Should I start Edgerrin @ SF or Ricky vs. NYJ in week one?

Question

If you can add a little depth to your response that would be great. Kind of a toss up for me. The trends are telling me to start Ricky but he hasen't played a full game since 2006.

Answer 1

Ricky is more of a flex option. He is Miami's starter, but it'll be interesting to see how they dole out the carries with Ronnie Brown in the mix. James is the starter as well, and he's posted 1,000 yards for five straight seasons. Hightower has looked good in the preseason, but James will get the rock 20-plus a game all year long. As for the matchup this week, you've got to like James going up against a weak San Francisco defense. Good luck!

Answer 2

Ricky williams 100%

He is going to get the majority of carries with ronnie nursing his injuries

Answer 3

Brown is going to be healthy and playing week 1. He will limit Ricky's carries. I would definitely say Edge HANDS DOWN!! No doubt.
