Who to start: Week 10
Joseph Addai's ineptitude has put me in a difficult spot. I need to start one of the following 3:

Addai (Pitt)
Torain (Cle)
Kevin Faulk (Buf)

Addai was been absolutely awful and I don't like the Pitt matchup. Faulk's matchup against Buffalo is also unattractive but this is a PPR league and he is usually good for 40-50 yards rushing and 3-4 catches. Torain has a great matchup but is an unknown. He could certainly go for 100 yards and a TD but he could also go for 3 yards. Any thoughts?

I'm trying to choose between Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Julius Jones, or Kevin Faulk...

Torain is the choice from those IMO. It's sad that Addai has fallen so far this year but Pittsburgh is not a team I'd want to have a RB going against. Torain will get the bulk of the carries tonight even with Selvin Young supposedly playing.

Johnson and Forte are tough to sit given the seasons they're having.

Go with Green-Ellis. He's a former Hoosier.

And he'll probably get all the carries close to the goal line.

If you get points per reception, then you might want Faulk.

Johnson is a must start every week from here on out. Jeff Fisher even said today that he will start to get more carries as the season goes on.

I would start Moore this week over Forte. Forte is playing against a stout Tennessee D, while Moore will be the main back (Parker is out) against a sub par Indy run D.

Go with Faulk, especially if its PPR. Although, none of those options are very enticing.
