FFL Running back dilemna

**Dartgod** · 12-11-2008, 04:02 PM

This week is my first playoff game (had a bye last week). My running backs are:

Steve Slaton (home vs. TEN)
Steven Jackson (home vs. SEA)
M. Jones-Drew (home vs. GB)
LenDale White (@ HOU)

Normally, I would play Slaton and Jackson, but now with the news that Fred Taylor is on IR, MJD is going to get more carries against a porous GB run defense.

So if I play MJD, who do I sit? Slaton against a tough TEN defense? He went for 116 and a TD against them in week 3.

Jackson has just come back from injury and is facing a weak SEA run defense. Is he too much of a risk given that he is probably not 100 percent?

Which of 2 of these would you start?

Also, is there any reason to start Eli Manning or Cassel over Thigpen? I've had Thiggy in my line up the last 3 weeks and am really hesitant to make a switch.

Thanks in advance...
