Should I start Marion Barber or Pierre Thomas?

I'm starting 3 RB's and 2 WR's this week in my ESPN league. My two firm starters at RB are DeAngelo Williams and Cedric Benson. Should I start Marion Barber or Pierre Thomas as my 3rd? Thanks.Should I start Marion Barber or Pierre Thomas?
I would say go with Barber as the match up with him this week is better then Thomas' but Barber is hurt. Strained quad and left fractured thumb (wont be running much on toward the left side of the field). He will play but I am thinking that fracture thumb is going to affect the number of time he receives the ball. Expect choice to get a large quanity of the carries.





Pick Thomas.......Miami D is tough but so was the Gaints last week and he did very well. No TD but ran the ball well.Should I start Marion Barber or Pierre Thomas?
Personally I would start Pierre Thomas instead of Marion Barber. Because Pierre Thomas is averaging 71.0 yards a game and 5.9 yards a carry and Marion Barber is averaging 74.3 yards a game but only 5.1 yards a carry. So personally Pierre Thomas but its your choice.
Marion is hurt but he is supposed to play and I think he would get more touches than Pierre so I would start Barber unless his injury status changes.
