i think both will have pretty decent games. grant has been a god send to this team. reggie bush just hasn't been all that and my WR's are a bit weak.

so here's my team

Brady

L Fitzgerald
B Engram
L Coles
B Westbrook
R Grant
J Shockey
J Fargas

K Brown (K)
Tampa Bay (D)


J Fargas is in the flex, the only thing i'm not sure about is, Grant, Fargas or Bush, which two play?

grant is the obvious choice. bush is averaging only 3.5 yards per carry and struggling as the saint's feature back. grant has given nearly 100 yards every start (except the kc game) and is going against a bad rush defense.

You of course gotta keep Westbrook in there. Between Grant and Fargas, it would be a tough choice if GB and Oakland weren't playing each other. But since they are, go with Grant.

Oakland has a terrible run defense, plus it'll probably be bad weather at Lambeau. Comebine those two things and Ryan Grant is going to have a lot of carries and should easily go over 100 yards with a TD or two.

Reggie Bush is making the Texans look like geniuses.

Ryan Grant is also making it painfully obvious that running back is the easiest position to just plug someone in and have them do ok in the NFL. There are very few RBs who truly outshine what someone else could do at their job (Barry Sanders comes to mind)

looks like i should have gone with Bush instead of fargas, i doubt bush will do less than 57 yrds rushing, no receptions and no td's.

I don't know about that. Grant has skills. I saw it in the preseason when he was playing for the Giants. He can play, he's got the moves and the speed. There are too many guys who were good college RB's and busted in the NFL to make me think that's it's an easy position to fill. No position in the NFL is easy, and nobody will look good unless they have the talent.

agreed, everyone even benchwarmers in the NFL are talented. but i think the difference between the top 5 WR's in the game vs the WR's #50 to #55 is much bigger than the difference between the top 5 RB's in the game vs the RB's #24 to #29.

He's playing much better than the other Packers running backs were before he got put in.
