I'd probably go with Brown, too. Unless Stewart is declared 100% (but with Mathews out, Brown should get more touches than Stewart anyways).
Same question, need to start 2RBs:
Forte, AP, Reggie Bush, Redman, Hillis.
Forte is a rather obvious choice, but not sure who I should start as RB2. AP probably very limited action, Bush up against a tough defense in a game the Fins probably will play from behind all game long (=passing), Redman hampered by injury, so I'm kind of leaning towards Hillis in this one. :think2:

The bigger question is how did you end up that bad at RB? It looks like you drafted Mccoy in the 1st round and then didn't take another back till round 7, maybe 6th at best. I sure hope the rest of your team is stacked and if it is I would consider trading someone for a respectable #2 RB.
legue is PPR and set up with 1 QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, TE, Flex, etc.
I have Eli Manning, Andre Johnson, Vincent Jackson, Miles Austin, Lesean McCoy, Titus Young, Pettigrew, Laurent Robinson, Davon Bess, and Denarius Moore (along with all the RBs on my bench)
keep in mind this is 14 teams so teams can't get as deep and I though mcCoy was a solid #1, Stewart was a servicable #2 and everyone else was one injury or good showing away from being a solid RB2...

OK that makes a little more sence. I still would like a better #2 RB as i'll disagree with you that some of those guys are 1 injury away from being a solid #2. Ronnie brown averaged 3.2 yards a carry and only had 136 yards last year. Even If he got 250 carries I dont see him being a solid #2. Benson was signed because Starks was awful. So if he sees the field don't expect a solid #2 from him either imo. he was like a #4 RB last year when Benson wasn't in the mix. I personally would still like to find a better #2 if I was you. Stewart is decent IMO but even get a guy like kevin smith or frankly Cedric Benson would make your team alot better i think. and neither of those guys would cost that much. Hell Cedric Benson and titus young are only being drafted 1 round apart. Thats pretty close right there.
To me if youre talking RB's that have a shot at being a legit #2 because of an injury youre talking guys like Ryan Williams or david wilson or rashad jennings or CJ Spiller. Not ronnie brown, starks, scott or a guy thats not even on a team
chop....at the time i had most of my drafts, they were all saying he would miss six weeks minimum.....I think that really dropped his value....someone who has to wait 6 weeks and has no training camp....might've been week 10 or so before we see anything significant....and that was provided he healed on that timetable.
at this point it looks like he is way ahead of that schedule.
