So I got a league with just a few friends and myself, I was 9th in the draft and really couldnt snag any top named RB, I had to go with a few darkhorse choices and under the radar cats. So heres the question.

Which 2 of the 3 should I start for my week one match up.

Currently starting:

Doug Martin Vs. Carolina

Pierre Thomas Vs. Washington

Riding the Bench I got:

Cedric Benson Vs. San Fran

I had CB starting but going up against the San Fran D I just dont think he will be as productive, I didnt pay much attention to the off season so I dont even know if San Frans D will be as good as it was last year but I am just assuming and went with Doug With Pierre. Should I keep it or Should I switch Cedric in, and who should I take out..

Also for some crazy reason NFL Fantasy has Julio Jones only getting like 8.3 points this week against KC. I got him as a starting WR, Do you think he will get more points or less than 8.3

Doug Martin is a no brainer.... he is a talent and I wished that the Colts would have drafted him but it wasn't meant to be.

Tough choice on the other two...

Thomas - it isn't 2009 anymore when all the draft books had him a top 10 RB going into the season. Yes he will be facing Washington but how many touches will he get with Sproles and Ingram in the game. I would have to bench him in favor of...

Benson - yes he hasn't had much time with the team, and yes he is getting a little older but he is the #1 option in Green Bay. With a stingy San Fransicso defense he may not rack up a lot of yards but he will get more than Thomas.

Martin & Benson

      Smith has been having a hard time staying healthy the last few years and he's due 19 mil next season with no dead cap to cut him.

      Well they replaced Strausser with Sparano which solved a problem.

      I disagree about Smith.  He’s an absolute road grader as a run blocker. He’s graded as one of the best in that category.  His pass blocking was around 71 last year. Considering the need for knee surgery that’s pretty good considering the DE’s they went up against last year.    Fries was solid last year. He plays with a mean streak and through the whistle. Fries was better last year than Glowinski was as a Colt in my opinion. I don’t see any reason Fries wouldn’t continue to improve. He’s an ascending player.    I hope the Colts hit on drafting Kelly’s replacement.  It was good that he had a bounce back year after 2+ sub par years. However, they can’t pay everyone and having a center with a $14 million cap hit is too much.    You can’t pay everyone. It seems like the Colts have a plan in place to replace Kelly and/or Fries after this season but I expect the Colts oline to be even more consistent this year with a healthy Smith and a QB who is willing to stay in a clean  pocket.  I also feel like the depth is there to handle injuries.

      One correction here.  The NFL has loosened the restrictions on veterans.  Six of the players have zero restrictions on how many NFL games a player has accrued.

      Nice house in good neighborhood for 200k.  Not where I live!   I agree that many people are under paid.  And @RollerColt is a prime example.   I thought about becoming a school teacher when I retired from the military but it just didn't make finacial sense.  I really appreciate what you do.
