Starting RB in Detroit? (1 Viewer)

[MooseCats]

FBG is saying Cason, but most other sites are saying Arlen Harris is the man. Against GB one of them might not be a bad start if you are in a pinch (I am). Does anyone have any insight to who it will be. If so, got any projections...

Detroit homer here. I'd go with Arlen Harris over Cason if I was totally in a pinch. In saying that however, neither back will do much, even against Green Bay. Detroit will mostly pass. When Jones was out before this season, Detroit couldn't run the ball at all.

That was also against Miami, who's got a very tough run D. Not saying they won't mostly pass (as they usually do anyways) but I don't think the fact that they couldn't run it on Miami on Thanksgiving is all that relevant in the situation. I'd be more worried about the team totally tanking the rest of the season more than they couldn't run earlier in the year.That said, I may not have a choice but to start one of these guys in a playoff game this week. :cocksgun:

Jones got hurt early in the Cardinals game (week 11). He basically missed 2 games (Cardinals and Dolphins). Detroit is last in the league rushing the ball. I would favor Arlen Harris due to his familiarity with Mike Martz' offense since they were together with St. Louis.

What's the deal with the rookie from Wisconson? Does he get any playing time up there in Detroit?
