RB WEEK 6 WSIS

[#1bears fan]

I was planning on Blount vs NO but its not looking good. What I'm wondering is should I drop Ridley to get Graham vs NO or roll with Hightower vs. PHI and Thomas vs. JETS. I also have Greene vs. MIA on the bench.

I have to start 2 standard scoring 0.5 PPR ( which is why Im looking at Graham) Thoughts anyone??? opcorn:

A bit early to call this one as I would like to see what intel practices bring. Blount doesn't sound good for this week as he took a helmet to the knee. Hightower is in a full blown RBBC situation with Torain and no starter has been named. Hightower may still be able to put up decent numbers vs the Eagles generous run D even if he is on the shorter end of the split.

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas has a bit of a hammy issue but with a week to rest he should be OK as a starter this week. How this plays out remains to be seen as it has been hammy issues that have popped Thomas in and out of the lineup. Maybe you should grab Graham early this week before someone else does??? tough call.... green is a solid but not exciting play if you want to hang on to Ridley.... Ridley missed the first game put has put up one nice game, Graham has some steady output each week.

I like Thomas, Greene, and Graham this week. Blount is almost certainly not playing. Thomas has had a week to rest like Norm said and also while greene is not very flashy but he is a ground and pound runner and looked decent last week. As well as BJE has been playing I don't think Ridley will be doing much this year at all. To much of a gamble with Redskins RB's

A little update on Miami RB Thomas here.... Sounds like he will be good to go but keep an eye on him. What is more important is the state of Reggie Bush at this point in the week.

Daniel Thomas (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice. We'd feel more comfortable about Thomas as a solid RB2 if he's upgraded to full practice on Friday. While Reggie Bush is practicing fully, he was sporting a limp and an ice pack on his surgically repaired knee Thursday afternoon. We still expect Thomas to garner the majority of the touches against the Jets.

BJGE may have turf toe and Danny Woodhead could have a high ankle sprain. Ridley may end up a good play but you may not find out until 1 hour before gametime. Hopefully, more intel comes out Fri.
