Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Maurice Jones-Drew, Darren Sproles or Marshawn Lynch?

Kyle VassaloNov 26, 2011

It's tough when you find one of your superstars with a tough matchup and one of your lesser players faces a soft defense.

Do you start the superstar or the guy with the cupcake matchup? That's what Danny asked in the comments section of this article.

Hey Kyle,

I'm having a running back dilemma this week, I have Arian Foster@Jack, Maurice Jones Drew vsHous, Darren Sproles vs NYG, and Marshawn Lynch vs Wash. I have to pick two, Arian Foster is the obvious first choice but im leaning towards Marshawn for the RB2 just because of the matchup. What do you think?

Thanks a lot

Danny

Great question Danny. As you said, Foster is a lock, but while I like Marshawn Lynch's matchup against the Redskins and Darren Sproles is a viable option, Jones-Drew is one of those players who should never see your bench.

He's up against a Houston defense that features a fierce front, but MoJo is a threat to have a monster day regardless of who he's up against.

Getting cute and starting Lynch against the Skins because they are struggling could backfire. Go with the safe start here.

Jones-Drew broke for 105 yards against the Ravens and has touchdowns in his last three games. Don't let the Texans' top-five run defense scare you away from starting an elite back.
