Fantasy RB situation

Sure-Oz · 11-15-2004, 07:14 PM

My rb's Clinton Portis, Ruben Droughns, Derrick Blaylock, Curtis Martin, and Anthony Thomas.

I have 2 rb slots open and a wr/rb, since blaylock will likely start who should i bench??

My reg starters at RB

rb-curtis martin
rb-ruben droughns
wr/rb-clinton portis

I am leaning on benching portis since washington has no offense.

Your have 2rb's who are backups (thomas, blaylock) but either way play the better matchups regardless...I havent looked ahead to next weeks games yet. If I rem right I would start: Blaylock, Martin, Thomas. (dont rem who portis/droughns are playing) My $.o2

I am not even sure Thomas would start because Thomas Jones may be back, and they play Indy, so they wont be in the game to run. Droughns plays NO, and blaylock just shredded them. Portis has been on/off this year for me.

Id probably stick with your regular guys. Thomas has a terrible matcup against Indy so i wouldnt start him. Blaylock would be my choice if you decide to bench Portis. However the NE matchup isnt good. The Philly matchup for Portis isnt that bad so long as he can get enough carries. Philly's run D is not what i used to be.
