Ladell Betts vs NO or Maurice Jones-Drew vs Ten?

Running back Ladell Betts rushed for over 100 yards for the third straight week, and fourth game overall this season against the Eagles (171 yards on 33 carries), earning himself a five-year, $11 million contract extension in the process. Over the past four games, Betts has carried the ball 92 times for 448 rushing yards and has caught 12 passes for 84 receiving yards (averages of 23 rushes for 112 yards and three receptions for 21 yards per game), but unfortunately, has only been able to score one touchdown (0.3 touchdowns per match). During this time, he has been utilized in 107 offensive plays (41 percent of the offense), including eight times in the red zone (27 percent of the team's red zone offense), and with one of those touches coming inside the 5-yard line. We believe however, that Betts is a weak play against the Saints' defense and consider him no more than a No. 2 fantasy back.

Short, compact and surprisingly strong, rookie running back Maurice Jones-Drew (http://www.kffl.com/player/13496/nfl) bared his claws in Week 14. He amassed an impressive 166 rushing yards on 15 attempts, including two touchdowns. He also caught one pass for 15 yards and returned a Colts (http://www.kffl.com/team/19/nfl) kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown. Overall, Jones-Drew accumulated a mind-boggling 303 total yards on the day. Jones-Drew has averaged 84 rushing yards, 20 receiving yards and 1.3 touchdowns per game since Week 11. He is being utilized 12 times per game (19 percent) with 2.5 utilizations per game (26 percent) inside the red zone and 0.8 utilizations inside the 5. Jones-Drew's nose for the end zone and tremendous talent make him a solid No. 1 or 2 play this week.
So, I'd start Jones-Drew.

Also, this week I'd start Furrey. He's 1st tier.

Greg Jennings is a great fantasy play this week against Minnesota. I'm probably starting him instead of Donte Stallworth.
