Start/Sit: Dallas Cowboy Marion Barber III

With the fantasy football finals being played this week, the decision to start or sit Dallas Cowboys' RB Marion Barber III looms.  Given he was completely ineffective against a tough New York Giants run defense last week, fantasy footballers should sit Barber against a tougher Baltimore Ravens' run defense.

Also consider the lost chance to start another RB for tomorrow's game if you roll the dice on Barber and he fails to produce.  Who doesn't want the chance to start a different RB before Sunday's games?

All things considered, Barber should not be starting for any fantasy football teams this weekend.

Favre @ Sea or Thigpen @ Mia?


Gostkowski (home; ARI) or Bironas (home; PITT)?


Zach Miller (home; HOU or Shockey (@ DET)

Lucky you

Still going.

Favre, Gostowski, and Miller. I can’t say any of these are really easy, though. Favre faces a bad pass defense and a revitalized Seattle offense under Seneca Wallace. This should stay close enough that favre will get in his 30+ attmepts.

I like NE to be able to score. I worry that inclement weather though.

In a PPR, I think Schockey is a safer play now that Bush is out. Unrealted, I wonder if Lance Moore recovers his mid-season value without Bush around.

yep, i am still going, thanks to some help from you....

PATs are only worth 1 point, while FGs are worth 3, 4, or 5….

It’s not a PPR league.

Or

Imagine the bomb squad they must have if they felt Ok starting him over a Chester Taylor – a back I assume is readily available by now.
