I would probably go with Stacy and Ellington. Depends on what you think of early games. Could roll with the plodder over either. Can the Cardinals defense keep it close to keep Ellington effective. The Eagles can be taken advantage of on the ground.

Also do you think I should start kaep over foles? So I don't have both foles and McCoy starting?

The reason would be role uncertainty. Asiata could have another big week against a vulnerable GB defense, but the other 2 have more secure roles. I think the all 3 are close enough in weekly value that it is a true toss up. McKinnon has the highest upside of the entire group, but also carries by far the most risk. He is the 1 of the group that I would eliminate from the conversation right now unless you need a crazy gamble to compete.

No. Foles is a lot better than Kaeps.

On the RB question I would go with Ellington and Assiata. It would be hard to argue with Stacy but my two are as noted.
For QB I would definitely start Foles over Kaep. From week to week Kaep my out perform occasionally but Foles should be better in the long run.

Asiata is exactly the type of back that will give GB fits. Look what Forte did against them, and they were the worst rushing team heading into their matchup.

I wonder if GB gets a big league, forcing The Vikes to throw the ball in the second half…thus leaving Asiata with weak production.

Forte and Asiata are about as opposite in style as it gets

Did you just compare Matt Asiata to Matt Forte?

The only thing those 2 have in common is their first name and their position.

Asiata is a solid play, but no better than Stacy or Ellington. Don't go overboard because he gots couple TDs against arguably the worst run D in the league.

In terms of style? Yes. Never said he was better than anyone. Both are best between the tackles, taking what the defense gives them. Neither one is going to make defenders miss them (at least not with any regularity). And they'll just keeping hitting the line. Against GB? That's what will work.

Especially considering that the field is going to be sloppy from rain all day, and it sounds more and more likely that Ponder will get the nod. So I'd look for Asiata to carry the load tomorrow.

Well, it's close enough for a coin flip. SF are playing a KC team coming off a huge win. Crabtree's foot a possible distraction, Vernon not playing. Bolding and Stevie are fine, but....

Foles has thw Rams at home coming off a tight loss. His O line banged up, not sure if Chris Long is still out or not. Still, StL hasn't stopped many yet.


Either way won't kill you. Like last week, go with your gut.

Stacy and Ellington. Can't help it, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on Asiata.
