Droughns or Faulk?

My RB production has been awful this year, so believe it or not this is a meaningful question!

I start Jamal Lewis, Fred Taylor and Droughns weekly. I have Marshall Faulk and Tatum Bell on the bench. Faulk is playing against Seattle @ home, and as I recall the Rams typically light up the Seahawks.

Droughns is playing against Chicagos decent D.

Droughns is a starter, Faulk is obviously a backup, but Im thinking Faulk may have a big week as a change of pace for Jackson, who is a bit dinged up, and ESPECIALLY as a receiver. I can see this as a huge game for Faulk.

Thoughts?

I would probably play it safe and start Droughns. I always go with the guy who's guaranteed carries over a backup.

I agree with you. I just have a feeling about Faulk...been right about a few so far this year (Neil Rackers last week was HUGE) and dont want to slip up. Thanks!

You know I have faulk and I actually have that same feeling.

what ive learned with fantasy is go with your gut feeling. The last 2 weeks, I was thinking of starting Jake Delhomme over Kerry Collins. 2 weeks ago, Delhomme got only 4 points more than Collins, but I lost the game by .16 of a point, no joke. Last week, I lost by 6 points, Delhomme got about 14 more points than Collins at least.

In that passing scheme, Marshall may have some better chances of scoring, I may lean towards Faulk, but Droughns is the workhorse of Cleveland.
