Help with Fantasy Football Lineup

I need to start two RB's.

I always start Shaun Alexander (against Dallas).

Who should I start:
1. Domanick Davis against NYJets
2. Brian Westbrook against GB Packers
3. Michael Pittman against ATL Falcons

Packers RUN defense is great. Its their passing D that's having troubles, so I would rethink that.

But then again, Westbrook is essential with McNabb's passing offense.

Westbrook, Davis, and Pittman can give me combo yardage.

I happen to start Pittman last weekend and he did good with yardage from reception and reception TD's.

I'd tend to agree with this assessment. Between Pittman and Davis, both have been hot, but both the Atlanta and the Jets D's have been fairly solid. I think you can go with either. Davis has more opportunities in the passing game, so maybe that will make the difference?

I was looking around and saw Davis has the better "rush yds" average the past few weeks compared to westbrook and pittman.

Total fantasy points, all 3 are about the same because all 3 are used in the passing game.

Good point. I was actually recalling Davis' early stats, where he was leading his team in receiving. I also forget that Pittman was suspended for a few games, so his numbers are a bit lower than Davis'. It's a tough call all around as I think that the GB D is not as bad as everyone thinks (the run D has been greatly improved since they got Grady Jackson back) and both the Atlanta and Jets' Ds have been solid this season.
 
Pittman. He has been one of the best RB's the past 5 weeks. ESPN had a similar question in one of their daily chats (either today's or yesterday's), and they also said Pittman.


EDIT: On Pittman
Well, I agree and disagree. I didn't think he was very good six weeks ago either. He had a long track record of not scoring. In fact, in the fantasy newsletter I wrote that fantasy owners compared him to Beavis & Butthead. With one touchdown in his first 34 games with Tampa, he never scored. Well, unlike fictional characters, Pittman is a scoring machine now, with seven touchdowns in the past four weeks, and nine scores in seven 2004 games. Is he a GOOD back? Well, you're right, he only runs well against bad run defenses. But here's where I disagree. He's fantasy's TOP back for the last four weeks. He's the best. He's scoring on the ground and the air. He's finding a way, and there are no other Tampa backs. And his schedule is actually very favorable. So I guess I'm saying it's not important whether the guy is overrated or not, he's putting up terrific fantasy stats.
