Who to bet on? - The Orange Mane

Going up against a team with Brady and LT on it.

I have the following players as no brainers:
QB
Ben Roethlisberger
Terrell Owens
Wes Welker
Tony Gonzalez

Which leaves only the question of what to do with my #2 RB/Flex position:

My options are:
Reggie Bush
Travis Henry
Laurence Maroney
Calvin Johnson
Kolby Smith
Adrian Peterson (Chicago)
Sidney Rice

Believe it or not, I am in a pretty shallow league (14 teams). We are points per yard and TD, so Reggie is a decent option for me, Kolby was a stud last week against the radiers, and I like Adrian Peterson's ability to catch and run the ball. Henry is also a proven option, but Selvin's there to split passes with him. Calvin is a stud sometimes and the suck other times. Maroney is just a wasted draft pick.

Who would you pick?

Id say henry if he gets the nod, look what Kolby Smith did to Oakland last week.

Marony sucks this year, Bush is streaky (Brees prefers real wideouts) Kolby Smith wont be able to run like he did vs oakland so really Henry is your only option.

Yeah, but Calvin Johnson's going up against the team dead last in the NFL in terms of giving up passing yards.

Has Calvin put up consistant numbers all season? Seriously Henry will have a bigger day, or at least won't screw you over. Go with the safe bet, plus Henry has a bigger chance for a huge day than calvin. Detroit just spreads the ball around too much in the air, calvin never goes for massive weeks.

Bump. Calvin isn't doing ****. I'm so smart!
