DOWN to the wire, legit No. 1 running backs are questionable for Week 8. Will Brian Westbrook, Steven Jackson, Clinton Portis and Joseph Addai play?

Chances are Westbrook and Portis will. Jackson will probably start, too. But Addai, if you have him, don't start. Even if he does play on Monday night, he is going against the Titans defense.

Now don't start Santanio Holmes, either. He was deactivated on Saturday night because of an arrest.

Quick fix

"The I have no options and five minutes to pick a player" pull of the week:

Leon Washington, Jets running back vs. Chiefs: Kansas City's run defense, do your best Charles Barkley voice, is terrrrrrribbbbble. Thomas Jones will get the bulk of carries, but Washington could get 10 to 15 touches.

Can of corn

Keep an eye on how the Dolphins continue to use running back Patrick Cobbs. If not for fantasy's sake, then a flashback to the 90s.

For two games, at least, Cobbs is playing like former Cardinals fullback Larry Centers.

Centers once caught 101 passes out of the backfield and rushed for a mere 254 yards in the same season.

Cobbs had eight catches for more than 200 yards and two touchdowns in two games. Ohhh and he had three rushing yards, too.

Now if you truly need Cobbs, you should be preparing for your fantasy basketball draft. The season's over.
