Fantasy football experts, I've got a question.

I picked up Rawls on waivers but he's playing the Steelers who shut down running backs. My other choice is Chris Johnson who's playing the terrible Niners run defense that Rawls lit up last week. Many of the fantasy sites say to go with Rawls but I'm just not sure. It's a PPR league.

what say you?

Rawls. Wouldn't trust CKJ2 if I needed a win.

Agreed rawls. But are we talking rb1, rb2 or flex?

Eta: if rb1 then rawls
If rb2 then how good is rb1, because cj has a better upside.
If flex, same as rb2 but waver wire might have a better point scorer due to matchups

If you have Julio Jones you should preform the ultimate trade rape and try to get Jimmy Graham

Need to watch and see how healthy CJ is. He's had a knee issue all week. He did light San Fran up the first time he played them tho. 120 yds or so and 2 td's. I'd roll with Johnson if he gets to probable

Mark Ingram is my RB1. This is my RB2 position.

Ingram is vs Houston on the road. Not a perfect matchup but not awful. If you feel the need to "gamble" go with Johnson. If you need sure7-8 pts then Rawls.

Johnson's injury is a concern, but vs San Fran he could go off.

Rawls will run hard and get carries. Might get a goaline score.

Has to do with your position. I'm trying to stay in the playoffs and playing a weak opponent. I'd play Rawls in my situation. If I were going against a higher scoring team I'd be tempted to go with cj to raise my high side.

I know Ingram isn't great but he gets his points from catches too. Rawls could do the same. Had Cobb, Golden Tate, and Carolinas kicker yesterday and they all exceeded their predicted stats and his didn't do so hot (he had Demarco Murray). I'm in a good position.
