Week 8 Start/Sit Part 2: RBs

For previous part:
Week 8 Start/Sit Part 1: QBs


RB

Start 'Em

Ryan Matthews (at Chiefs)- Mike Tolbert is likely out and Matthews will be going against a Kansas City team that has difficulties stopping the run.

DeMarco Murray (at Eagles)- Murray had a breakout game in Week 7 against St. Louis and will have another great matchup on his plate against Philadelphia.

Pierre Thomas (at Rams)- with Mark Ingram officially out, Thomas should see an increased role this week against a St. Louis team that just got torched by DeMarco Murray. The Rams are bad enough that both Darren Sproles and Thomas should be able to put up monster fantasy numbers.

Sit 'Em

DeAngelo Williams (vs.Vikings)- Williams has been losing carries to Jonathan Stewart and goal line carries to Cam Newton, he should be rooted firmly on everyone's bench.

Maurice Morris (at Broncos)- Morris was unimpressive last week against the Falcons and will be going against a strong Denver run defense, in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.

Peyton Hillis (at 49ers)- Hillis (appears to be suffering the effects of the Madden curse) is officially listed as questionable and is not likely to play this week, but even if the does he will be sharing carries with Montario Hardesty against a top San Francisco run defense. Don't expect either running back to do much this Week 8.
