| In a 10 team, yahoo default pool, start 2 RB per week. This is my first football pool, so I don't really know how to value RBs very well. Scoring: Passing Yards (25 yards per point) Passing Touchdowns (4) Interceptions (-1) Rushing Yards (10 yards per point) Rushing Touchdowns (6) Reception Yards (10 yards per point) Reception Touchdowns (6) Return Touchdowns (6) 2-Point Conversions (2) Fumbles Lost (-2) Jamal Lewis was just dropped onto the waiver wire. Is he worth a pickup as a reserve RB? What about Derrick Ward? My starting RB are: Steven Jackson and Frank Gore My current reserve RB are: Brandon Jacobs, Ladell Betts, and Jerious Norwood. Is Lewis or Ward a better option than one of my reserves? edit: I just noticed that Brandon Jacobs has a sprained MCL and looks to be out for a few weeks. Should I drop him outright for a waiver claim on Lewis or Ward - or should I keep him on the bench and run with Jackson/Gore/Betts/Norwood as RB's?

You have great starting RBs - despite their lackluster production in week #1. Hold onto Jacobs - he will hopefully be fine. Betts is also a good RB to have. I'm not so high on Norwood, but he's far from drop material. As far as Lewis and Ward are concerned, I'd rather have Ward. Lewis has a permanent starting job, but I don't think he's very good, and he's playing behind a poor offensive line. Ward, though, would be helpful for you considering your situation with Jacobs. If you can fit him in w/o dropping any RBs, I'd go ahead and do so. That way, if Jacob's injury is worse than feared, you should still have the NYG's starting RB.

You can always pick up a WR if needed later in the season.
