    if addai comes back and splits with rhodes id still go with addai. however, the most attractive out of that bunch is RICKY WILLIAMS
     i know he shares carries but now adays who doesnt hes guaranteed atleast 10-12 touches i expect a score from him this week as well as at least 50 yards

    Homegrown-pick up Ryan Torain-he was Denver's 2nd round pick , hurt his elbow .
     

    He's now good to go-selvin young is banged up.
     
    Ricky Williams may do alot vs a very porous Denver D
    Green Ellis from NE will start but Bob Sanders is likely back for Indy .
     
    If Steven Jackson is still out , Pittman will start.

    I like Ricky also.  I got Ronnie Brown and think they run all over the Broncos.  Ricky should get alot of the carries as always.

    Ricky runs good when he's not
     
    Last week he got a goal line plunge but was 7att for 16yds...
     
     
    Should be a good matchup against an atrocious Denver D

    I picked up Washington in case Jackson doesnt play. But if Jackson doesnt play, im picking up Pittman (jacksons backup) and will start him. I think he'd be good for a goaline TD or so.  I dont think you can go wrong with Williams, but im not sold on playing players with teams that split the carries (Even though im playing Slayton).  But with that said, i guess Washington splits carries as well, but he gets returns as well.  Its a tuff call.
