Which Rb should I start for my week 1 match up?

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

    • I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.  
    • I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.
    • I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
    • Unfortunately, (Or fortunately) I have NEVER lived in Indy   I'm from Ohio, but would take Atlanta and Dallas weather any day of the week over Indy weather.     I could see the Colts in the playoffs or at a bar on Sundays (On the 2-3 years that I didnt get Sunday ticket)   I am waiting for my $100k check from the NFL !!!        
    • Yeah AR, quit enjoying life and stop trying to stay in shape! Stop playing BB-bad for knees Stop running...bad for hammy and joints Stop lifting weights...might tear a muscle or tendon No cycling...too many distracted drivers out there Stop driving....again,too many crazy drivers No more showers...might slip in the tub Don't throw...anything....might hurt that shoulder Avoid going up or coming down stairs....you could slip and fall Play it safe AR....enjoy your summer and see you at camp! PS...don't fly either..lots of crazy things happening to planes
