Fantasy RB problem.... start 2 players from same team?

[Xelent]

I was wondering if I should start both Priest and Johnson or start Priest and D. Davis vs the Steelers?

Priest and Davis. Johnson only got 8 touches last week.

On FSN fantasy sports show (first time I watched it), they said they usually don't advocate doing this, but against the Raiders, start both Johnson and Holmes if you got room.

LJ should see another 10-12 touches this week, but has the explosiveness to break a big one at any time - last week's 9 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns + 1 reception for 11 yards is not out of the question against the Raiders, but a more conservitive (and more likely) prediction is that he's good for 100 combined yards and a touchdown this week.

Davis would be one of my last choices for starters this week. The Steelers gave up only eight rushing touchdowns last year, and only allowed five opponents to gain more than 100 yards on the ground. Their defense is too good to consider using Davis, in my opinion.

LJ + Priest are clear starters if your third choice is Davis, in my opinion.

It's interesting that this might come up and be a factor for the rest of my season. I wouldn't be suprised if the two of them combined for 35-40 TD's this season.

This is an interesting situation. I have Johnson but not Holmes. I am trying to trade Johnson but it is tough to get agreement on his value. I would much rather start him than Davis, however.
