this is a tough week for me at RB, who should I start

my two starters are

Mewelde Moore
Clinton Portis


but I have Dunn @KC on the Bench along with Felix Jones. I was thinking of starting Dunn over Portis (but portis has been doing so well)

it is tough, Portis is going against the number 1 defense but Moore is going against the Skins D and Moore has looked pretty good.

Then you have Dunn (who should be starting wk 9) against the KC D

Graham has more carries true, yardage they are fairly similar.

steelers defense = overrated

INFO

Coach Wade Phillips stated that he doubts Felix Jones will be ready to return in Week 9 against the Giants. He is recovering from a hamstring injury.

It has been disclosed that Clinton Portis suffered a sprained ankle when he left Sunday's game against the Lions. The team will be able to manage the injury, and expects Portis to play in Week 9 against the Steelers.

Running back Mewelde Moore was up to the task of replacing Willie Parker again on Sunday, rushing 19 times for 84 yards and a touchdown. That's three solid games in a row in Parker's stead. Moore is likely earning some touches when Parker returns, and he remains a solid option until then.

Warrick Dunn was hindered by his pinched nerve in his upper back as he only rushed once (for no yards) and caught two passes for eight yards in Sunday's close loss to Dallas. The injury could linger, but it is still a good sign that he was able to play a bit in the game.

I would pick Portis and Moore.

lol boy those gives me no confidence in any of my rb's

but really, thanks 11eleven11. That does help. I just picked up Lendale white but I think I will stick with Moore and CP. As long as Parker isn't back fo week 9, I should do alright

Go with White and Portis. If Portis is on the field, no way you bench him and Fat Lendale White is a TD machine. 10 so far this year I think.

bradytomoss, it looks like you were right. Moore isn't starting this week.
