MJD, or Ryan Grant this week?

AzJetFan · 10-04-2008, 12:33 PM

In what should be a close match up this week with bye's starting to factor in.
I am trying to decide between Maurice Jones Drew, against the Steelers, or Ryan Grant against the Falcons.

Both have done very little for me this season but i've managed a 2-2 record, am in 2nd place and playing the 1st place division leader who is 3-1.

My initial thought is that Grant should see alot of carries with the injury to Rodgers and should be expected to carry much of the load.

I really don't have a feel for MJD against the Steelers??

Any comments would be appreciated!

I'm facing a similar decision of picking 2 between Grant, Stewart against KC or Westbrook against WAS.

Grant could explode against Atlanta, but the injury to Rodgers could have the Falcons stacking the box and Grant's been awful this year so far.

I really just don't know. How have the Steelers been at run defense this year? If good, I'd probably take a shot with Grant. This is his make or break week for me either way.

Steelers have given up 296 yards on the ground,
Falcons have given up 517 yards on the ground.

I agree, i'll give Grant one last chance.........
