Which RB2?

[TREFF]

Interesting scenario in my 8 team, big play money league. .
My sister both disgusted by his actions, and assuming he won't play again this year, dumped Peterson. My best friend, notorious for doing the occasional odd roster move (but he's win this league as often as I have), dumped R. Jennings to pick up AP. So, having Ryan Mathews rotting on my bench and no IR, I grabbed Jennings for him. So now I'm left with this CF of crap to choose my RB2 from:

Jennings vs Houston
Gerhert vs Indy
C. Johnson vs Chicago
Vereen vs OAK.

Even though I think he's crap, I'm leaning towards starting Jennings.. anyone care to talk me out of it?

Thanks for posting this because I am debating between Gerhart and Johnson in another league...

I want to start johnson due to being a jets fan and i like having a player on fantasy to watch them play... But what scares me is the potential of not playing... They say he is questionable, and as the monday night game, there is no backup for him(since Ivory is taken in most leagues)...

Treff, I'd stick with Jennings. I have him going as my RB2 in a couple leagues.

Milk, I think you answered your own question. Start Foot's boy - Gerhart.

 

[SteelersPride]

Im a proponent of jennings, its not pretty but he gets the usage, and he still is getting 80-90 yards thus far, combined ground and air..........

vereen intrigues me since the raiders may be down a few LB's, but you never know what bill will doo

so Jennings

I've decided on Ivory over CJK and Vereen and Ridley... if that helps? I think I'd lean Jennings, but I'd be weary.

Yeah, Jennings...ugh. It probably would be between him and Vereen for me...with Gerhart in the back of my mind, wondering if he will score a TD or two against Indy. Jennings seems to be the safest bet.

I am a big Vereen fan, but I think Ridley gets the carousel call this week. Or maybe BB thinks that everyone else thinks that and Vereen gets the call. Is White still an option? Maybe BB says "screw y'all" and White gets the call.

Remember that movie "Being John Malkovich" where Cusack has access to Malkovich's mind? They were actually going to make it "Being Bill Belichick", but no one dared take the Cusack part. It was too ghastly to imagine.

Treff-
First- I do not think your group is crap...maybe a little stinky but not crap.
I would leave out Vereen (even though he is a great back) because of the Hoodie Sr. factor. Can't trust CJK to bust one off and that is how he will score in fantasy. So it is between Gerhart and Jennings. I think Gerhart steps into his smash mouth roll this week. I would play Gerhart, but for you this week it is a "crap shoot".

If it's between Gerhart and Jennings, I'd think Gerhart has unseen upside because Jacksonville should be better - this is their first game home and Shorts will be back to help the pass - while Gerhart should get some of the short looks that might have gone to Marcedes. For Jennings, it's not just about how meh he is himself, but how meh the Giants are as a team - and they have a couple of linemen with Qs.

Really you're hoping Jennings keeps getting receptions, since his rushing has been pretty paltry. And if you're going to count on a RB catching some passes to give him value, I'd go with Vereen.

 

[TREFF]

Lol...All good stuff, love that no one has a strong opinion for any one guy, reaffirms why I posted the question.

Thank goodness I've got Ryan, McCoy, Julio, Dez, DT, and Patterson!

I'll stick with Jennings and just hope

 

[kramer1]

Is Ridley not available to pick up? He's gonna go off today.
