Tough week 6 lineup decision....thoughts...

[roach23]

Trying to pick my #2 RB.

Adrian Peterson (MIN) @ Bears

Brandon Jacobs @ ATL


Who'd you go with and why?

 

[FairWarning]

Peterson because Minnesota has a better OL than the Giants, and Jacobs will be splitting time. Tough to play AP, but he can break one at any time.

FW i was thinking that. But I'm wondering how much run Chester Taylor is gonna get.

The Bears got run on pretty good by GB last week. 100+ yards and a TD.

But the Falcons are still worse than the Bears run D. And Jacobs was splitting time last week with Ward but still got more carries and managed 100 yards and a TD.

I think Peterson has the higher upside of the two.

Roach - a little Chester Taylor news for you:

From RotoWorld:

Vikings RB Chester Taylor and DE Erasmus James reportedly got into a fight after Thursday's practice.
James is said to have punched Taylor in the face, causing Chester to hit James with a chair. Coach Brad Childress called a team meeting afterwards, and Taylor showed up with a black eye. James was added to the injury report with a hurt shoulder. Taylor is about 5-11/210 and James is 6-4/260+.

Brandon Jacobs in a landslide. He is getting the majority of the carries and it's much easier to run on ATL. 100+ yards and 2 TDs for Jacobs. 75 yards for Peterson.

and more likely Jacobs gets the goal line carries.

Nothing else, you have some nice depth.

ap shitted all over us today

AP was great today. Hopefully Jacobs gets what I thought he would so I don't look like a total fool. Never saw Peterson going off like this (doubt anybody did).

Nice call FW!!
