RB's this week, Who should I start?

[SabreNasty2630]

Alright I have to start 2 of the following RB's

Thomas Jones @ Jacksonville
Onterrio Smith vs. Seattle
Steven Jackson @. Carolina
Michael Pittman @ SD


Im definately thinking I should stay away from Pittman because hes a much better runnner at home than on the road and is play a very good SD run defense.

Thought?

[TRIPLE P]

Thomas Jones @ Jacksonville- JAC has a good D and its at jack, plus they will probably let hutchinson try and beat them and focus on the run.

Onterrio Smith vs. Seattle- I thik Smith would be a good start since seattle is in a free fall and Moss is back so they can't focus on stopping the run

Steven Jackson @. Carolina-depends on Faulk, is he gonna play, cause he'll take away some carries

Michael Pittman @ SD- SD is good against the run but Pittman does alot through the air, I believe he had over 100 recieveing last week with a couple TD'd

I'd probably go with Pittman and O. Smith, that being said Jackson and Jones will probably go for 200 and 2 TD's respectively.

NOT Thomas Jones. Jacksonville's run D is ridiculous.

I wouldn't start Smith either because you never know which Minnesota RB is going to actually get the numbers. Smith could rush for 100 yards, but does that mean he gets the goal line carries over Moe Williams? Who knows. Plus having Moss back IMO hurts the running game more than it helps. There will be more opportunity for Culpepper to use his other wideouts because the Hawks will have to double Moss.

I'd say Pittman and Jackson. Pittman has been hot because of the receiving yardage and I think Jackson is going to start carrying more of the load for the Rams.

jackson hasnt practiced all week and he might not play, id say go w/ onterio smith and pittman

Oh, didn't realize that. Yeah, I guess Smith is the next best option

Definitely Smith, Jones or Pittman is a hard call

Pittman tends to get more receiving yards.

Tampa Bay will probably fall behind early and rely more on the passing game. It depends on how many times you think they'll throw to Pittman.

I expect Tomlinson to have alot of touches, as I can't see the Bucs ever taking a lead or a big enough lead in this game.
