    RB Dilema, Need Your Help
    I need to start 3 of these guys, who should I go with. All of a sudden, I got pretty damn good depth at the RB position:

    DeMarco Murray vs CHI
    Darren McFadden @ DEN
    Alfred Morris @ TB
    Cedric Benson vs NO
    Fred Jackson vs NE (70-75% chance he plays, however, I'm not sure how many carries they'll give him)
    Mikel LeShoure vs MIN

    Most likely going to go with my two studs (Murray and DMC), and I'm leaning towards Benson. Benson has a great matchup with NO, but he is the least explosive of the group. LeShoure is enticing, but Minnesota has been pretty good against the run so far. If Gailey comes out and says FJax will get thrown back into the mix, I'll probably go with him, but I doubt he'll see heavy work in his first game back.

      Well I guess I should wait and see on Freddy Jackson. But if Gailey comes out and says FJax will get a heavy workload on Sunday, I'll probably have to go with him. People have gotten so caught up with the Spiller hype, people have forgotten just how good FJax is. Top 10 RB when healthy.

          Benson a no brainer

            McFadden & Murray are easy. I'd go with LeShoure over Benson in a tough call.

              Jeesh, I really need to unload some of these RB's. As much as depth is nice to have, I hate making these decisions. I love just having a set lineup each week, maybe one guy on my bench that I interchange into my starting lineup over time. But trying to decide between all these guys is a headache.

                    In my league, it's a blessing to have so much depth at RB. Huge trade value on top of that.

                    Assuming you are doing standard here.
                    DMC and Benson absolutely. I'd see what they do with Jackson, but probably lean with Morris as #3

                          Yes I agree with mostly everyone here including you, Benson get the nod over LeShoure as RB3. I had it right all along.

                            You can't bench Murray though regardless of the matchup. He was probably a second round pick. You don't bench top 2 running backs unless they give you a reason to (ala Chris Johnson).

                                  Too bad I'm stuck with it because of Leshoure, DMC, and DeMarco all having bye's next week. I want to trade Benson and Alf the most out of all of them, but can't because I need them next week.
