I had the wonderful privilege of drafting AP and Doug Martin 1 and 2. They have royaly screwed me. I am 0-2 and have a divisional game this week. I also drafted Moreno and Ingram. My RBs currently are Doug Martin, Rashad Jennings, Knile Davis, Matt Asiata. Which three do I start? It's a PPR league.

I am leaning towards Martin, Davis, and Jennings. But I just read Rainey is to start tonight.

Asiata is playing against what looks to be a terrible Saints D..would be hard for me to not start him.

I'd go with Davis, Martin, and Jennings. I don't trust Asiata this week in what will likely be a blowout with the Saints playing in the dome.

The ballsy move would be davis and asiata. I think that davis is your best option right now and asiata is going up against a saints defenses that has (unfortunately) been a sieve so far this year. I don't know who I would pick between martin or jennings. I might lean jennings.

ETA: NVM. I think I would do davis/asiata/martin(if healthy)

I agree that Saints D has been horrendous this year. But it is the first game in the Dome and I feel like that place will be rocking and the defense will step it up.

My wideouts are Keenan Allen, Victor Cruz, Markus Wheaton, and Justin Hunter. I am starting Allen and Cruz. I can throw in Wheaton or Hunter in the flex. But I don't really like Wheaton's matchup this week and Hunter hasn't proven he should start yet.

Not just this, but the offense is likely going to put 40+ on the Vikings. How many touches do you think asiata will get once they're down 2 scores?

If Martin starts, start him. If Rainey starts, start him. If they both start... It might be worth it to start both of them (expect a TON of runs against ATL's bad defense and to slow down the game to a crawl; gives Matty Ice no way to rack up points assuming TB is effective with their runs which they could be).

Davis
Jennings

Jennings plays the Texans thats a tough call...Starting Davis should be easy choice and then I would start Asista

Well then that leaves me with Martin who is banged up and won't even start tonight.

It could happen. I'm not going to predict a completely dominating blowout. Even if it is, it is unlikely that the Saints defense completely locks the vikings out. Someone in the viking offense has to get yards besides patterson.

Do you mean if Martin starts, start him and if Rainey starts, start Rainey or start Martin?

Is this a 3 RB league? Or do you not have a WR to plug into the flex?

No I do. I posted that above. I'm starting Keenan Allen and Cruz. My other two wideouts on the bench are Wheaton and Justin Hunter.

I didn't think he had rainey. Maybe I read that wrong.

Wait, I thought you had Rainey from reading your original post. If Martin is still out, I guess you have to go with the other three.

My only problem with Wheaton is he is going against Panthers D. But I do like to think that they will be zeroing in on Brown leaving him with easier battles to get open. That is if Big Ben can have enough time to get rid of the ball.
