Ask the Geeks: Week 3 (Part 2)

Chris asks - I think the answer is Barber III but I'll ask anyways... Barber's up against the tough Chicago Def that limited L.T., so should I start Betts instead against NYG, even with his small number of carries? As a side note, J.P. is staring the end of his days here. I see Edwards starting in game 5.

Matt's take - I don't like Barber or Betts this week. Any RB isn't looking at a great day against the Bears, and that goes double for a RB in a committee. But to say that Betts is in a committee would be an understatement - he's really more of a backup who'll be lucky to get 10 carries this week. Portis will probably have a very nice game, but I don't expect Betts to get much of the action (unless it's a blowout).
