Should I start Bishop Sankey (vs. Houston) or Doug Martin (vs. Cincinnati)?

It looks like my matchup is going to come down to the wire, and I am fighting with my opponent for the last playoff spot. Every point counts. Thanks for the help!

I would avoid TB RBs whenever possible. Sankey is your guy.

Is Asiata (Vikings) available? McKinnon isn't playing.

That is an even worse situation, IMO. Who will be the guy? Asiata, Tate or Banyard? Asiata could have a big day, or he could get 4 carries for 8 yards.

Sankey, but it's not because I like him.

As a Sankey/Martin owner myself i'm going Sankey. I actually picked up Martin this week after he was dropped in our 8 team league. But that's more of a shot and a prayer hoping he gains value back by next year. Not so much for this week or this year. So roll with Sankey but don't expect much.

out of everyone mentioned the only guy who is definitely gonna get the touches is sankey.

Sure, any of them could get hot and get more touches....but none are definitely getting them like sankey is

Take the guy getting the rock, sankey.....

Yeah I picked up Martin this week because I'm screwed at RB. I had Ball...then I had Hillman...couldn't get Anderson, so I'm stuck with Sankey. I took McCoy and Ball with my first two picks so my RBs were pretty thin to begin with, and with so many injuries it's been a struggle. ESPN projects me to win by 5 and get into the playoffs with Sankey, but also projects Martin to outscore Sankey. I'm aware that ESPN's projections mean next to nothing, I just thought I'd ask. Thanks guys!

Nope. Probably the best available RB is Helu, and I'm not sure that I like him any more than Sankey. I don't think I'm sold on Banyard either because who knows who is going to get the carries in Minn. Here's the "best available" in my league based on ESPN projections. I just don't see anybody worth grabbing.

Ouch. Which bowl of crap would you rather eat?

I'm hoping it won't matter. I'm set at QB (Luck), RB1 (McCoy), and WRs (Cobb and Gordon). Flex and RB2 are a little questionable, but it helps that Forte and Bryant only scored 11 each for my opponent.

So I am assuming that you guys would recommend Sankey over Jonathan Stewart as well?

Well, missed out on this decision, but 51 from Luck and 32 from Stills makes those 8 points left on my bench not hurt so bad :yahoo:
