Now I just need help with the 2 RB positions. I'm really tempted to put Gado in against Detroit, but that would mean the loss of Jones or Williams. I am so confused!!!

I am torn on your RB situation.
Like you said, you could take Gado, because he IS playing the Lie-downs, but then again he could fumble the ball 8 times.
If you were to take two of the 3, I would take Jone and Williams.

Tough call. Cadillac appears to be back healthy, but he's going up against a great defense in Carolina.
Gut feel says go with Gado over Williams. Green Bay is at home, national TV game, Lions are in disarray, it's going to be cold so it'll be a more ball-control type of game (i.e. lots of runs), Green Bay will probably have the lead......
That said, Williams will probably have a solid game.

Gado...
Per footballguys.com...
The last time these teams met, during week 1, Samkon Gado wasn't on the active roster and Ahman Green was the star running back - a lot has changed since then. Samkon Gado has scored 6 TDs in his last 5 games, and rushed for 18/366/5 during that span - he is the top performing RB the Packers have left, and figures to carry the load (as long as he can stop putting the ball on the ground) - Gado is the 18th best fantasy RB over the past 3 weeks, with 56/193/2 rushing and 3/53/0 receiving during that span, including last week's 20/75/1 rushing and 1/12/0 receiving effort vs. the ultra-tough Bears.
The Lions' rush D is not nearly as imposing as Chicago's, averaging 121.5 rushing yards allowed per game to date (25th in the NFL), with an average of 169.3 rushing yards allowed per game during the last 3 weeks (508 rushing yards surrendered in that span). Minnesota ran for 32/103/1 against these guys last week - Detroit's defensive front is in the tank.
This is a great matchup for Gado to exploit.

Okay....so the gist is go with Gado, but it seems you guys have differing opinions on who I should take out....Williams or Jones.

I must have misread. I didn't realize we had to pick two.
I'd go with Jones, but you really could flip a coin. Both have a tough match-up I give the edge to Jones only because I believe the Panthers are slightly more stingy against the run.

I have made my decision after all your great advice and doing a little research on nfl.com. I have decided to go with Gado and Jones. Everyone is pretty much saying that Cadillac will have a tough time getting any yardage against Carolina's defense. Fingers crossed.

I left Cadillac on my bench too. I'll be crossing my fingers with you.

I heard McNair will play by both Fanball and Footballguys. I agree that is the best match-up for you.

Anyone else think this is odd? The guy I am playing this week has changed his lineup so that he is starting TJ Ducket over Bennet or Moore.

agree foster and alexander.
How about Jones or Taylor. Have to start one. THink Taylor will get more touches, but Jones will get the goal line work.  TIA

Safe bet would be Taylor.

That is an odd RB choice for your opponent. Maybe they are hoping for Duckett to get some short TD's. I would've picked Moore. I would use McNair over Green. I am stuck starting Green on my team.

Green is a solid play, but I dont think he will put up big numbers like the last few weeks.

Sonuvabeyotch!!!!! Cadillac Williams: 29 carries for 112 yards and 2 TD's!
The only thing making me feel better right now is I got 53 points off of Tom Brady and Marvin Harrison. :D
