both started off the year with high ranks, neither has really lived up to it. Jones-Drew had 2 decent weeks the last 2 weeks. Alexander could explode any day.

Jones-Drew vs Colts
Alexander vs Rams


sad thing is, i'm seriously consider starting Jones-Drew

my other RB is Lamont Jordan vs KC (he is like a mini Westbrook good numbers all around).

alexander has really killed my team so far.

Jones-Drew will likely get more carries (teams like to run on the Colts to try to slow the game down), but on the other hand the Rams are terrible so Alexander has the potential to have a big game other than the fact that he's been absolutely terrible this year.

If I had to pick, I'd go with Jones-Drew.

It doesn't matter. Whichever one you start will do worse than the one you bench.

Or at least that is how my fantasy season is going this year.

Honestly though, I'd probably go with Alexander. He's been sucking it up...but come on...he's playing the Rams. He's due for a break out game.

Jordan is coming off of an injury and has Vargas and Rhodes there to share carries. Indy has been playing tough D. I don't like MJD against them.

In RL, Alexander is cosmically overrated (Emitt Smith levels, even...). this week, however, he will probably have a big game b/c the Rams are so abyssmal.

I'm still kicking myself for making Jones-Drew my first overall pick (late first round :(), and even though he's been good the last two games, I think I'd rather have Alexander this week. My opponent this week has Alexander going, so I'll get a head-to-head between the two....

I actually have both of them. And Fred Taylor. Silly auto-draft league.

I'm thinking about giving all three the start. Jacksonville is going to pile the yards on the Colts.

saying emmitt smith is cosmically overrated is just plain stupid. he might be a bit overrated but he is still the all time rushing leader. that in itself is an accomplishment.

SA isnt playing with passion this year, I wouldnt be surprised if they gave it to maurice morris or their new FB weaver more this week. I am very bummed at SA's performance this year as a Seahawks fan. Hopefully on Sunday he can silence the boos in the stadium (I didnt boo last week, he has done alot for this team).

Sigh, SA is still playing like garbage, and no I didnt boo him, even though most of the stadium did.

Like I said...anything I choose turns to crap this year. Hopefully you didn't start SA :p

For the season, I've scored NEGATIVE points at the QB position.

Go me.
