Default RB2 this week?

Standard categories, who would you start?

Charles @ Pittsburgh
F.Jones @ Philadelphia

Charles looks like he's going to play, but I'm concerned about any lasting effects of his knock last week. Also, if (as most expect) Pittsburgh gets ahead early, that could limit Charles' opportunities to be productive.

Jones looks to start again with Murray still out, but he's had mixed fortune lately. He appears to have the easier matchup, and given his involvement in the passing game, I expect him to be involved regardless of the situation.

So,

Charles - better player, horrible offense, tougher matchup (arguably)
Jones - worse player, better offense, easier matchup (arguably)

If it makes any difference I also have Bowe and Pittsburgh's D starting. Also Big Ben and Wallace.

What say you?

Tough call. I really dont like either this week.

I would go with Charles. He is pretty much all KC has on offense. Anythings possible.

Philly isnt a great team, but Jones is a terrible back. Even against a terrible run D in Atlanta (they are ranked 29th against the run) Jones and the other Dallas RBs were limited to 65 yds on 18 carries. Not to mention, the Eagles have owned the Cowboys recently.

I would go with Jones. Pitts defense is going to eat Charles alive.

One vote each so far - at least my dilemma is a legit one and I'm not totally off with the uncertainty.

It's a pretty classic case of talent vs. matchup. Charles is easily the better player, but Jones has a juicy matchup that should inflate his production. When in doubt I always go with the talent, so chalk up another vote for Charles.

Thanks, I was leaning towards Charles. I guess it doesn't matter as much that I'm also starting Big Ben, Wallace, Bowe and Pittsburgh's D. Monday night matchup decider for sure.
