Mendenhall or LeShoure for the rest of the season?

[Sammy]

Yahoo predicts LeShoure to have the better season, but looking at the match ups going forward, I think mendenhall would have the edge. Opinions on them in a PPR league?

Good question...

Lions running game is not so great, but LeShoure has no competition.

Pit running game is a little better, but Medenehall is hurt and has Redmann, Rainey all stealing carries.

Leshoure should have a better "rest of season". Hes the primary RB in Detroit and has proven he's fully recovered from his achillies injury he suffered last year. Mendenhall on the other hand is a guy still fighting back from an ACL tear. He has already aggravated it a bit after his first game back. Expect PIT to take a bit of the load off by giving some carries to Isaac Redman and Dwyer. Mendenhall will still be the main guy, but to save his knee Pit may only give him 13- 18 carries per game as opposed to 18 - 25.

Leshoure is younger and has looked pretty good so far- stick with him. For more fantasy and sports betting advice follow @FantasyFrogs on twitter and facebook! Ribbitt!

I would go with LeShoure. Mendenhall's injury looks like it's going to be an issue for the rest of the year. (see Greg Jennings) Detroits offense is so bad at the moment, I wouldn't look for too many good games rushing, but in a PPR, he's definately a benefit.
