    Opinions on who to start
    this is a yardage heavy league that rewards receiving backs...Who would you start between Reggie Bush or Pierre Thomas at RB? I am definitely starting Lamar Miller now that Moreno is out.

    also, i have forte and alshon jeffrey. think im going to leave jeffrey in at flex, and keep forte on my bench this week for 2 reasons:
    1) have an option to plug in forte at flex if jeffrey doesnt go
    2) jets run defense has been good thus far - granted the raiders offense can make anyone look good but they did hold down eddie lacy

    Thx

      IMO, I would go Bush, and Forte. Go with the studs. Both your other backs will lose carries to other backs.

        I would start Pierre Thomas over Bush.

        I'm also not big on sitting my stars, so I would rather have Forte in my line up too.

          Pierre Thomas is a must start.

          Saints at home, Brees will spread the ball around.

            If Saints blow out the Vik's. Kriby Robinson will get the carries. GB and DET will be high scoring.

              Saints won't blow out Vikings and Bell eats up Bush's carries too.

                thats what im thinking....pierre may have 1 half of production.
                good chance det is playing from behind, which favors bush

                  True about Bell, but Bush is more likely to have a big plays, on screens than Thomas. Both are a good start today. Just my opinion.

                          Saw the thread and forgot to give my opinion on Bush to start. Packers D nothing to write home about.

                                  i left my flex open since i have jeffrey and forte.....going with jeffrey.
                                  i won the match anyway, so im not sweating it. jets weakness is their secondary..

                                  lamar miller and bush both had nice games for me as my 2 backs...
