Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread
I really like Douglas ONLY if Jones sits, he can easily go 7/100/1 against that Steeler secondary and keep in mind Roddy White is also not healthy which means Douglas could easily see 11+ targets. That said there is no way I can play him if Jones is active. That is a really bad gamble IMO because you are betting on Jones being a decoy. If Jones plays his regular roll but with less snaps you have to start him over Douglas. The problem is we won't really know that till the game kicks off. I am hoping whoever is covering the game focuses on Jones in the pre game warmup and catches a glimpse of him running. If Jones is on the field running in the warmups he would be all systems go. Even on a snap count, I'm comfortable taking that gamble against that Steeler defense.
I also have Boom Herron and he is a very intriguing option again this week. He was very effective catching passes out of the backfield last week and instrumental in the Colts scoring drives. Would of had a walkin TD to if Luck didn't throw the ball behind him. I can see the Colts using Boom more in the passing game again this week because Houston's weakness on defense are their lbr's. I'm not starting him because I have Stewart, Ingram and Hill who are guaranteed 15-20 touches with favorable matchups this week. I would start him over everyone you mentioned though.
