Week 5 RB selection

Hey guys, I've got LT, Portis and Kevin Jones on my roster. The toss-up is between Jones and Portis. Any suggestions?

portis ... the o-line is starting to mesh, and detroit could be playing from behind

Portis has been running really well so think it'd be pretty hard to bench him. He should at least be able to get close to 100yrds. I just checked my leagues stats and he is the second leading scorer among the 1st round draft picks (behind rudi johnson).
The lions will be going up against Minni, and if they can get into the clock management groove like they did against us Jones might not get the ball very much.

Portis. Jones is hit or miss and Minny can be good against the run.

Thanks for the input guys! I was pretty set on using Portis.

thats how we are going to win sunday. portis, portis, and then some more portis

That's an EASY one. Kevin Jones should NEVER EVER be started in place of Portis. Even a Portis with a bum shoulder will score you a TD (Week 1). Jones is too inconsistant for me to even have on my team...plus, he's a Detroit Lion.

Awesome job getting LT AND Portis. Jones should only play on Portis' bye week for you, since LT had his bye already.

Jones and Portis have the same BYE week, unfortunately.

how the hell did you get lt and portis? is this a 2 man league?

Actually, it's a 12 man league and everyone has been playing for a while. We drafted after the last pre-season game and Portis was still dinged up. Everyone was reluctant to take him in the first round and then on the 2nd round there was a run on WR's. For my second pick (23rd overall), I just grinned as I said "Thanks for giving me the championship, guys!" I even got the receivers that I wanted (Driver, Roy Williams and Coles).
