I would start Jones in a second, if only to avoid what could be a split.

Yesterday, I said I would start LT over Sproles but as of tonight, I'd go with Sproles.
On Monday NFL Countdown, they mentioned that Sproles will not be receiving kicks tonight and he will be focusing more on offense. They mentioned that Coach Turner feels sorry for LT because he wants to produce like he's used to but he just can't right now and that LT will be limited.
They went on to say LT himself said it's hard to go from his right to his left and that he'll be taking some kind of injection to help the pain in his toe.
If you have Sproles and LT, Sproles is the guy to play.

Anybody else got a decision between LT and Hester? Man, this sucks.

This is pretty much the way I read it.Both are active, but given LT2's inability (real or perceived) to play through injury I'd keep it safe and go Sproles.If you are WAY behind and need a huge game, I'd go with LT2 only because I don't see Sproles posting 200 yards / 2 TDs, but stranger things have happened.Sproles is the safe play and is 75% or better to outperform LT2 tonight.I had not heard about the injection. I was all set to start Sproles, but if LT2 takes the needle, I am more likely to play him now. What do you think?

That's a tough one, his stock has plummeted a bit since late preseason. With LT playing in the game, I'd go with LT over Hester. I mean, Hester could potentially get a goaline carry or two (or maybe not) but I think I'd go with LT over him.

Agreed, but what of the hamstring talk of late for Sproles? Any concern?

....and Jason Taylor hasn't missed a game since 1999.Things change.

I'd gladly take what Sproles did last week though!

Not a word about it today. Now, it IS a concern, but I would have expected to hear more if it was a big deal. So I wouldn't worry much.

I'm rolling with Jones, as well.
