Start 2 RB's from the Same Team? (1 Viewer)

I realize its highly dependent on the situation, matchup, other options.

In this case, 2 RBs splitting fairly equally so far against a D giving up an average of 190.5 rushing yards.

AND they will be without DT Albert Haynesworth making them even weaker vs the run.

Colts should be scoring early and often and be in position to run all day like the Cowboys last week.

Have you or would you ever start 2 RB's from the same team?

I have started 2 RBs from the same team for good matchups. Last year I used Mike Anderson & Tatum Bell a few times together. I like your thought behind starting Rhodes & Addai, but the Indy running game scares me, even if they are playing Tennessee. Together, Rhodes and Addai are averaging 3.7 YPC. If the league is a PPR league I might go for it, but for TD heavy leagues I think I'd look to the bench for other options.

The only way I would do it is if I was playing a clearly inferior opponent who you think you could only lose to if you starting say Colts Rb-Your Other RB and both laid an egg.

Going the conservative route and starting both Colts back ensures at least 15-20pts I'm sure combined, which is prob. the better play if you outclass your opponent at all other positions.

Next week I'm seriously considering Portis and Betts vs none other than Tennessee My options are pretty slim with Taylor out on bye and Foster facing the very tough Ravens D ... so yes I'll be watching the Colts RB's very closely this week-end!
