Originally posted by awesomeyoungjedijust wondering who to put as running back for my fantasy squad this week. chiefs are home to carolina so it could be tough for holmes
however new england are at arizona which is supposedly easier but they play a passing game.
so which player will get more points? i am leaning towards dillon as this could be his breakout game what does the forum think?

Priest scores and has scored a minimum of two td's per game forever. Plus carolina looks a little suspect on D.
First, I have a couple of questions...how many backs can you start? I'd start both if I could, but I'd still go with Holmes against Carolina. Ahman Green and the Packers did a pretty good job with the Carolina defense at Carolina(119 yds rushing, 3 TDs total), and I would think that since the Chiefs have one of the best offensive lines in football, and Priest Holmes is a top-2 back, plus the fact that they're playing at home, he should do well.
EDIT: Also...it's generally a good rule to never bench your studs. In this case...Holmes. I'd leave him in the lineup forever unless he was missing a leg or something.
The Cardinals won't be an easy game for the Patriots this week. Remember, early last season the Packers went into the desert in hundred degree conditions and were knocked off by the Cardinals. Plus, Tillman Ceremonies Pre-Game mean if the Cardinals will ever have a home field advantage from the crowd, they will have it early Sunday. Thus, if New England keeps their winning streak going, it will probably be another Brady Drive late (17-1 career games decided by less than a touchdown).
Holmes should be a lock every week and like it was stated earlier, Ahman Green put up some nice #'s against the Panthers. Couple that with it being KC's home opener and a must win and Priest goes for 200+ combined rushing & receiving with a min. of 2 td's

So Dillon won the rushing game but Holmes got TD. Not in a fantasy league this year but IIRC it's 1 point for every 20 yeard rushing or receiving and 6 points for a Touchdown... If that's the case Holmes beat out Dillon 9-7.
smark/net attack wienerville advisory holds at ORANGE alert - High (JBL is STILL WWE champion and now smarks arch enemy HHH is the World Champion. Major red threat, but the undercard seems okay. The alert holds... for now)- 9/19

In the W League I it's 1 pt for every 10 yards, so if he were in a league like that at Yahoo! it would be:
Holes: 8.2 total yards + 6 pts = 14.2 Dillon: 15.6 total yards = 15.6
I wouldn't bank on Carter doing much on a weekly basis for the Jets. Martin, Moss, Mcariens, and probably Jordan and Becht are all ahead of him in the pecking order there.

This thread illustrates the problem I have w/ my fantasy football team...with the point-production goodness of having both Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens on my squad, I'm forced to keep Brady, my other QB, benched.
Of course, there's always my Priest Holmes running attack. 1st overall picks rule.
Star wipe, and...we're out. Thrillin' ain't easy.

I'd suggest keeping at close to the New Orleans area as possible; there's no reason to move it so far away. Los Angeles? Why? Find somewhere in Lousiana.
