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.
I think you should go with your origional gut feeling. Slaton and Smith....Slaton will make up for whatever is lost in run yardage with pass yardage. Especially if that's a PPR league.
