Ladell Betts, RB NO
News: Saints RB Ladell Betts is starting against the Panthers Week 4 with Pierre Thomas inactive for the game. Chris Ivory might also see carries in the game.
Analysis: Betts is not going to be asked to get a starter's share of carries with Ivory and DeShawn Wynn in tow. Betts is definitely going to get a major boost in Fantasy value with this news but we're not sure it is enough to warrant using him in Fantasy. At best, he is just a No. 3 Fantasy RB if you have Thomas and need a replacement in a pinch. Ivory probably has the higher upside.
 
Ivory is the play at RB for the Saints today if you feel you must start a RB from the Big Easy. It's best not to play any of them but Ivory will get the goaline work. Look for Brees to pass early and often.
 
Fantasy Football Now is saying the opposite. They're saying that Betts will be more active in the passing game and has the edge over Ivory. Although they did say Ivory may get the goal line work, they're projecting more passing TDs than rushing....

My brother and I were just debating this very topic deciding who to play for his RB2.... Snelling or Betts.

Flip a coin... this really could go either way.
