    Who To Start At RB In Wk 8

    Was really hoping DeMarco Murray would be ready for week 8, but it sounds like he'll most likely be out. Here are my options. None of them have great matchups, but all of them should touch the ball a good amount:

    Mikel Leshoure vs SEA
    Felix Jones vs NYG
    Rashad Jennings @ GB
    Montario Hardesty vs SD

    I'd only consider Hardesty if the Browns shutdown TRich. Reports today are that Cleveland may shutdown TRich for 3 weeks up until their bye week. Not sure if I can gamble on Felix Jones again, the guy is just a bum. Not to mention he is dealing with a strained neck and a bruised knee. I'd expect Tanner to get plenty of snaps. Jennings is intriguing, but that Jags offense is awful.

    Kind of leaning towards LeShoure or Jennings.

    If Trich down then yeah Hardesty, if not go with Jennings..

    Packers are middle of the pack on defense, but overal it's all about the work load.. Jennings will get a TON of work load,, you can count on atleast 20 touches, and probably atleast another 5-8 through the air.. That's a RB1 workload.. You just can hope he performs.. He did alright and I dont' see any reason why he can't get you 15 points..

    I would go with R.Jennings. Actually I will be picking him up with my #1 waiver tonight, and he will fill-in for R.Rice this week as my RB2.

    Fragile Jones is one play away from getting hurt again. Hell, he strained his neck on the 2nd play last Sunday. I think P.Tanner gets 50% of the work load this week.

    M.LeShoure up against a solid overall Seahawks Defense.
    M.Hardesty. Chargers Defense are good against the run.
