Who to start at RB this week???

[Cubzfan64]

I have 4 possible RB's to start this week - I have no idea what my final choice will be, but I'm looking for some input to help me decide:

 

1) Shaun Alexander @home vs. St Louis

2) Reggie Bush @home vs. Atlanta

3) Ken Watson @home vs. NY Jets

4) Kevin Faulk @Miami

 

Right now I'm leaning towards starting Watson (if I can confirm that Rudi will be out) but I'm really stuck on the other 3. Alexander has done almost nothing the last 3 weeks, Bush gets some yardage but no TD's and if Maroney and Morris are not playing, Faulk has the chance to not only get decent running yards against a crappy defense, but he catches alot of passes as well.

 

I've had a bad season so far (2-4) and really need to get some good output from my RB's this weekend.

 

Give me some thoughts on who to stick out there given the matchups - maybe someone has some insight that I haven't thought of yet.

 

thanks

I'd lean toward Alexander -- I feel he's going to have a big game

Rudi is not playing and it appears Maroney will (although you nver know for sure with the Patriots).

 

I'd go with Bush and Watson. Alexander has lost a step and might not be helped by the good matchup.

Definitely Watson and Bush, although if you're willing to wait until Sunday morning, you could maybe sneak Faulk in, since I'll bet he gets most of the carries and would be a better play and a better matchup than Bush.

 

I'm really down on Alexander, and just traded him. I would suggest you do the same.

Hope you listened.

 

That will be $50.

I have Watson on one of my teams, and he was my biggest scorer (although I still have Addai tomorrow night).
