    Jamal Lewis v. MIA?

    or

    Travis Henry v. HOU?

    I'm leaning towards Henry with the Texans front line in such a mess, and especially after the beating last week against CIN.

    But at the same time, how can I bet against Jamal Lewis!?

    Any suggestions?

    Jamal Lewis is having a career year. I would continue to milk him for all it's worth.

    And who knows what Buffalo will do. As big of a fan of McGahee that I am, drafting him when they had Travis Henry makes no sense. I would be afraid that they would start having Travis share carries with others on the team.

    The funny thing is that you are essentially asking which University of Tennessee RB to start - the star that was hurt in Lewis or his backup in Henry?

    Agreed that Jamal Lewis is kicking ass this year.

    However, Miami is 15th against the run this yr with an opp avg of 81.9.
    While, the Texans are 31st, with an opp avg of 137. Add to the fact
    that Texans DL is a bunch of scrubs, it's hard to bench Travis Henry.

    Hmmm...

    Guess I'll wait and see if G-Funk is playing this weekend.

    Well I have a philosophy of always trying to stay with one back. When I first started playing fantasy football, I would always guess wrong on who to start and not to start. It makes things a whole lot easier if you have a clear-cut guy and just start him every week except on the bye week.

    Better than it was last year!:D

    You probably can't go wrong either way, but it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Good luck.
