My RB's haven't really done anything for me this year and I need help.

MJD
Fred Jackson
Andre Brown
Jonathan Stewart

I want to drop Andre Brown but having trouble on who to pick up

Alex Green, Starks, Stephens-Howling, both the Powells, Kendall Hunter, Jahvid Best are all available (there's a lot more options too)

Who would you go for?

I don't trust Starks. Turf toe sucks and it seems like you never get over it. Kendall Hunter is pretty good but not very valuable unless Gore goes down. Alex Green will likely be the starter on a very good offense so I'd tend to lean that way but there's so many mouths to feed on that offense. However, I guess the same could be said for New England and Ridley has been very productive.

Im in the same boat. Arizona has a miserable offensive line. Its hard for me to believe that if Ryan Williams and beanie wells couldnt run behind that line then any of the 3 replacements will be able to do it. Stephens-howling may have some value in PPR catching passes out the backfield but he's in the mix with 2 other guys limiting his value in standard formats. The other Powell seems to on hold for now since shonn Greene looked better Monday night, but the Jets O-line is nothing to write home about either. Kendall Hunter seems to be coming on strong, but unless Gore gets hurt or the 49ers are really kicking the shite out of someone, it's hard for him to get enough touches to consistantly score points. In PPR I like Alex Green, Javid best, Stephens Howling in that order. In standard formats, Alex green and javid best. Just my 2 cents.

I'd go for Alex Green - most upside.

While the Zona RB's are tempting, there's no damn way I could trust that horrible OL.

A team in my league has Ryan Williams, Andre Brown, Pierre Thomas, and Tashard Choice. Don't ask me how.

Agreed with everyone on here Green has the best chance to do big things the next few weeks, check too if anyone has added Mendenhall yet his 1st start was last week had 80 yds and a TD on just 14 carries and the Steelers will run it now with him being back

Another possibility if your stacked at another position like WR or QB and someone else has Donald Brown for Indy, try and low ball them a trade offer, he's gonna have a great next couple weeks running it facing the next couple opponents with the worst run D's in the league

Donald brown got hurt after I posted

So a sleeper this week could be Vick Ballard who gets the start for Indy in his place

Who did you end up going with?

I'm trying to convince myself to pick up an Arizona running back. Just taking a flyer on one. I have room on my bench, picked up both bilal Powell and daryll Richardson earlier this season.
