From the podcast's , it sounds like John Paulson does a lot of the rankings, on this web site. I noticed that C. West is listed as the 9th RB for WK 12. Does he or anyone know if he is even going to play this week? I have not been able to find anything out about his status at this time. Or is the ranking based on if he plays ? I see the L Murray is listed # 16 on the road VS Tenn. 17th run Def. and E. Lacy is ranked #17 at home VS the Bears generous (#24) run Def. Is it the time share with Lacy and Starks or what?? L. Murray has had single digits for 3 games in a row vs def. ranked 12th to 23rd and not sure Tenn. is the cure. Lacy in a time share VS a decent Minny team (15th vs run) ran for over 100 yds. ?? I'm thinking the Pack gets a lead and runs it at Chicago's forgiving Def. to shorten the game. Denver is not great at running the ball and Hillman was 21 for 102 yards while CJ Anderson was 12 for 59 yards in Chicago. Just saying is all....
Yes, John does - I believe - all of the rankings week to week at least. Normally a player won't appear on the list if he doesn't practice, so I'm going to assume West has practiced and there's a chance for him to play. I know West was "day-to-day" after the game according to Reid, so based on that it's very possible he plays. Should know more today as Wednesday is a big day for injury reports, etc.
Given Lacy is still a little banged up, too much of a lead in this game and Starks probably cleans things up as there's no point in putting Lacy in a blowout. So maybe that factors in as well? I hate to speak too much about it and assume what he's thinking. I can only offer my input based on what he produces. Lots of moving parts and obviously John is very good at these rankings. I would hit him up on Twitter if you have a specific question about these two guys and I think he could shed more light on for you.
