Clayton "thinks"? I need something more definite than that. I think if Rudi is active, he will get the majority of the load.

I'm just telling you what Clayton said. He's so ambigous in the way he talks that I take it all with a grain of salt. Right now I think Rudi will play but how much is in question.

Is this the same Clayton that said Mason was probably out last week?
ScoobyDoo
Footballguy
Yep. Hard to get a good read.Yes, same Clayton.

What makes your "thinking" any more definite than Clayton's? And if you're right, then doesn't that make Clayton right? Not trying to rip you but it seems like a very srange statement to make.

Clayton thought he would play. Coming from someone with inside intel, I would expect a more firm word on if someone is playing or not.I am saying if he is active (read: healthy enough to play) that Marvin would give him the load. He gives the Bengals the best shot to win and it is a must win for them. I am just guessing also.

Watson starts but Rudi active
By GEOFF HOBSON
October 14, 2007
11:35 a.m. KANSAS CITY _ Rudi Johnson dressed for Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium but Kenny Watson got his second straight start at running back.
Johnson worked for the first time in 19 days Friday after injuring his hamstring in the Sept. 23 loss to Seattle and it looks like he'll be used in at least spot duty as the Bengals try revive the NFL's 26th-ranked rushing game.
The Bengals' battered linebackers were out again: middle linebackers Ahmad Brooks and Caleb Miller were inactive as was strong-side backer Rashaj Jeanty. Dhani Jones got the start for Jeanty and Anthony Schlegel went in the midde with six Bengals games among them.

Tristan H. Cockcroft: (11:45 a.m. ET) The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Kenny Watson will start at RB in Week 6. Rudi Johnson, though, is active, despite a hamstring injury. He'll play, but not start, meaning a straight timeshare could be in order. Be cautious expecting much from either player.
This is truly gay...

Is this the only thing to come out so far?

It's being reported in a few other places as well. Watson starts, Rudi's active, no way of knowing what the division of carries will be. Good luck to all of the Rudi/Watson owners this week. I think we're gonna need it.
Gonna be a crazy week

I was set to take a zero before Rudi practiced the other day....Rudi not starting but suiting up is a step up from that situation
I'll take whatever I can get out of Rudi....1 carry for 1 yard and a TD would be fine with me

This stinks but I suppose as long as he actually plays, it's all good.
Not many options left.

At least it means Rudi's injury must be almost fully healed......hope he makes it thru this week

For those of you who have Rudi and Watson, who are you going to start?

Jay Glazer just confirmed that Rudi is active but will not start

I think Watson gets the most stats today - especially in reception leagues and especially if the Bengals stay in the lead and especially if Watson plays well. I think the TD's will go to WR's - not RB's unless Watson catches one out of the back field.

So the question remains - how will the carries be divided up? It's probably safe to project Rudi to get any goal-line carries but will it be 50-50, 60-40, 70-30, 80-20 or what? Impossible to project anything for Rudi right now. If you're starting him, it's a complete guessing game.

2 carries 2 yards and 2 TDs.....come on I need a Bettis like performance
If Rudi is healthy enough to get a bunch of carries, why wouldn't they start him? I'm thinking Watson is the better play but Rudi could steal some goalline carries or just be active in case Watson gets hurt.
packersfan
Footballguy
That's what I've been asking too. It makes me wonder if he'll only be there for a few carries and maybe some goal-line looks which means you have to hope he gets a TD to justify starting him. He certainly could but it's real risky to have to have that in order to get production from him.
Marvin88
Footballguy
Yep, completely agree!

4 rushes 1 yard 3 TDs. Go Rudi
PsychoMan

that was insane

I just benched Rudi and put in Watson. 3rd choice is Leon. So all you dual owners, make sure to play Rudi becuase when I change my lineup on Sunday morning, historically, I make the wrong choice. And I mean, losing a trip to the championship game two years in a row wrong.

CIN - RB Johnson Active But Questions About How Much Work He'll See
Summary: Bengals RB Rudi Johnson is on the active roster but there is still some question about how much work he'll see. Kenny Watson will be the starter and should see plenty of work if he is productive.

Marvin must think Herm and Gunther are having their guys hang on his every word....so many times coaches get caught up in mind games when it comes to injuries.
That being said, I am with Rudnicki here, but am in a position I HAVE to play Rudi in a deep dynasty league...against the team I root for no less.

Im being even sneakier and playing both and benching JJ who i dont expect much from with dallas playing from behind today.

man i'm in a quagmire. I can start either Rudi, Watson or MJD. I can't decide!!
Ramblin Wreck

MJD with Taylor banged up. That's easy.

If you only have to start one of those three I'd go with Jones-Drew without hesitation. Good luck.

QUICK HELP! Rudi, Watson or Deshaun Foster??

I'm going with Watson - I left it up to my 4year old between Rudi / Kenny..
This_Is_Not_VRR
Footballguy
F it. I'm going with Watson over Rudi too. Too much risk with Rudi today. He could definitely lay a goose egg.
Boulder Toads
Footballguy
I just went with Deshaun ... too much downside w/ Rudi at this point.
Iwannabeacowboybaby!
Footballguy
I'm in the same boat......I had Rudi, Watson or Ronald Curry in a flex, went with Watson.
I just don't like the rapport I've seen with Curry lately so gambled on Watson. If worse comes to worse and Rudi has a big day, it means only good things for the futre.

of Cinci's inactives:
LB Rashad Jeanty
DB Ethan Kilmer
WR Tab Perry
LB Ahmad Brooks
LB Caleb Miller
DL Jonathan Fanene
QB Jeff Rowe
Is there anyone on the list that is not injured that would be meaningful for Cinci?
If not, then why not keep Rudi active and at least give the Chief's something the think about.
FWIW, I think Watson gets a majority of the carries today. Esepecially if Cinci goes up early.
