I think you might have to go with White and Owens. I thought Marshall and Royal we're going to blow up on the Raiders last week....but the Raider secondary actually held their own.
Your RB situation is a tough one. This was Forte's stat line against the Vikings in Week 7:
20 attempts for 56 yards and 1 TD. 2.8 ypc average
2 receptions for 17 yards
This was Jones-Drew's stat line against the Texans in Week 4:
7 attempts for 32 yards and 0 TDs. 4.6 ypc average
2 receptions for 17 yards
I think at this point that it's pretty much a toss up. Forte is a work horse who is something like 3rd in the league with percentage of the team's workload. Jones-Drew still splits carries with Taylor but does have the chance to break it for a big gain. So considering that Jones-Drew just played Minnesota and only ran 3 times for 4 yards. I'd say go with Jones-Drew against Houston.
