    hey guys, I need a little push here to make a pickup

    who would you pickup from this bunch for the remainder of the year

    T.Choice, Reggie Bush, C.Portis, M.Barber, J.Jones, Hightower

    I am looking for lightening in a bottle here for the rest of the season who gives me the best chance

    and

    Matchup play

    I have the Jets D for this week but would you consider the Buccaneers for just this one week and bench the Jets

    Buc's play Carolina

    Is it a ppr league? Bush is probably your best choice and then Portis. Im not convinced yet Dallas is going to actually run the ball plus Felix Jones is way better so, in theory, he should take the majority of the touches. I would say J. Jones but they have too many other rbs plus Thomas and Bush should be back soon. Portis is okay but not exactly lightning in a bottle. He gets some TDs but hasn't really been extremely productive. 

    Basically, I dont like Choice, Barber, Jones or Hightower. Bush has more big game potential than Portis, or so it seems this year even though neither have been extremely productive. 

    I would probably go with Bucs also, is it in Tampa?

    Felix Jones starts, Barber the finisher, Choice the change it up wildcat back. I wouldn't want any of them, except maybe felix. Barber can get you TD's or nothing. Most of the time its nothing.

    Portis? Lightning in a bottle? lol. Torain is the feature back, and portis is now the third down blocker, and he's injured proned. He's not coming back to Washington next year. They need someone who won't stumble after 3 yards.

    Hightower is a good play for this week, but he's clearly the #2 back when Beanie Wells is healthy. Wells health has been a concern all season, but Steven's Howling also gets his touches and is effective with them.

    Reggie Bush and Julius Jones. Julius Jones is finished. Pierre Thomas hasn't played in 2 months. I would want Reggie Bush. Even when Thomas comes back, Reggie is still good for 7 points a game. Julius Jones will be relegated to his 2 carries a game with Ladell Bets afterwards.

    Id go with James Jones, Driver old and injured and no J. Finley. If defenses decide to lock down Jennings, Jones could be the best receiver on the team, he has size and speed with his only downfall being his inexperience which causes fumbles and drops. He may not be consistent but he is the closest thing to catching lightning in a bottle (most likely every other game)

    took a chance and picked up Reggie
    my Rb's are not spectacular
    LT, SJax, P.Thomas, Woodhead, J.Stewart

    Had Chris Johnson but traded him away
    got more than I expected out of LT since I got him in the 8th rd but now Im hearing 50/50 split
    I got hosed on Thomas taking him in the 3rd and JStew in the 6th hurt me as well as I thought he would be somewhat viable
