I'm having trouble deciding who to start. MJD did not have a great week last week, but kind of hoping for better.

McFadden is usually pretty good IF he stays healthy...that's been the story of his career though.

Start Mcfadden.

I believe the Raiders will be keying on MJD, bc their QB sucks.

I'm considering starting Mendenhall over MJD. Don't know if that helps but I don't have much faith in the jags

Henne is a much QB than Gabbert. I'm starting both. But I'm giving MJD one more chance this week.

So you are starting Mendenhall against the defense that held AP under 100 yards, 77 of which came on one play while Mendenhall only got 64 rushing yards on about 17 attempts against STL? Solid idea. Especially when MJD is playing the worst team in the league besides his own.


Back on topic:
Oakland is terrible. So is Jacksonville. I'd play McFadden over MJD, but if you can start both, do it.

MJD has a much better offensive line and has played on bad teams almost his whole career. I mean hell he had 1600 in 2011 with Gabbert completing 50% of his passed and more INT than TD, nor did that team have any other offensive player other than MJD.

I haven't been doing much research this season and that right there shows why I should step up my game. Thanks.

not last year. He sucked whether he was injured or not.

1 carry for PIT 64yd TD then 7 carries for 64 yards. That was 1 of only 2 games he averaged over 3.9 ypc.

There were 11 games where he got at least 13 touches and 8 of them were at least 20 touches. He was basically worthless unless it was PPR.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Pick 2 and a flex:

Lynch vs SF
TRich vs Balt
MJD vs Oak
DMC vs Jax
