alright, i have pittman and fred taylor, pittman has been doing great lately, and taylor has been in alittle bit of a slump, but taylor is going up against the vikings horrible defense, but pittman is going up against the horrible panthers run defense. who should i start????????

I would rank the rushing defense of both teams to be about even. Minnesota has given up 12 rushing TDs while Carolina has given up 15. Minnesota has given up 1238 rushing yds on the season while Carolina has given up 1332. VERY close but Carolina is a tad worse. So, I believe it boils down to the players themselves...

Pittman has 565 rushing yds and 6 rushing TDs on the season. He also adds 146 receiving yds and a receiving TD. Taylor has a bit more rushing yds at 757 plus 1 rushing TD. He also has some receiving yds at 275 plus a receiving TD. You have to consider that Pittman's numbers are quite close to Taylor's and he's done it in 7 games played as opposed to Taylor's 10.

I say go with Pitt. He's on my roster and I have him starting. Good luck to ya.

I wouldent start Pittman becuase I thihnks its bad luck to have FF players that are also on your Real team. But thats me.

If I was not a buc fan i would start Pittman for the simple reason he has had 5TDs over the last 3 games. Taylor is only playing to par(par for Taylor that is) right know where as Pittman is heating up. IMO Always start the player thats heating up or coming of a big game. Its a toss-up thats the Joy of FF. Also Taylor has only 1 touchdown in 10 games VS Pits 6 in 3 less games and 5 in the last three.

Good Luck.
