Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 2: RBs

For the previous part:
Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 1: QBs

This is Part 2 of the starts and sits for Week 9:

RB

Start 'Em

LeGarrette Blount (at Saints)- Blount is scheduled to return this week and has a matchup against a New Orleans defense that just got torched by Steven Jackson in Week 8.

Mike Tolbert (vs. Packers)- Tolbert will return to action in Week 9 and he should be able to take advantage of the increased touches with Ryan Matthews possibly out after missing practice all week. Curtis Brinkley has been cleared, but should have be in a backup role to Tolbert.

Beanie Wells (vs. Rams)- this is the third straight week that a running back going against the Rams defense makes this list. Last week, Pierre Thomas and the Saints were unable to take advantage of this matchup, but remember that just a couple of weeks ago DeMarco Murray went off against St. Louis. Wells is expected to play and should be able to take advantage even without his usual explosiveness.

Sit 'Em

Ryan Grant (at Chargers)- Grant has been losing carries to James Starks and the Packers are a passing team first, which further limits the opportunities Grant has of carrying the ball. He should be rooted firmly on everyone's bench.

Delone Carter (vs. Falcons)- Carter makes his way back into this list, not because of the matchup, but because of Joseph Addai's return. With Addai being and probably starting, Carter will be relegated to splititng the remaining carries with Donald Brown again.

Ryan Torain (vs. 49ers)- this is the second straight week that a running back going against San Francisco's defense makes this list. The Redskins' running back situation is impossible to predict due to the Mike Shanahan factor. Even if Torain ends up with the majority of the carries in Week 9, he will be up against a top San Francisco run defense.

The remaining parts will be up soon and the links will be added to the this post. All parts are done and posted.
