Week 2 RB Question

[WVcoltsfan]

Hey Guys,

Trying to decide on Michael Turner against the Eagles or Tim Hightower against the Cardinals.

Both players are at home.

opinions?

Thanks!

hard to go against one of your first couple of picks, but hightower looked good the first week. I'm not sure what I would do. The cardinals checked the panthers running game last week but got passed all over. Not sure what that means exactly. Hightower could have a good matchup in the cardinals.I think I'm leaning towards hightower 60/40.

I am a guy who likes to play on a feeling instead of the draft order... Turner concerns me because Philadelphia put half the Rams' offense out of commission last week (Amendola, Jackson, Bradford).

Hone in on Washington. Rex Grossman isn't going to do it by himself. You have a guy playing his former team. The same team that allowed 400+ to Newton. Just because they didn't utilize the RB's well shouldn't be a standard for Washington to live by because I think it was a Carolina showcase of their new QB.

Honestly, I would go with Hightower (does it help that I am a Falcons fan? haha)

I feel like Hightower may have the better day, but the Cards only gave up 30 yds rushing to Deangelo Williams last week. Is that a result of a shootout through the air, and Rivera seeing what Cam can do? Probably. I mean for crying out loud they had Newton dive it in from the 1 rather than hand it off to DWill. I think Hightower can do better against his old team than the Panthers, but don't forget those D players know his as well as he knows them.

Add to the equation the fact that Turner only got 10 carries last week...10! That will definitely change in Atlanta so you would expect Turner to have plenty of opportunity. The Eagles D is definitely bruising, but knocking Sjack out of the game had to be expecting. That's like building your house out of metal and blaming the rain for the rust. It was only a matter of time until Jackson got hurt, and in fact the D didn't even hit him when it happened. So the opportunity is there with Turner. Shouldn't be a shock if he gets between 20-25 carries. And the fact is if you keep Turner and the O on the field, you keep Vick off it. So, I think Atlanta will try to slow it down.

If either of these teams is ahead by a big margin either of these guys will eat it up. I also expect the Skins to throw for most of there touchdowns with Kyle Shannahan moving Grossman out of the pocket and hitting the TE's and Moss in the slot. Unless they happen to end up on the goal line often I think Hightower scores on screens and short passes. If it's a PPR league I go with Hightower other wise, I go with Turner.
