My Fantasy Football RBs:

Kevan Barlow (SF) vs. Seattle
Onterio Smith (Min) vs. Chicago
Aaron Stecker (NO) vs. St Louis
Lee Suggs (Cle) vs. NY Giants
Jerome Bettis (Pit) vs. Miami

Barlow is a definite starter.

Onterio Smith will be playing against Chicago's run defence. And everyone knows how much Culpepper and Moss like to play pitch and catch.

Aaron Stecker won't be playing against that tough of a St. Louis defense, but with McAllister out, I bet Brooks and Horn will also be playing pitch and catch more often than usual. So Stecker might not get a lot of carries, or carries for yards/points.

Lee Suggs is suffering from a neck stinger. If he does play, he will have to split the carries with Green. So he might not get the carries for points :(

Jerome Bettis is either going to be hot or cold. He is Pittsburg goal-line man, but that's only if the Steelers are within the 5 yard line do they bring the Bus in...

I think my best bet is Onterio Smith, because he still has some life in him. Even with Moe Williams being brought back, Smith will probably still get most of the carries.

However, Stecker will be the #1 uncontested RB on New Orleanes against a relatively weak defense.

I'm lost. I need advice :(

Chicago's defense against the run... They rank 16th in the league giving up an average of 115 yards per game. But they have yet to give up a rushing touchdown.

St. Louis' defense against the run... They rank 29th in the league, giving up an average of 173 yards per game. And they have given up 3 touchdowns so far.



Seems like not much of a dillemma to me. :)

Stecker was better than Smith by two points.

They were both a lot better than Barlow though. Should have taken dsfunk's advice. :(
