October 25, 200916 yr Author Pick three: Pierre Thomas Tim Hightower Tashard Choice Jonathan Stewart AND Eli Manning or Tony Romo Not Tashard, too much of a timeshare. J-Stew looked good last week. The other 2 I would start for touch purposes. Go with Romo, I think he has a big day. That's just me though a lot of others might take Eli.
October 25, 200916 yr Pierre Thomas and Jonathan Stewart for certain. I'd go with Eli over Romo...the Cardinals are 30th against the pass and 1st against the run. Finally, the decision between the other two is a coin toss. Hightower probably won't get a lot of yards, unless he catches a lot of passes, but he does get red zone carries so he's always a TD or two possibility. Choice is supposedly going to get worked into the offense more, and if he does, I like his value. But, I'm not sold that he will. What is the status of Felix Jones? If all three Dallas backs are healthy and playing today, I'd go with Hightower. If Jones is out, I might give Choice stronger consideration.

That's just me though a lot of others might take Eli. And if you look at the numbers, Buffalo rates well against the pass and horrible against the run. With Delhomme struggling, I'd say Carolina will go heavy on the run again this week...just like last week against Tampa. There will be enough to go around for Williams and Stewart against the Bills.

If all three Dallas backs are healthy and playing today, I'd go with Hightower. If Jones is out, I might give Choice stronger consideration. I'm strongly considering it. There are some tough choices for me this week. I haven't seen anything yet on Jones status so I'm having a very rough time with this choice as well. But I'm with you on Stewart and Thomas.

That's just me though a lot of others might take Eli. I told myself I was throwing in Romo and sticking with it...but now I'm wavering back and forth.
October 25, 200916 yr I should probably add that I play in a 1/2 PPR league, which makes Hightower quite a bit more attractive.
October 25, 200916 yr Author I told myself I was throwing in Romo and sticking with it...but now I'm wavering back and forth. Look at what Hasselbeck did last week against Arizona. 117 and a pick and a fumble.
October 25, 200916 yr 5wide. Desaun against the Redskins who hold him to nothing when facing the Eagles, or Breaston with Boldin likely gimpy? I don't know. An argument could be made for either. I'd probably play it safe and roll with Jackson. Boldin sometimes produces more than expected when he's supposedly less than 100%. The Skins have a good D, but with WR's one long TD catch is a good fantasy day and Jackson has the ability to score from anywhere. Not to mention he can strike in the return game. The Giants defense is banged up, so Breaston could have a big day if Boldin can't contribute. That's the other side of the coin. I'd go with DeSean.

October 25, 200916 yr Look at what Hasselbeck did last week against Arizona. 117 and a pick and a fumble.I know but in the first five weeks Arizona was horrible against the pass. Was that a one week anomaly or the true Arizona pass D? Romo has been getting a ton of yards and is the most talented of the two. I think Eli is the safer choice but I'm really leaning towards rolling the dice as I believe Romo has much more upside.

Romo has been getting a ton of yards and is the most talented of the two. I think Eli is the safer choice but I'm really leaning towards rolling the dice as I believe Romo has much more upside. Romo has the chance to give you 8 points or 25. It's a hit or miss. Eli is a safe 12 ish. It's a matter of whether or not you're a risk taker. I have to go with Romo in my money league because Orton's on a bye.
October 25, 200916 yr I should probably add that I play in a 1/2 PPR league, which makes Hightower quite a bit more attractive. Then I'd definitely play Hightower. Who is Dallas playing? Atlanta? I'd go with Eli. That game against Arizona could be a high scoring affair.
October 25, 200916 yr Then I'd definitely play Hightower. Who is Dallas playing? Atlanta? I'd go with Eli. That game against Arizona could be a high scoring affair. Yes, Dallas is playing Atlanta. I just found this on espn's inactive reports: 12:23 p.m. ET -- Tashard Choice the Cowboys' lead back? -- ESPN's Ed Werder speculates that Tashard Choice might get the bulk of the carries for the Cowboys, being that both Marion Barber (thigh, probable) and Felix Jones (knee, probable) are a bit nicked up. There's no clear word on how the touches will be divvied up, so approach this backfield with a degree of caution. 12:09 p.m. ET -- Barber, Williams to start for Cowboys -- ESPN's Ed Werder reports that both Marion Barber (thigh, probable) and Roy E. Williams (ribs, probable) are expected to start for the Cowboys. That's a 4 p.m. ET game, so this serves more to alleviate the risk of waiting for them somewhat, though Williams isn't an advised fantasy play being that he's not guaranteed to make it through all four quarters. I hate these decisions!!!
October 25, 200916 yr Me too. It's the most annoying thing about fantasy football. That's why you don't want Brian Westbrook. :lol:
