I have a dilema in my money league..... First week of the playoffs and I don't know who to start out of:

Jamaal Charles vs Raiders (In Oak)
CJ Spiller vs Seahawks (In Buffalo)
Frank Gore vs Pats (In NE)

I have to pick two out to the three to play..... Any suggestions/help please....

Gore for sure and Charles probably.

That Oak D just got gashed up and down the field by Knoshewn Moreno. Should be some pretty easy sledding for Charles.

I think Charles is a given, Gore and Spiller are pretty even. If it's a PPR league go with Spiller...if not...you could flip a coin, but I still like Spiller's upside more then Gore's.

Seahawks have a top 5 rush defense. Spiller would be my third option to start of the three.

One - the game is not in Seattle, where their defense is much better

Two - Fred Jackson is out of the picture

Three - over the last 4 weeks both the Patriots (SF's opponent) and Seahawks have allowed an average of 20.5 fantasy points to opposing running backs. I think Spiller is the more dynamic player and there is a chance the NE offense can take Gore out of the game plan.

Not 'arguing' , just sharing my reasoning.

I ended up benching Gore. We'll see how this goes......
