So Slaton vs BUF and K. Smith vs STL have extremely favorable match-ups this week and I'm thinking about starting both ahead of T. Jones. C. Benson on the bye. Is this a stupid idea?
Keep in mind that Jones has not fared well against tough match-ups (single-digit games against NE and TEN). If not for two short yardage TDs against MIA last time they met, he would have ended up with only 42 yards...eww. I'm a bit paranoid about Shonn Greene's role in the offense now too.
Wow...thanks for the comments guys. I like the debate. I feel like Slaton has such as strong match-up at BUF and the way that Schaub has been throwing the ball, I think BUF D will be forced to try to shut that down which might mean more opportunities for Slaton.
NFL.com has him as the start of the week and the ESPN rankings have him 3rd. This is really tough.
I'm definitely leary of K. Smith in DET. I just don't trust that offense but the match-up is mighty tasty and he has done fairly well this season. He's the guy there so that makes it more attractive than a co-op.
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm sure I'll be back here facing the old "I told you so" from Rick after this week :-) He already got me with Ryan vs. Romo...I should have known.

LOL, just remember it's just my opinion and my view don't reflect those of FF :)
