thoughts about Ken Darby starting tomorrow? (1 Viewer)

Just show that Ken Darby is starting tomorrow for Steven Jackson, anyone have any inside about this guy or thoughts on his possible numbers tomorrow?

 
My notes from the 07 draft - small, north-south between the tackles runner that struggles getting outside, and lacks a second gear. Basically a less powerful BenJarvus Green Ellis that doesn't see the field well.

Against a solid Jets run defense I would be praying for a goal line TD because that's likely the only way you'll get much out of him, unless you're in a ppr league and he is involved in the passing game. I have no idea if he'll be utilized in such a manner, but there's always hope.

 
ESPN has him projected for 50 yds rushing, 5 recs for 42 yds and a TD for 20 points. Thanks to a Portis bye, a Johnson suspention, and a Jackson injury - it's Darby or J Charles for me... :goodposting:

 
Just picked him up and I just might start him over Forte as Ten Def is impossible to run on.

Portis on Bye, and Rice might not start.....I'm already starting Charles

Plus I'm hoping for a wild card as I'm down 35 already thx to the Thursday slap fest!

KVB looks to be out and Bulluck isn't 100%, if Rhodes can have a decent day against the Titans I would think Forte would too.

Darby over Forte is a crazy move, IMO, no matter the opposing D.
 
:unsure: If Brett Favre gives tosses a few ints....that equals more drives and more time on the field for Darby. ;) hold me
I think you're confused on who's playing who this weekend.
isn't he running against the jets defense? :cry: like i said favre turnovers equals more field time for the rams....which includes the rams running backs....which includes darby. and that could possibly translate into more points or scoring opportunities for darby against a tough jets defense.comprende?

FBG Fri Update:

RB Antonio Pittman (STL) partially participated in Friday's practice and is officially questionable to play in Week 10. However, Pittman is expected to start this weekend. "He's ready to go," said HC Jim Haslett. "He's fine. It surprised me how fast he came back. He told me he was going to ready to go all week, and I said, 'You have to go out and practice on Friday,' and he did it."

Have not yet seen FBG Sat updats but this could be a mess, however I think Darby will be in on passing downs over Gado who may get 4-7 carries. If Pittman is active I still see Darby in but that would make him more like 10-12 rushes and 4-7 rec downs IMO. I have him in NFFC Primetime as well as J. Jones, Mo Morris, and Rudi ;) ....need a RB2 w/ Portis bye and maybe a flex if we don't play Josh Morgan or Mike Walker.

I saw the update and this is the ONLY place i can find Pittman starting. CBS has Darby starting. Not sure what to do. My season is over so it doesnt matter but i need to play someone in that slot with portis and bensen on bye....and no that isnt why my season is over, just some unlucky starting lineups and schedule. I had gore to go with portis
 
Filling a Barber BYE.

Should I start Chris Johnson and L.White

C.Johnson and Derrick Ward, or

C. Johnson and Darby

Something scares me about L.White these days (like hte possibility of him only touching the ball 6 times)

The FBG projections have been significantly out of order lately. Its almost like the quit thinking about it once you get beyond the top 20 WR's.

I'd start the Tennessee duo, it's worked for me all year in one of my dyno leagues.
