Question: Which RB should I go with in week 16?
The Championship game is on the line! I have Jamaal Charles, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Fred Jackson, Matt Forte, LeGarrette Blount, and Tashard Choice.
Pick your best three. I am definitely starting Jamaal Charles and likely LeGarrette Blount. Looking forward to your input.
Best answer:
I like your choice of going with Jamaal Charles and LeGarrette Blount. It’s between Matt Forte and Fred Jackson. I would go with Forte.

Question: Sit/Start: Week 2 RB’s – Forte, McFadden, Norwood, or Moreno?
I had Matt Forte and Darren McFadden starting week 1 and they both played poorly. Should I start Matt Forte vs. Pittsburgh this week and switch out Darren McFadden vs. Kansas City? Start Darius Norwood and Matte Forte perhaps? I don’t know. What do you think?Thanks!
Answer:
There’s no question that you go with Forte and McFadden. McFadden is playing KC and should have a good game and you cant ever sit Matt Forte, especially with all of his touches in the passing game. I’m not sure you can ever sit McFadden for Norwood, that’s crazy talk! Run DMC is going to have a big season.…

Question: Which 2 RBs sould I start in week 7?
Marshawn Lynch vs. ARZ
Matt Forte vs. WAS
DeAngelo Williams vs. SF
Pick two and tell me why.
Answer:
I would start Marshawn Lynch and Matt Forta and Bench DeAngelo Williams. The 49ers have a superb defense and Williams is splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart, so his fantasy potential this week is limited. Marshawn Lynch has a great matchup against Arizona who doesn’t have a great run defense. Although Matt Forte had a dud last week, he put up 30 points the week before. I see him as a better option than Williams this week.

Question: Start/Sit question? Forte or Leon Washington?
Should I sit Matt Forte against Pittsburgh for Leon Washington who is facing New England?
I’m worried about Jay Cutler’s impact on Matt Forte’s stats and obviously the Steeler’s defense. I think Leon Washington could be huge this season, plus the Pats “revamped” defense (which just lost Richard Seymour and Jerod Mayo) already gave up a big fantasy game to Buffalo’s Fred Jackson. Am I getting “too cute” here?
Answer:
Leon Washington is good and I like him too this year. But like you said, don’t get too cute. You probably got Matt Forte as your stud RB. Play him no matter what.
My concern with the Bears this year is that they’re getting away from what they should be. They’re a running team. Forte should be getting his carries. During the Sunday night game, it seemed like the Beers felt like since they got Cutler, they had to run the Broncos offense from last year. Denver ran that offense because they had strong WR’s. The Bears strength is their running game.

Question: Week 7 RB advice?
Who should I start, Matt Forte or Jonathan Stewart? Stewart is playing Buffalo and Forte is playing the Bengals.
Best answer:
I would go with Stewart. He’s got a favorable matchup and should look good against the Bills defense this week.

Question: Need help picking my RBs for week 3.
QB: Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Delhomme or Carson Palmer
RB: Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Jacobs, Larry Johnson, or Steve Slaton (Pick 3)
Best answer:
Jake Delhomme – Delhomme will be getting Steve Smith back. Palmer has been struggling and Hasselbecks WRs are hurt.
Steven Jackson – Jackson will go nuts in SEA as this the Rams best chance to get a win while Seattle’s offense is struggling.
Marshawn Lynch – Lynch should have a very good game against OAK as the Bills will get great field position all day against a terrible offense.
Brandon Jacobs – Jacobs will run all over the Bengals.
