Who should I start at running back in week 1 of my Fantasy Football League? ?

Question

Here are the RB's I have: Ryan Grant (Green Bay vs. Minn); Maurice Jones-Drew (Jags vs. Tenn); Willis McGahee (Ravens vs. Cincy); Lendale White (Tenn vs. Jags); Matt Forte (Chicago vs. Indy)

I was thinking of starting Grant and McGahee, but Jones-Drew could have a big game, too. Help me!!!

Answer 1

I would start mojo and mcgahee ( if he is heathly, pay attention to him prior to game starts) i would normally start grant but it is vs minnesota #1 run stop defense. So go with maurice and mcgahee

Answer 2

You have it right ...  Grant and McGahee not only are the most consistent runners on your team, but they're also facing lighter defenses ...  we all know Cincinnati is a shot for shot team and although Minnesota improved its defense a bit, they still haven't seen game action together, making Grant a good bet ...  you're making the right decision, best of luck this season

Answer 3

you should check the injury status of McGahee....i got in late in my draft and for good reason....he is coming off knee surgery!!!!!! u should check ur updates on all players as well

Week 1 line up should look like this:

Grant----going up against #1 run defense however he was the ONLY 100yd rusher against MINNESOTA

MJD #2

White #3

Forte #4

Answer 4

I think McGahee is a must, but I'm still somewhat nervous about his injury. Make sure to check up on that before gameday and decide then. MoJo also recently sprained his ankle but I think he should be good to go for his game. Sit White and Forte for now.

So the biggest question is the same one you are having, Grant or MoJo. After looking at the facts, I honestly think this is a toss up. Grant's going against a stellar defense, but he did great against them last year. However, he is also coming back from injury and no ones knows how healthy he truly is. But he is the workhorse of the team.

MoJo is not the feature back, but he's huge in Jacksonville's gameplan. He is also coming back from an injury (although more minor) and is facing another stellar defense in Tenn. But, due to recent happenings, I think MoJo is your man. Taylor got busted so Mojo may see more time and carries. See what Taylors status is before game time, if hes out, then MoJo for sure. If not...then flip a coin haha.
