Fantasy Football FFL Predicament - Page 2

I know there's a forum and thread on who to start, but I wanted to get some input. Here's the scenario.

Playoff game.

I planned on starting Barber and Jacobs. However, looks like Barber is a game time decision. However, he doesn't play until the late afternoon game. I picked up Choice, who will likely start if Barber doesn't. BUT.....I've got Ward. He's Jacobs' backup, but he's been getting some points either scoring or getting some receiving yards.

Which would you do? Start Jacobs and Ward, or take my chances that Barber will play and start Choice if he doesn't?

Poll to follow.

FTR: I'm personally leaning towards starting Jacobs and Ward.

Tough call, but with Barber being injured against the best defense in the league even if he does play, I think I'd go with the two G-men. It will limit your upside, but you'll have a more reliable chance of getting a decent, overall RB contribution.

On second thought, maybe you should consider what you're up against in terms of your opponent. If you think you're going to need to really hit a home run to beat your opponent, then go with the high risk, potentially high reward combo of Jacobs/Barber. If you just think you need to avoid a dismal score to have a good chance of winning, go with Jacobs/Ward.
