McGahee has quit on this season. He basically said so a couple weeks ago when he said something to the effect of getting 1,000 yards was all that mattered at this point. He hasn't done a thing in almost a month and a half.

Last 5 McGahee games: 66 yards, 39, 53, 81, 3. Yes, 3. He has 0 TDs in those 5 games and his long run is 13 yards. Even though the weather in Buffalo is crappy tonight, I still think the Bills will be throwing a lot since Denver should have a healthy lead by the start of the 2nd half.

I'm not starting Barber just because you never know how many carries he'll get.

I go with Duckett. He's not the #1 option, but he's the most likely to score a touchdown. Plus, he's harder to tackle than Dunn or Vick from a size standpoint. With the starting safties out for the Bears they're going to have trouble bringing the big guy down. I think Duckett will get more carries than normal.
