Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em – Running Back

Start ‘Em

Stephen Jackson has been a big time disappointment for Atlanta but has found his groove and the end zone with 3 TDs in the last 2 games. They go against a shaky Green Bay team that will most likely be without Aaron Rodgers for another week. Also, Trent Richardson has all but lost any and all confidence as well as his starting job to Donald Brown. If you take away the discrace of a game Indy put up against Arizona where Brown only have 1 yard on 2 carries, the last 2 games he has had 3 TDs. Technically, he is still splitting the carries with T-Rich but Brown is getting the start and will see the majority of the touches. He is also a good receiver out of the backfield.

Sit ‘Em

As a 49er Faithful, I hate to go against my own, but lets face it, they had their chance at a Superbowl victory last year and OC Greg Roman blew it with the WORST string of 4 plays from the 5 yard line imaginable. He should have been fired before leaving the stadium for making those calls. Umm…Run and then Run again…That is what got you there so do it again!!! Anyway, take a breath and even if you love Frank, you need to sit Gore against Seattle. He will be lucky to muster up any yards and not only because Seattle is that good defensively but because we are that bad offensively! Also Staley and Iupati are still not healthy and it is uncertain if they are going to play on Sunday. Even if they do, they will not be at 100%.  Also, Alfred Morris has been one of the best overall RBs this year and is always at the top of his game, but this week he goes up against the Chiefs and he will not see much running room.
