sit or start Ronnie?

Semedi · 09-01-2008, 03:14 PM

Hey all, I'm in a somewhat unique situation... In my league, we have the option of starting anywhere from 0-3 RBs each week. My runningbacks are Marion Barber, Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, and Felix Jones.

Obviously I'm going to start Barber and Ricky, but do you think it would be worth starting Ronnie week one as well? I'm trying to get a grasp on how slowly the coaching staff will be bringing Ronnie back to full speed. Who is more likely to be the goal line back?

i would agree on sitting Ronnie for now.

It depends on who else you have in your lineup to replace the spot used for Ronnie. If there is an extra receiver that is expected to get decent numbers (assuming you use rb/wr flex option), then it would be a no-brainer to sub the receiver instead of using Brown.
Otherwise, if there is no viable option on your roster, that leaves you hoping Ronnie will see significant action.
Also, if the rest of your roster is pretty strong, take a chance on Ronnie. If every point is life or death, go with the safest bet.

I'd wait a weeek or two to get an idea how we'll use him.
