Week 1 Lineup

[tk1434]

Need some advice on who to put as my #2 RB for Week 1:

Jonathan Stewart vs. PHI
Derrick Ward vs. DAL
Larry Johnson @ BAL

I've eliminated Johnson, can't decide between Stewart/Ward.

 

[Sgt John]

Each of these choices sucks.

Larry Johnson will have his children eaten by Ray Lewis.
Jonathan Stewart is injured and facing a tough Philly D.

This leaves you with the only choice. Start Ward against Dallas and hope for the best.

 

[Sgt John]

Just remember Ward is caught up with Graham and Williams.

 

[Remote Controller]

Ouch!! You have to choose between LJ's tough matchup, and hope for a cheap TD, or play Ward, and hope he starts off strong. I would go Ward.

 

[bodey24]

I would go with Ward also.

 

[tmaschm]

Yea I might go Ward as much as that situation sucks. You just don't pay a FA RB all that money and not play him.

 

[Arctic Dawgs]

Ouch, I agree with everyone else here. You can't start an extra WR and go with just 1 RB this week. ??

Week 1 is always filled with with insanity. Expect the unexpected. Everyone is throwing in the towel for Larry Johnson, so he just might be the best start here.

It is possible that Derrick Ward might barely see the field. He might not even be the #2 back by the time game 1 rolls around.

As for Stewart, you have to watch and see if he is even going to be active for week 1. If he does play, it likely won't be much.

The remaining option is Larry Johnson. Going up against a tough defense, but one that has seen changes to personnel and coaching over the offseason. Still a tough defense, but Johnson is a tough runner when healthy and dedicated.

Still a few days till lineups are due, but if I gotta pick right now, I am picking Larry Johnson.

Larry Johnson.... If he does anything is season it will be at the beginning.

 

[The Ram]

I'd start LJ even against the Ravens. Not outstanding but the best bet for most quality touches.

 

[Skedar120]

I'd start Ward here. Especially if Caddy is #1 now, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ward in on goal line situations and just overall swapping out for fresh legs.

 

[GZ2525]

I'd definitely go with Ward. Dallas defense always seem promising and they usually aren't.

You have to go with the Starting RB over a banged up RB.

 

[tk1434]

Yeah its just a RB spot, not a W/R. Cadillac really the #1? I thought Ward was.

 

[tk1434]

Picked up Fred Jackson. Now it's between Jackson @ NE or Larry Johnson @ BAL.
Stewart seems to be limited this week.

Advice?

fred jackson, he shoudl be in the game all day. The bills will not be scare to use him as a workhorse because lynch will be back week 4
