RBs to Exploit/Avoid Week 11 (1 Viewer)

Ministry of Pain

Footballguy
This is a somewhat slimmed down version. I didn't go stat heavy so if you have some stats you want to toss out there please be my guest so we can all learn. I went quite a bit from the MOP gut this week.

On another note I just want to share what a terrific time I had in the Smoky Mtns this weekend. Initially I didn't think I wanted to go but some awesome folks over in the FFA had some great advice and I had a wonderful time. Highlights included a place called Barley's Taproom in Asheville along the way...Smuttynose, that's all I can say. We are planning to go back and stay there to visit the Biltmore and do some other things.

I know some folks don't like it when I veer off topic in here but I have to say that I was proud to be an American driving around the Smoky Mountains and seeing places like Klingler's Dome, it left me with a sense of pride I haven't had in some time. As Thanksgiving approaches I am looking forward to spending time with my family and friends, same as most of you.

If you have questions, post them up. Try to word them in a way so everyone can enjoy.



Oakland (5-4) at Pittsburgh (6-3) (-7) (41)

The Raiders have won 3 in a row and have yardage totals of 508, 545, and 321 the last 3 weeks. The Steelers have dropped 2 of their last 3, granted it was NO and NE which anyone can lose those 2 games. Pittsburgh is not playing great ball right now but they must remember Oakland walking into their stadium and beating them last year. I'm sure revenge will be on their minds.

Darren McFadden – I won't call for a complete whiff by McFadden but I don't see great things for him either. Maybe 60-80 total yards and a couple receptions which would make him a low end flex option, maybe RB2/3 area this week.

Rashard Mendenhall – Should be solid this week. Struggled last week against NE but has been strong most of the year.

Final Score: Pittsburgh 24…Oakland 17

Houston (4-5) at NY Jets (7-2) (-7) (45)

The Texans have lost 3 in a row and their season has gone from looking bright a month ago to now almost being on life support. In fact I think they easily miss the playoffs and Kubiak will be shown the door. That's a real shame as this team offensively has been one of the more exciting teams in recent years and has had huge impact fantasy players even though the passing game this year has been off. The Jets meanwhile are winning the close games that separate those that make the playoffs form those that sit home. New York is 14-4 over their last 18 games dating back to last year. Their pass defense the last 6 games has allowed an avg of only 190 yds.

Arian Foster – I like him almost any week and unless you have superior options I would still probably line him up. Nothing spectacular this week but should manage to stay in the top 20-25.

LaDainian Tomlinson/Shonn Greene – Did I read that these guys are going to get more of a split down the stretch? I can imagine the headache this is going to cause owners. I believe LT is still the guy who will rack up more but I also think they want to keep him fresh for the playoffs and I see him limited to probably 15 carries and under when they can for the rest of the way.

Final Score: New York 24…Houston 20





Baltimore (6-3) at Carolina (1-8) (+10) (37)

There's really not a lot to talk about here. The Ravens will be steaming after their loss over a week ago. Carolina is turning to their rookie QB3…we saw what QB3s do last night in the Miami-Chi game. This is going to be a boring game and one the Ravens should win easily.

Ray Rice – Gonna have a big day



Willis McGahee – Might work as an RB3 on your roster this week. He will see action in this one.



DWill - IR for the season



JStew – Can't stay healthy



Goodson – Baltimore is not lights out against the run this season but they held Turner in check last week and I don't see any reason to start any Panthers this week.

Final Score: Baltimore 32…Carolina 0





Washington (4-5) at Tennessee (5-4) (-7) (44)

The Skins have allowed 96 points the last 2 weeks and made Michael Vick the best QB in the history of the NFL last week. They benched their star QB in the final 2 minutes of a game a couple weeks ago for Rex Grossman, and then gave the same superstar a $75 million extension. Their $100 million DT flops and stays on the ground during games. It's good that Washington is getting things turned around.

Keiland Williams – I actually think he might be a decent flex option but look at the IR this week and see what the status of Portis and Torrain is. My guess is neither of those guys could handle a full load and Williams can be a dual threat with the receptions.

Chris Johnson – Time for him to have one of those pinball games.

Final Score: Tennessee 27…Washington 17





Detroit (2-7) at Dallas (2-7) (-6.5) (46.5)

Should be a fantasy bonanza. I would try to start most of the major players here. Amazing what a little discipline did for the Cowboys last week. Why did it take so long for the organization to see what everyone else was looking at?

Jahvid Best – Has back to back 21 touch performances. Points have not been in abundance but clearly he is a major part of the game plan. I start him with confidence this weekend.

Felix Jones – Ride it while you can. He looked great last week and is also a threat off the screen passes.

Final Score: Detroit 27…Dallas 24





Green Bay (6-3) at Minnesota (3-6) (+3) (44)

The Vikings hate their coach, they are walking the plank at this point, and yet I still wouldn't want to part with my money in this game because with Brett Favre you never know when he will turn in another great performance.

Brandon Jackson – Guy has been coming on the last month. While he might not rack a ton of rushing yards, he brings a dual threat which I always look for. The fast surface might help him a little bit too. Good flex option this week.

Adrian Peterson – Horrible performance against Chicago last week. I imagine he will make up for it this week although running on GB is not always fun.

Final Score: Green Bay 24…Minnesota 20





Buffalo (1-8) at Cincinnati (2-7) (-5.5) (44)

Fred Jackson – Had a fantastic week last week and has been growing in numbers week by week. Schedule is not great ahead of him but he is working his way in as a solid RB2 right now. He was available on many waiver wires as recent as a couple weeks ago. Cinci is not on defense and they have been banged up for weeks, look for Buffalo to open things up and this game might end up beingone of the higher scoring games this weekend.

Cedric Benson/Bernard Scott – Reports have been that Benson is banged up. Cinci is out o it so perhaps they give Benson a week off. I would like to see what Scott could do with 20 carries a game in this offense right now.

Final Score: Cincinnati 31…Buffalo 21





Cleveland (3-6) at Jacksonville (5-4) (-2) (44)

Let me share what I was going to write about Hillis last week. I actually had done about half the games and then just didn't have time to finish before I took off. I thought you all would like it and maybe I can just repeat it for this week. Bobby Layne, FootballNerd, the rest of the Hillis fan club, this is for you.

LAST WEEK:

Peyton Hillis – Simply put, he's the heartbeat of this team. He's the guy you throw down into the pit and will be the last man standing. I watched him run at, over, and thru the New England defense last week like a Mack truck plowing thru a wall of shaving cream. He is on pace for 1,600+ yds and 16 TDs so why fight the numbers? I'm not sure I would pay thru the roof in dynasty to get him but who cares about 2011 and 2012 right now, we're dealing in 2010 and he has done nothing but prove me wrong time and time again. Oh he hasn't been lights out every week but for what most owners paid for this guy is not plucked him off waivers you gotta admire the effort. We'll see what he does against a tough defense but Cleveland is rolling right now with wins against the World Champs and the last dynasty in the NFL the past 2 weeks. Hillis on 4th and goal at the 1 smashing over the Jets for the winning score as time expires and then fighting every one of them that wants a piece of him in the parking lot after the game.

I was close…lol.

This Week – He should get plenty of action on the road. He did very well on his first trip into Florida back in September. Jacksonville is not terrible against the run but Cleveland has a solid OL right now.

MJD – 55 touches the last 2 weeks. Owners are loving it and Jax is in the hunt even though I think they are complete frauds at 5-4. That bodes well for owners as the playoffs loom.

Final Score: Cleveland 20…Jacksonville 19





Arizona (3-6) at Kansas City (5-4) (-8) (44)

The Cards flat out stink and should be considered one of the bottom dwellers in the NFL right now. The Chiefs are on a downslide after starting 3-0, they are 2-4 the last 6 weeks. Tied for 1st place but they are still a work in progress. Still, look for Charles to explode this week.

Tim Hightower – Wells is hurt all the time and has done nothing. Hightower fumbles too much and the offense blows right now.

Jamaal Charles – Pinball game with long runs

Thomas Jones – Plenty of touches helping to run out the clock.

Final Score: Kansas City 25…Arizona 14





Seattle (5-4) at New Orleans (6-3) (-11.5) (44)

The Seahawks could save a lot of money and make some needy children in Seattle happy if they would just stay home. Seriously, this is going to be a debacle for them. Saints have had a week off and are finding themselves just in time for a big playoff run and defense of their title.

Marshawn Lynch – Not a snowballs chance in hell he makes the top10 this week.

New Orleans RBs – I have no idea who is starting and who could play an entire game for them right now. I would take a wait and see approach but I would start any Saints WR you have on your team this weekend. Henderson is due for one of those 3/100/TD type games at home.

Final Score: New Orleans 48…Seattle 16





Atlanta (7-2) at St Louis (4-5) (+3) (43)

This game is going to be closer than some might think.

Michael Turner – Laid an egg last week but look for him to bounce back strong this week in St Louis. I like him for 100 and possibly 2 touchdowns in this game

Jason Snelling – You never know when he will produce but I also would not be surprised if he racks up 8-10 points in PPR formats. Useless for a lot of owners.

Steven Jackson – Found the end zone last week. That doesn't happen much. Game will be won by Atlanta but St Louis should hang in there to keep Jackson relevant. I have an idea though for the coaching staff…you are running out of WRs, why not throw SJax the ball? He does have 90+ receptions on his resume in a season. WTH do I know though?

Final Scoring: Atlanta 27…St Louis 20….Falcons pull away late.





Tampa Bay (6-3) at San Fran (3-6) (-3) (41.5)

Bucs are another team that could do us all a favor and not even board the plane. Cross country, poor defense, look for the Niners to run it down their throat and the Bucs skill position guys to be on the bench a lot. I like the Bucs and what they are doing this year but I don't see a lot of good things happening for them this weekend.

L.Blount/Cadillac – Because I think the Bucs will lose, I don't see much from Blount. Think Atlanta few weeks back. In fact Cadillac will be in the game when they fall behind or are in a passing mode. We can argue about it but I did many of the game recaps for FBG on the Bucs over the 1st 5-6 weeks of the season so I watched them with a great amount of detail. I have not been off very often when it comes to predicting what they will do. For what it's worth Jeff Tefertiller thinks I am dead wrong on this but IMO just like Seattle, the Bucs could save us a lot of heartache and just stay home. I hope I'm wrong as a Bucsfan and former Tampa/St Pete resident.

Frank Gore – Top5 this week.

Final Score: San Fran 29…Tampa Bay 12





Indy (6-3) at New England (7-2) (-3.5) (50)

The Colts have not had a major road victory all season. They lost at Phill, Jax, and this week in NE I think they fall short again. It's not that I love NE and their personnel but history has taught us that Belichick is a tremendous leader and has this team thinking they can do anything at this point. You might think letdown after Pittsburgh but I think they had their letdown the week prior against Cleveland as they looked ahead at the Steelers. I doubt they take the Colts lightly.

Indy RBs - I don't think any of them will carry a big load, and I don't think any of them are top20 candidates this week.



BJGE/Woody – BJGE is up and down but I do expect NE to run the ball some on a suspect defense that rises to the occasion at times but will be beaten up good come the middle of the 3rd quarter this week.

Final Score: New England 28…Indy 21





New York Giants (6-3) at Philly (6-3) (-3) (48)

Sunday Night Football is gonna rock this week. I saw what Vick did against Washington and I want to see what he does this week against New York. It's not a world beater defense but it certainly is an upgrade over Washington. They were embarrassed last week against Dallas so I expect them to have something a little extra for Vick and company.

Ahmad Bradshaw – Start him for sure

McCoy/Harrison – Is McCoy really hurt? This situation is a little murky but if McCoy is clear to play I wouldn't think twice about it. Love his game with Vick scaring the heck out of the defense. No way the Giants are losing sleep at night over McCoy and that will play to his or Harrison's advantage. Nice to see Harrison is still as explosive as some of us thought. Whoever gets the start I like so I green lighted them both.

Final Score: Philly 27…New York 24…This should be one of the best games of the year.





Denver (3-6) at San Diego (4-5) (-10) (50)

Guess Vegas likes Rivers this weekend. Denver is not a good team but San Diego has poor leadership at the coaching position. What is the difference between Wade Phillips and Norv Turner, can you answer me that?

Knowshon Moreno – Seems like I am always reading he is nicked up. Assuming he's healthy I think he is always a threat to knock in 12-15 points most weeks. Depends on how long Denver can make it a game.

San Diego RBs – Let me know when we get any real consistency here. Seriously, let's discuss this but they have 3 backs that all play a role, none of them really dominate.

Final Score: San Diego 30…Denver 20

Good luck this weekend everybody!!!

How can you possibly type Jahvid Best in green? I see no rational for it. :shrug:
Back to back 21 touches, and a Dallas team getting a little too much credit for their perfomance last week. 1 week does not erase the 7 losses. I like Best this week and inside that circus tent he will be just fine. Why don't you like him this week?
 
Because he hasn't produced since week 2. I think the Boys have a little renewed self worth. I'm personally going to start Felix over Best. I've never had turf toe, but it must suck. :confused: Always like your write up. Just questioning that one.

 
tjones or bjax ppr
In PPR you gotta like Jackson. He gets a nice consistent 12-50 on the ground most weeks but he adds in the vacinity of 3/30 receiving so you end up with 10-12 points and a chance for a TD, 3 the past 3 games. I like the upside. Jones has been pretty meh most of the season. Also depends on what the rest of your roster looks like but on the surface I would like Jackson a little better. In the future please give us the reason you would have for starting one over the other, thanks.

That bad eh? He's had bad toes all season. Has he skipped practice all week?

And I'm glad you did. Felix vs Best...I can understand your reasoning and logic on that. "You're style is unorthodox, but effective"

Little surprised by the overwhelming confidence in Bradshaw given the Giants' OL issues. Diehl and O'Hara both out, Andrews missing practice.http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2010/11...ittle_away.html

 
I was afraid of this type of information.

I have Freddy Jax, Turner, and Mendy and can play all three but then I would have to bench Holmes and Austin (have Nicks/Djax as starters now). Or I could start Holmes and play Mendy and Turner or I could ...oh nevermind. I know whatever decision I make, it will be the wrong one.

*** Thursday Update *** RB Jahvid Best (DET) did not practice on Thursday. Dave Birkett reports that coach Jim Schwartz said "It's a situation now where we just dont want to irritate it too much during the week and get him to Sunday."
 
As far as Turner, why so high on him? Rams D is not the Rams D of old, especially the run D which has been relatively stout with respect to yards given up this season on the ground. Plus, Turner, right or wrong, isnt known for being a beast on the road.

With respect to FJax, I would suspect that the Cincy D will load the box and force Fitz to pass more especially after having seen the Lions give up a big game to Fjax.

i have bjax in there now due to ppr aspect, but just realized i could play reggie bush. assuming he's good to go, do you play bush instead? looks like he could have a big game against his college coach. bush = breakout upside?

He missed the latest practice. His toes have gotten worse. He looks like he's running in quicksand.

I think Bush has a big day in his return and he will see the most work of the Backs. I also think they will play a good bit of Ivory because until PT gets healthy that is the main combo. Why do you like Henderson in particular if you dont mind me asking.
 
With respect to FJax, I would suspect that the Cincy D will load the box and force Fitz to pass more especially after having seen the Lions give up a big game to Fjax.
Fortunately he can do damage as a receiver which should help in preventing their D from keying on him. Plus they may have quit already...

2008-TB 1/84/TD, SF 1/81, MN 4/104/TD, OAK 2/68, ATL 3/72...these were all home games

2009- DET 5/103/TD, CAR 3/93, NE 3/116/TD,

Those 8 home games he posted 22/700+/4 TDs

2010-Has had no games at home where he really shined. Did put up 6/59 one week but other than that not much. He's due and Seattle is ripe to be crucified on the road.

 
Steven Jackson – Found the end zone last week. That doesn't happen much. Game will be won by Atlanta but St Louis should hang in there to keep Jackson relevant. I have an idea though for the coaching staff…you are running out of WRs, why not throw SJax the ball? He does have 90+ receptions on his resume in a season. WTH do I know though?
Possibly because of the broken finger? Of course he did catch 8 balls last week after their bye. I remember leading up to week 8 a lot of people were down on SJax because of the effect the finger would have on his receptions.
 
Make sure you hit the Biltmore & pay for the tour that includes the roof! Check out Grandfather Mountain also. Clingmans Dome is amazing, happy that you got to experience that. Big kudos for writing up an RB start/sit this week.

 
Well... I would say that if Dallas loses to Detroit, Jason can kiss his job goodbye. And if you think Best is a "green" and Jones is not, well, I'm more than mildly surprised.

 
MJD or Bradshaw as RB2?

I guessed wrong between MJD and Bradshaw last week. I will always start Peterson at RB1, but between those two I have to make a tough call. I am thinking MJD this week, but I honestly can't figure out what to make of Cleveland's defense. I don't know if I am leaning that way because I think it is the right play or if I am playing off of last week's results. MJD is getting the rock a lot, which is giving him the edge in my brain tug of war. I also worry that if the Eagles play lights out again that the Giants will be too far back to allow Bradshaw to see the necessary carries. Then there is the fact that NYG got embarrassed and will be looking for redemption. I have talked myself in circles on this all week.

Any thoughts?

I have to start 2 of MJD, Bradshaw, and Charles. Right now I have Charles and MJD. MJD for the reasons you outlined here. MJD is getting the ball consistently, and I feel like I gotta ride him, hoping for games like last week's. I'm sitting Bradshaw because of the possibility of playing catchup w/ Philly, and because of the real possibility they pull him at the goal-line (didn't in Seattle and it was great, did in every other game...). Charles is starting because of the possibility of huge runs against the Cards.
 
Looks like Torain has been ruled out and Portis is going to play. I'd be pretty surprised to see Portis do much other than block and get a few touches. Leaning toward using KW over J. Best. I dont love the match up vs Titans but I could see the game script going a little bit like last week (far less extreme tho) and KW again having success in that role. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Tentatively doing the same thing. It's a tough call.

I dont love the match up vs Titans but I could see the game script going a little bit like last week (far less extreme tho) and KW again having success in that role. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Same here in a flex spot, but with alternatives like Blount, Lynch, Michael Bush or Miles Austin, he becomes the best of the bunch. I think he's safe for a decent outing as long as your expectations are in check.
 
FYI BJGE OWNERS....

Fred Taylor maybe back this week. That said, if he is, he will be eased in, and only get ~10 touches. However, I could imagine the Pats using Taylor in a goal-line situation given he plays, which would hurt BJGE value, especially if the game is close.

Keep an eye on his status on Sun.

 
:lmao: not to mention Kevin Smith had thumb surgery and will not be active this week. I also like Best this week. especially in PPR leagues. 4-6rec 30-40yds and 40-50yds on 20car and maybe a squeaky TD if we are lucky. Dallas defense not what they looked like last sunday. i promise.
