I think he needs to start showing more or Lovie may have to either bench him or start giving Peterson more carries. That's especially true if the Bears don't turn things around in the Win/Loss column. A few more losses and weak offensive efforts and the QB position won't be the only one under fire.

If Jackson and Morency don't play the Packers will have to start Grant or Wynn. And even if Morency plays, it's doubtful he does much. So yea, there's a good chance Grant starts. It's a brutal matchup, though, and I don't expect the Packers to run much.

What makes people think that Brian Leonard can do what Steven Jackson could not?

Has Jackson been playing through injury all season...or did you see a play where the groin tear occured last week?

I figured they'd milk it for the Christmas season.

You are on a small aircraft with Greg A and Brett Favre. Its Super Bowl weekend 2008 and you are flying to the big game where the Packers are playing the Patriots,,,

All of the sudden, the engines fail totally.

There are only 2 parachutes, who gets the 2nd one? Favre or Greg ?

~Lance Jackson did have a huge rushing game last week so it's not like he's been brutal the entire season. Another point is the Rams' RBs have caught a combined 14 passes in the first three games. Remove one of those RBs and now you have one guy (Leonard) who could catch 4-5 passes each - that makes him a very nice option in PPR leagues. I don't think Leonard goes off but I do think he can get 80-90 total yards a game with 4-5 TDs and an outside shot at a TD. I think that's worth a gamble in a lot of leagues. Greg and I are giving serious consideration to starting him (and Dayne) this week in WCOFF. Pretty sure neither one of us saw that coming this early in the season.

Brett is a strong dude.

Back to the Packers' RB situation, Jackson missed practice again while Morency practiced so it looks like it'll be the incredible trio of Grant, Wynn and Morency to face the Vikings this week.
