He is projected like 19 on yahoo. Am I missing something? Should I start him over Vereen or mike Wallace? Did something big just go down in Tampa.
Last time I check he was projected like 10

I'm having the same problem. I have Le'veon Bell, Stacy and Rainey. I'm getting conflicting projections from every website I look at. I know I'm going to start the wrong one and its going to screw me

Projections from ESPN in my PPR league:

Rainey - 11.6
Bell - 16.7
Stacy 14.6

Bobby Rainey, Buccaneers: What am I missing here? How am I the only guy to have him ranked in the top 20? At least 18 touches in three straight weeks. Yes, he has come down to earth since the crazy Atlanta game. But whatever. It was Detroit and Carolina. Many running backs struggle against those two teams. And he had 71 total yards against the Panthers in a game they were trailing almost the entire time. So you've got a guy who's going to get a ton of carries against Buffalo. As our player card notes, the Bills have allowed a combined 370 yards and five rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs in the past three games. Solid RB2 this week

Despite the fact the Bills have given up five touchdowns to running backs in the past three weeks, this is a much better defensive front than the numbers suggest. Outside of those five touchdowns, the Bills have allowed just two more touchdowns the rest of the season. Sure, they are trending the wrong way of late, but so is Rainey after his Week 11 breakthrough. Rainey looks headed for 20 carries for 55 yards in our eyes, which would make him a huge bust in crunch time. Put your trust in a better player in a crucial week.

I would go bell and Stacy I don't trust Rainey right now even with 20 points projection. Last week he only got 9

That's what I really want to do, but I'm just a little hesitant about it. Apparently Zona's run defense is legit and they're playing at home so that worries me about Stacy.

It'll be a game time decision for me but I know for sure I'm starting Le'veon Bell. Just gotta figure out who I'm going to play out of Stacy and Rainey

I know Buffalo's defense isn't a sieve but he did play against Detroit and Carolina, maybe the two stingiest run D's. He's going to get 20 carries unless they get blown out, I can't see him having only 55 yards and has a pretty good shot at a TD IMO.

edit: would go Bell and Stacy over Rainey. Rainey over the SJax, Buf RB's, Gio, etc

Stacy has two of his Off linemen out this week. One of them is Jake Long. Arizona has only given up 3 total TDs to RBs all season long. I'm going with Rainey at home
