RB Report: Week Three

Ronnie Brown vs. Ricky Williams The awaited breakout of Ronnie Brown happened on Sunday when he rushed 17 times for 113 yards and 4 TD's and threw another TD. He only caught 1 pass for 9 yards and catching passes is is real strength. Though Ricky Williams owners were forewarned, Williams is still the backup and he himself rushed for 98 yards on 16 carries. If you can keep him a little longer, do so. Winner: Ronnie Brown Steve Slaton vs. Ahman Green With old-a$$ Ahman Green still safely resting-up, rookie Steve Slaton rushed for 116 yards on 18 carries and scored 1 TD. In addition, he had 4 catches for 8 yards , all against a dominating Tennessee run defense. Winner: Steve Slaton Jonathan Stewart vs. DeAngelo Williams The Panthers faced the top-notch Viking defense in Minnesota and Stewart manged just 15 yards on 7 carries, though he did manage the lone Carolina TD, which points out once again who will get the most goal line looks. DeAngelo Williams didn't fair any better gaining just 27 yards on 10 carries and 2 catches for 17 yards. Winner: Jonathan Stewart by a hair. Darren McFadden vs. Micheal Bush Neither back did much against the tough Buffalo defense. Bush gained 55 yards on 14 carries and caught 1 pass for 5 yards while McFadden ran 14 times for 42 yards and caught 3 passes for 6 yards. Push

McFadden Breaks Out

Oakland rookie running back and top running back taken, Darren McFadden, rushed for 164 yards and a TD after Justin Fargas went down to an injury (surprise, surprise). We knew it was a matter of time for either Fargas to go down or for McFadden to breakout, well both happened in just week two. If you have Fargas, dump him, it was a bad move in the first place. Bush is a better option. By the way, Michael Bush rushed for another 91 yards and a TD on 16 carries. He should continue to get goal line carries and more playing time with Fargas down. Sin City Scout
