Help With Fantasy - Who to Play - Who to Bench?

[vikingfan101]

Well, after 3 weeks in a row of wins, I find myself in contention for a spot in our leagues playoffs, but I have a tough Decision.

Flat out, my Qbs stink, and my teams strongpoint is definitely Running backs. They are:
Larry Johnson
Steven Jackson
Thomas Jones

Now, obviously Johnson is a must start, but its a tough decision between Steven Jackson and Thomas Jones. Im playing the #1 team in my division, and am in 3rd place (1 1/2 games out of first, I dont think I can win it). Well, who do you think I should start?

Jackson or Jones? Both are good, but Jackson has had an overall better year, but the Bears, well, are the Bears, and there D is solid (Although Vikes tore em up in the running game last week). The D of the Rams, at least runwhise, is kind of weak.

Who do you expect to tear it up more, Jones or Jackson? Please let me know, could use some help.

Anyone? Using a bump here.

here's a little stats to help you out:

Chicago D: 12 games, 1270 yards, Avg yd/att 4.1, total rushing TDs allowed: 5

St. Louis D: 12 games, 1840 yards, Avg yd/att 5.0, total rushing TDs allowed: 14

with that being said i'd go with jones, especially with the way grossman is playing the bears will rely on their run game. my only concern with jones is how many carries benson is going to get.

[vikingfan101]

That was a factor in mine as well, considering I dont have any idea whose Jacksons backup is. Benson is decent, and with me saying Idk who Jacksons backup is, Im wondering who will get more runs.

As a Bears fan (You are, correct?), Im not sure how much the pass goes in, but Ik Jackson is close to leading the NFL in receptions is he not? So that may also be a factor.

Just be careful of Cedric Benson taking carries from Jones which happened last week. Also, the Bears run D the past few weeks have given up a lot of 100 yd rushing games so don't discount Jackson. Also, Jackson catches a ton of balls out of the backfield as Bulger doesn't have much time to throw these days. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks for input so far guys, a tough decision! If only I had this hard of a time picking my WR's and QB (Starting QB - McNair WR's - Jennings and S. Moss) YIKES! Lol.

Right now, Im leaning towards Jackson for his ability to catch, but with how bad STL Run D is, its tough to bench Jones...

DUDE! No brainer it's Jackson! Jones splits to many carries with Benson. Jackson, even against the Bears, will put up a combined 100-150 yds, and 1 TD. I have Jones also, and I wish I had this problem! I am benching Jones this week for Fason, if he plays. If not, I will play old ™™™ Corey Dillon.

Give it to jackson. This guy is ready to explode at any minute.

Hm, at the moment Jones is ahead. Let's see how it finishes :D
