NEED fantasy football help!

[rondo987]

I'm in quite a pickle this week. Actually, its a good problem to have considering I have a plethora of start worthy running backs. But still, I have a feeling I could make a terrible decision, so I want to ask the help of my fellow celticbloggers who seem to be pretty smart. I saw someone post a poll question similar to this, but I'd rather do this in words only since I want some feedback as well. So here is my dilema.

My league allows me to start 2 running backs (1 rb, 1 flex wr/rb). I have Chris Johnson (vs. the jets), Ronnie Brown (vs. the Chargers), and Willis McGahee (vs. the Browns) as my possible choices. If you follow fantasy football, Chris Johnson basically put up ridiculous fantasy numbers last week, which makes it hard to bench him. But if your a  pats fan, you should know first hand that this Jets defense is for real. Chris Johnson didn't do much against an elite pitt defense in week one, but he always has the potential to break 1 play for a big run and 6 points. However, both Ronnie (who played well last game) and Willis (has had 2 great games) both have favorable matchups...

Which 2 do I start?

I'd say Johnson and Brown.  I just don't trust McGahee and his role in Baltimore's offense, which seems to change every few weeks (dating back to the last couple of seasons).

Johnson is the must start.  Even against the jets, he will be able to put up silly points (Fred Taylor had 3-5 long runs, and he is not nearly the player Johnson is)

As for the other 2, I like Brown's matchup, but McGahee has been really really good thus far (and the featured back near the goal line). 

I trust Brown more, but I wouldnt be surpried if McGahee outpoints him

I think I'm gonna go with Johnson and Brown, but I find it tough to sit McGahee since he's playing the Browns.

I don't care what the matchup says, you gotta start Chris Johnson.  That guy gave me 55 points last week.  Anyone who does that is legit and you have to start despite what the matchup must say.


I like McGahee for the other back. I think CLE is a favorable matchup for him and he should get plenty of scoring chances against that defense.

i have to start 2 of McGahee, Ronnie B, and steven jackson this week (unless i want to bank on Knowshawn Moreno's breakout week or Julius Jones vs. the Bears).

Ronnie v. San Diego
McGahee v. Browns
Jackson v. Green Bay
