START 2 RB's...........WDIS (1 Viewer)

[TZMarkie]

Usually I can think through my start/sits, but this one has me irritated. Been debating it all week. 

 I'm 1-3 in this league, and likely needing a win. (to come back from 1-4 to make the playoffs in this set up isn't impossible, but its pretty damn tough)

Standard scoring, start 2 RBs and no flex. NON PPR.

 AARON JONES -   Not the greatest match up..... @Dallas.  But no Jamaal Williams, AND a strong possibility of Davante Adams sitting, to me this seems like a no brainer play. Should get plenty of work.

 DERRICK HENRY -  VS The Bills.  Not a great matchup, though they are better at stopping big pass plays generally.

 CHRIS CARSON -  Thursday night.......... vs. the Rams in an expected shootout.  This may turn into a big passing game , but the massive workload last week for Carson is hard to ignore.

  I'm leaning towards Jones and Henry.  Not wanting to Bench Carson, but Penny is back, and I could see them giving Carson a lighter workload.

I also note that the Titans game is expected to have a lot of rain, so I figure Henry will get a large amount of carries there.

It also should be noted that all 3 backs have projections within a point of each other, AND my head to head matchup looks to be close.... even though I might be 5 points behind in expectation. My opponent is starting McCaffrey and Cook, so there is a chance I need a BIG game too.... another reason I'm leaning Henry.

 Even though I play in 4-5 leagues a year or more, I usually can determine the lineup I'm happy about rolling out.  This one I have been unsure all week......

 Thoughts?

Carson>Henry>Jones for me. 

I don't expect Penny to see a much work his first game back from a hammy injury, on a short week. 6-8 touches is probably about it, which is basically what Prosise saw last week. Carson should see 20 touches, against a Rams defense that hasn't really played well this year.

Henry is likely a lock for 20 carries, in what should be a boring, grind it out game.

Jones scares me a bit, yes J.Williams is likely out, but I don't think that means Jones all of a sudden sees 25 touches. Dexter Williams likely sees 1/3rd of the work, and Jones has been extremely TD dependent other than 1 game. Green Bay is likely going to be very pass heavy even without Adams.
