Mathews gets Denver
Smith home vs GB.

I'm leaning with RM, but kinda starting to believe in Smith as the lead back in DET. Plus he's an above average receiver.

I would go with Smith...He was suppose to be the man in Detroit before he was plaqued with injuries. I guess he's back 100 percent. Yet RM does have a better matchup on paper. Flip a coin...

Go Smith if you trust him after one good game.

People on the fantasy board also said go Scott Chandler after one week

And Torrey Smith
And Doug Baldwin
Jon Baldwin
Ryan Torrain
Denarius Moore
Damian Williams
Roy Helu

For every guy who sustains production after his breakout game, like Demarco Murray, there are ten guys like the ones above who shite the bed the next week.

You have Smith on your roster, great. If he is indeed proves to b a serviceable player Thursday, he will be there the next week for you. You can go all in with him for your fantasy playoffs knowing he had back to back decent games.

Matthews is still the 10th best RB in PPR and is averaging 15 points a game. I'd rather go with him against the 20th defense vs the fantasy run than Smith vs GB's 14th ranked D.

Just the way I see.

Torrey Smith has played well since his break out game...

Im not really trying to argue today, but he followed his 3 TD game up with a 1 catch for 1 yard game.

Point being, he has been inconsistent. Im not saying he hasn't had another good game.

I'd still go with Mathews but I understand your frustration with him, he's on my team also. He has only 167 yards on the ground the last four games. He also hasn't found the endzone since week 3 vs. the Chiefs.

A little thing to remember about Kevin Smith. He played against the league's worst rushing D. This is the same D, that according to some of you tards, was torn a new a-hole by the "worst running back in the league", Chris Johnson.

Packers run D is not the San Fran run D by any means, but they are a tougher matchup than the Panthers by a long shot.

Gyno pretty much covered all the bases on this one. I just wanted to throw in the fact that Kevin Smith torched a run D comparable to your local high school.

Yeah Im not saying don't pick up Smith. I'd start him in some cases.

I'd play him over guys like Battle, McGahee, Pierre Thomas, CAR RBs, Shonn Greene, Benson.. those type of backs

But Matthews had 125 on the ground vs DEN already. I'd give him a shot one more time before throwing Smith out there.
