Dennis, in general we’re not huge fans of the Pats’ rushing attack in terms of fantasy reliability. The absence of Fred Taylor helps Morris’ cause, but there’s simply little rhyme or reason on a week-to-week basis as far as who will put up the RB fantasy points. Yes, Morris is the most likely to do so, but you can’t start him this week over Lynch; he might outperform him, but Lynch is the right play. The Pats will be looking to exploit that sieve-like Titans secondary early and often through the air, and they’re rarely tied to establishing the running game as it is. Go with Lynch.

Is Marshawn Lynch (going against a Jets D with something to prove after Monday) the clear cut starter over Sammy Morris this week?

Ooof, that’s a dilly of a pickle Phil. Not a huge fan of any of those options this week. After that showing last week it’s hard to trust Williams, even if this is a much better matchup. I would roll with Sproles and Morris, who should be solid but unspectacular.

Hey Josh- Mike Bell is indeed listed as probable, and he’s likely to get some touches with Pierre Thomas banged up a bit. But Thomas is also probable, and he’s simply been too good to lose many of his touches to Bell right now. Bell is a bit more powerful and he may get some goal-line carries and the Giants rush D has been poor, so he has some sneaky upside, but probably wouldn’t crack 35 on the list.

Mike Bell is supposed to be returning this week, any insight into where he might fall in the rankings? I’m kind of weak at RB and am thinking of getting him back out there.
