FF: Help - need new RB

[Homerboy]

So I need a new RB to start this week. Sadly my man S. Alexander (except last week's horrible performance) has a bye week this week.

Interestingly, Tony "One Eye" Fisher should be the Packers starting RB this week as the rest of their backfield is dead or dying it seems. He's got gain SOME yards, and likely even punch it in once or twice you'd think... wouldn't you? There are "better" performers on the waivers, but its just a numbers game, Fisher has taken like 4 snaps all season and should now be the Packers featured back.

hmm. i hate to say it but i'd have a hard time picking from that list. i'd probably just pick the guy that is expected to get the most carries and hope for the best.

Yeah I know this is a hard one. If I knew Fisher was going to be the starting RB and not delegated to his normal roll of 3rd-down back (which I never understood) I'd go with him in a heartbeat as he can catch quite well too, so I could pick up bonus points there. I guess Packers are teetering with starting some 8th string, practice squad, picked-up-off-the-streets, laying-tile-last-week guy instead of Fisher.

UGH!!! Damn this Packers Team.

I would suggest picking up nobody in this list. Tony Fisher off of Green Bay is their new starting RB and I would take him over anybody. Marion Barber will likely start for Julius Jones at RB this week in Dallas and is a decent play against Arizona. Antowain Smith of New Orleans at RB is a decent back who will be OK against Miami this week.
