Who To Start
I have to pick two of these running back matchups:
Ernest Graham at NO Selvin Young @ OAK Willie Parker vs. HOU Chris Perry at BAL Ray Rice vs. CIN My gut is to go with Willie Parker, but I'm torn with Young and Graham. Any help here?

Re: Who To Start
We only count yardage and TDs. 1 point for every 10 yards rushing and 6 points for TDs.
Receiving yards are scored the same.

Re: Who To Start
I would say Parker, Graham then Perry as these three getting the bulk of the carries/touches for their respective team.

Re: Who To Start
Thanks, Hot Corner. I think I agree with you here. I don't trust Shannahan enough to start Selvin Young.

Re: Who To Start
I've got Graham and I'm going to start him in my league this week (only because I'm not going to put the rookie Forte in immediately).
The watch with Graham (as you probably know living in Tampa) is that he'll lose carries quickly to Dunn and Bennett if he starts off slowly.

Re: Who To Start
I just....absoloutely hate my RB situation.
Price I pay for taking Brees, Randy Moss, and TJ beofre taking a running back.

Forte has nothing protecting him from defenses playing 8 or 9 people in the box. I have him as a RB2 in one of my leagues, but that league is PPR and I can start 4 WRs and they are Edwards, Colston, Boldin, and Calvin Johnson

Re: Who To Start
Thanks everyone.
I think the plan is to ride Parker through September until one of th eother backs emerges. I'm really tempted to play Rice vs. the Bengals, but I don't have the guts.

Re: Who To Start
Play Selvin! Denver will not be able to throw the ball against OAK and the raiders have a porous run defense. The saints will score quickly and force TB to throw a lot.
I'm voting Parker and Young IMO good luck

Re: Who To Start
Yeah, I know. If you look at the rannkings this week, everyone says Young, but 15 carries just isn't very attractive.
Mike Shannahan is the devil, though he is proving to be a soothsayer as lots of teams are copying the strategy. I'm voting for a RB3 position in our league next year, or at least a flex.
