P. Thomas is on bye this week and I'm left with five decent backs but they face really tough defenses. The match-ups stink! Please give me your advice. I need to start 2.
C. Benson vs BAL (1)
T. Jones vs MIA (2)
K. Smith vs PIT (3)
S. Slaton vs ARI (6)
J. Jones vs JAC (12)
The numbers in parenthesis represent the defense's rank against the rush...ouch right?
I think Slaton should be the first back. He hasn't had the greatest year so far, but he is bound to turn it around soon and this may be the week.
The second back is a bit harder to pick. I would either go with Benson or Smith. The Jones brothers have been too inconsistent this year. I think Benson is worth the gamble. He had a pretty good game against Pittsburgh earlier this season (81 total yards and a TD) and the Bengals always play tough against Baltimore (except the one blowout last season when they didn't have Palmer in the lineup).
