Rudi Johnson returns from a hammy to play in Buffalo. Willis McGahee goes into Pittsburgh on Monday night. Recommendations?
If Rudy was healthy I'd say play him for sure, but a big guy with hammy trouble is dicey. You might only get a few carries out of him before he re-injures it. I have McGahee in my money league, and with him stifled by offensive genius Brian Billick's asinine play calling he can be a totally frustrating fantasy RB. With McGahee you know he's going to get a lot of touches, whether or not he'll have much success with the Pittsburgh D stacking the line is debatable, but I think he's still a much safer play. Willis is also coming of his best game of the year. On a side note, when will the Ravens organization realize that when the team actually wins it's despite of Billick not because of him. The guy is totally incompetent. Even as a guy who doesn't care much for the Ravens, I find watching Steve and McGahee trapped in that offence painful to watch. insert buck fillick image here
I've got Rudy on my team and I'm going to hold off until I know he is 100%. Watson has played well in his place and my guess is Rudy gets limited action this week again.
