to decide.

Wow. Never bench your studs? Sure Turner has a "bad" matchup on paper vs CAR, but last week Kevin Smith put up 112 yards against them.I am of the opinion DET will play very tough against TB and win a close one. They are pissed at losing all year and have no intention of laying down just yet.ETA: I'm starting Portis & Turner over Dunn or Chris Johnson.

but it's the Lions....the Lions. Gotta get your players in your lineup against the Lions. Good point, though, about Kevin Smith's performance last week vs Carolina. Like I said, it'll be a coinflip for me this week. Sort of looking for that one extra thing to sway my decision...like the weather report in ATL or the status of an offensive lineman...something, anything to help me decide.
 
Definitely favoring Dunn over Deangelo Williams, but not sure about starting him over Slaton, especially after watching Lynch have his best game against the Browns on Monday.

One thing I know about the Lions, it's just when you think something is a sure bet with them that they do a 180. It's called Lions Logic around here in the D. Last year they held Marion Barber to 7 carries in week 14 after getting gutted by ADP & Taylor the week before. But Barber also did have 2 rushing TD's and 61/1 receiving.I guess I'm just saying it's a no-brainer for me to start Turner at home over Dunn @ a pissed off Lions team that got completely eviscerated last week by Williams/Stewart.

:thumbdown: Dope. Hopefully Turner does well enough. :rolleyes:

I need to stop trying to predict what the lions do. Hello 0-16.
