Brandon's take: Although you most likely spent a top 5 pick on him, I think you might want to bench Frank Gore this week. Addai is a no brainer to start. Kevin Jones has improved each week since returning from injury and goes against a terrible Denver rush defense this week (I've also projected him as a "stud" this week). The final decision is really between Barber and Gore. Barber proved that he can run against even a good rush defense two weeks ago when he almost hit 100 yards against Minnesota and should do well again this week. Gore on the other hand could potentially not even play this week with an ankle injury, but if he does I wouldn't expect all that great numbers anyways.
