you think so? i know jennings is the hot item this week, but that makes me nervous. first, it seems like every time there is a hot waiver wire add, they flop badly...(felix jones last week, stephens howling vs. buffalo, vick ballard vs. NYJ...etc) on top of this, i hate the jags offense...i dont think they are going to be keep up in the slightest bit against GB, and they will probably be down so much they will have to abandon the run game...doesnt this not bode well for jennings? the fact that it looks like chad henne will be playing also makes me think that the packers will stack the box completely and make henne try to beat them in the air (packers run D is already pretty good)

jennings and turner. When is Mendenhall even expected to be back? and didn't Batch have a good week on MNF?

steelers played sunday night, and dwyer had a solid game against the bengals...that being said, dwyer has had his chances and has not done very well earlier this year filling in for mendenhall...once mendy can go (tomlin is saying he can) i believe he will be the workhorse RB...the potential is there, as we saw against a tough philly run D, but he needs to stay on the field....that being said, why not alex green against jax? GB will blow them out, he could rack up a lot of meaningless garbage time points, especially against that horrible run D

Ballard and jennings for me. Best of luck though

Definitely go Jennings for the fact he will probably run the ball 15-20 times and probably get at least 3-5 catches out of the backfield.

Michael Turner will probably be in for a tough game, but he is probably your next best option unless you want to roll the dice on Ballard or Green.

Good luck.
