Trying to decide, have Matthews vs Oakland or Thomas Jones vs Indi? Tolberts been performing well in his absences, and not sure bout the ankle. Also have Michael Turner who hasnt done much but not too inclined to bench him for one of these guys?
Any ideas?

Thomas Jones vs Indi

Hey Luedog, thanks for venturing over to the fantasy board. I will touch on each player you mentioned.
Matthews- this could be his game to "break him back in" so to speak. He is facing an Oakland defense which has giving up the most points to fantasy RBs with 116 total. The only problem with him is Tolbert has been playing well and will likely sneak some carries, and of course there is always the chance Matthews injures the ankle again.
Thomas Jones- Indy falls at 26th against the run, giving up 93 fantasy points to RB. He could be the type of back that pounds Indy and gets a score or two. Again, the timeshare with Charles could hinder his production and the Chiefs could also be playing from behind, meaning more passing.
Turner- Cleveland has surprisingly been stingy against the fantasy run, giving up only 55 total points to fantasy RBs (good for 7th). They have shut down some pretty good runners in the KC duo, Ray Rice, and Ced Benson. Even though Turner is the only guy not in a timeshare, CLE's run D has me worried a bit.
Me personally, I would go with Thomas Jones. I like the matchup vs Indy, and if KC somehow gets the lead, then they will pound Jones with 30 carries. Matthews is too big a question mark, but if Turner announces he will get the bulk of the carries, then go with him. I'd sit Turner, but he still isn't a bad option if need be. You have a nice problem to have.
Good luck
