Should I play Tiki Barber or Frank Gore this week in Fantasy Football?

I would start Gore for these reasons:  1) Gore is playing a more vulnerable defense.  2)  Tiki's thumb is hurt and Sports Illustrated just reported that his thumb has now swollen up to twice it's size.  So you have to keep in mind now that he might not play the whole game and could be more susceptible to fumbles.  3) Gore is more likely to score a touchdown than Tiki.\n\nIf you have Tiki you should probably pick up Brandon Jacobs as in insurance policy.

Posted on Tue, Nov. 28, 2006email \nBruised but not battered Gore is expected to play\n49ers notebook\n\nSANTA CLARA -- X-rays were negative for Frank Gore, which was positive news for the 49ers.\n\nThe running back is expected to play this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. "I'll be ready," Gore said.

Taylor is playing Houston... That is a safe bet... he is Jac #1 RB, and they are playing an easy D. So he will do good this week.\nNow I would say Dunn in a normal week, but considering Lewis is playing the Titans, and they are 31st in Rush Def. I would go with Lewis on this one, because ravens will most likely play it safe, and use Lewis a lot, and win this one.\nBut that is just me... you have good RB's/ if I was you I would trade some for some good WR, or a solid QB that can take you through the playoffs...\n\nGood luck this week!

Edwards, hands down!!!  As you said, hes playing a horrible pass defense and has scored the last two weeks.  I have him on my team and I'm starting him without doubt.  I also have henderson and am sitting him because it looks more like colston will play now, and henderson will be non-existent if colston plays.  Colston was able to practice fully today with no complications.  thats not a good sign for henderson.  just to be safe, go with edwards.  you cant go wrong with that choice.  he's the browns go-to-guy, and i see him getting over 100 yards and at least one score.

if your in a TD heavy league then Barber III since he gets the majority of the goal line carries, if your in a rush yds pts heavy league then go with Foster since he is their workhorse on the ground but doesn't get to many goal line opportunities.

They did a pretty good job containing Tiki last week, but seemed to have a problem stopping Brandon Jacobs who is a much bigger back and more of a North-South guy. Addai isn't as big as Jacobs but he is a between the tackles kind of guy and Indy showed last Sunday that they are committed to establishing a running game and that Addai is clearly the man there. Their O-Line is probably the best in the NFL at protecting the QB, which usually translates to a great running game as well.\n\nSo get Addai into your starting lineup. Just don't expect the kind of numbers he put up Sunday. Figure 15-20 carries for 70-110 yards with a TD or two.\n\nGood luck!

Definitely start Portis and McAllister.  Their matchups against weak defenses (DAL and TB respectivel), bodes well for good fantasy numbers this week.  Gore will get stuffed by a MIN run defense ranked #1 in the NFL.  Johnson will have trouble gaining yards against a solid BAL defense.\n\nDefinitely go with Portis and Deuce

Gore for sure for first pick and Johnson for second because Palmer should be able to move the ball through the air, and get Johnson in closer for a score, and the last time they played this year Johnson had 78 yards and 1 td, so my best bet would be Gore and Johnson, hope this helps, good luck

That's actually a tougher questions than I realized when I first glanced.  What you have here is Joe Horn, who is the better receiver, coming off an injury.  Before his injury, he had 2 100+ yard games.  Deion Branch, however, has not had a 100 yard game this season.  Deion also doesn't have the luxury of havn't a healthy pro bowl caliber QB and RB.  \n\nMY ANSWER:  Since both players are going w/ wickety wickety wack pass offenses (Cinci giving up 226.7 and SF giving up 221.6 yard per game), I say go with Deion because at least he's healthy.  I'm sure he'll get a least one touchdown againt the niners.  \n\nSidenote:  If Joe Horn is 100% and only 100% healthy, go with him.

Brown. If he can run against da bears he can run against anybody. Brown is averaging more than 12 points a week, i wouldnt call that lowly. About the same as Gore's. Granted Detroit doesnt have a good run defense, they held the falcons scoreless the last 2 quarters. Might b a tossup.

Go with Addai he has been doing very well and is playing the Eagles. I would go with Jamal but he is playing the Steel Curtain GO STEELERS!

Your right on with all your picks today. Tiki has been loosing all his TDs to Jacobs and Frank Gore, he plays for SanFran. The two jones will light it up today. Also your thoughts on LJ and Crumpler are right on. Alge is the better TE but you have a way better match up with LJ.\n\nGood Luck

You should start Devery Henderson. Henderson will be Drew Brees's favorite target, and the #1 WR on the Saints(#1 Passing Offense in NFL) this week because M. Colston is day to day with an ankle injury and won't be 100% if he plays. New Orleans should have a big game passing wise against Atlanta(#29 ranked pass defense in NFL) The NO-ATL game will be filled with points, because both teams have top 10 offenses(NO-#1, Atl-#9) and poor defenses(NO-#17, Atl-#20). Deion Branch is a better WR, but Henderson will have more fantasy points than him in week 12. Expect really big fantasy numbers from Henderson in Week 12.

Tiki Barber\n\nYou should go with Tiki because of his good matchup against a Tennessee Defense which is ranked 31st Overall(375.9 ypg), and 30th against the Run(148.1 ypg)\nSo look for Tiki to have a 150+ yard day on the ground with a TD or two.\n\nHope this helps,\nGood luck.

Wow...this is actually a tough one.   I don't think Garcia has the arm strength to utilize Stalworth....and the Panther's defense is going to probably really stymie Philly this week.  Pit's go to reciever this week is going to be Washington..who has more size and is more an end zone threat...but Holmes is developing a rapport with Ben of late.  Also...playing tampa...who are just dreadfull on pass defense.  I'd use Holmes in a spot.  The saints terrence copper might be a 4th WR...not a 3rd....if Colston plays...and I think Colston will play.  I would not consider him there.  Instead I would actually use either fuerry or Battle...and I;d lean towards Fuerrey.  The niners offense runs through Gore.....not the outside WR's.  Fuerry has a good WR opposite him to draw away pressure.  Fuerry is on a team without a runner you can have much faith in right now...so i think Fuerry has a gooed chance to see heavy action.  Detroit is likely to be trainling....so they'll probably be going deep towards Fuerry with some regularity.\n\nTo sum up....my advice would be Holmes and Fuerry.

Colston should get better numbers, the other two won't be as big of a factor in the offense.  Henry won't get that many touches since the should be playing from behind most of the game, and Barber is nothing more then a third down and short back!  So go with Colston!
