Fantasy Starter Question

[albionmoonlight]

I need to start three.

William Green v. Cincinatti

S. Davis v. Atlanta

L. Tomlinson v. Oakland

C. Dillon v. Cleveland

E. George v. Pitt

T.J. Duckett v. Carolina


I am sure that I am starting Davis. I am also sure that I am not starting Duckett. That leaves two spots for the remaining four guys.

I would start Dillon, but I am not sure about the groin. George got 100 last week, but I saw that game, and (as much as it pains me to admit), that had more to do with the Saints sucking than with him playing well.

It's a huge understatement to say that LT has not lived up to the 4th overall pick that I bestowed upon him, but I feel weird sitting him, too.

Right now, I am thinking Davis, Green, and Tomlinson. What do others think? Should Dillon be in that mix somewhere? George?

How did you manage to get this collection of backs??

It's a 6 team league where we need to start 2QB, 3RB, 1WR/RB, 1TE, 1D, 1K.

We were going to have a ten team league, but 4 guys punked out right before the draft. We decided to play with 6 but increase the # of starters in order to give us more depth. In addition, I draft RB heavy, so my depth is the best in the league. Of course, my QB situation is Matt Hassleback and scrubs (which would not be so bad if we did not have to start two), but there are always tradeoffs.

Tomlinson, Davis and Green.

Dillon is still hurting, George is facing a tough defense for him and Duckett is unreliable (points-wise).

Davis, Dillon, Tomlinson

Davis is a lock. Run-heavy team against a Falcons D which is currently doing a poor job against the run.

Dillon against terrible Cleveland run defense.

Tomlinson is tougher call. I guess I could see going to William Green over him, particularly with David Boston not playing this weekend. The Raiders will stack the box and force the Chargers to throw. On second though, start Green over Tomlinson.
