Anyone benching Westbrook (1 Viewer)

[Spartans346]

I'm considering benching Westbrook due to his injury. But then again he tends to blow up when he's in this situation.

I do have Portis and Forte as well.

I'm just wondering if other people are wondering the same thing.

 

[Bri]

two good teams and two good Ds but they generally do pretty well against each other in years past. I'd be OK with Westy or Portis

Choosing between Fred Jackson/Chester Taylor/Ray Rice and Westbrook ...I am worried, but will still likely go Westbrook.

Westy is playing. This is a big game. Play your studs in big games.

He is in all my lineups I own him in. (3)

Now I'm stuck between Portis and Forte.Off the the assistant coach forum I go

 

[McBokonon]

I have Slaton and Turner in over him right now, may take out Turner but I'm a-feared.

Portis all day. The Lions always give the Bears fits at Detroit. Just my gut feeling.

Wow nice problems to have. I think Slaton will blow up the Indy Defense for some great PPR points today. Turner is one of the best in the league right now. Tough call.

Taylor is the only option listed above that would give me a 2nd thought, but I'd prolly still roll Westy. I'm starting Flash and Big Jon Stud over Westy this week, but I've been back and forth several times.

Logic says that they wouldn't risk him this early in the season if he wasn't ready, but I'm sure they'd like to avoid giving him 25 touches if they can.

I think the safer plan is to go with another guy if you're lucky enough to have 3 good backs like some of the people in this thread. I'm pretty much forced to play him if I don't want to roll with something like Selvin Young and his 5-10 carries.

I waffling between Bush and Westbrook, to go along with Forte. Will likely go with Bush, and hope the receiving yards are there...

 

[lebowski]

Starting Westy over Chris Johnson, though I don't feel good about it.

Most people say Forte. He's ranked very high

Going with MM over westy, going with my gut.

Does that acronym now pass for MeWelde Moore - geez, I had to look it up. Nice move slick.

You'd think, but I have acids eating a hole in my stomach right now.

 

[RenegadeGM]

might be crazy but I'm playing him over Brandon Jacobs

getting frustrated seeing too much Ward and Bradshaw in the second half of games

The tone and reason for my comment had more to do with the goofy MM abbreviation than the call, though I wouldn't have made the call - it's not wretched.

4 pts already

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Yes, you're crazy. He's hands down the best RB in the league and it's not even close. And you want to bench him against a banged up D? Okay.

 

[Moe Green]

Make it 11

 

[GroveDiesel]

Hope you guys all started him.

Although now he has his pads off and was doing something to his chest...

 

[Spartans346]

For the record I did start him.

I know you were all concern

 

[GroveDiesel]

Looked like the trainers were working on his chest somehow. Like maybe a strain or cramp or something that the trainers were helping him work out. Should be back no problem.

This line of thinking leads me to believe you aren't watching the games. Ward and Bradshaw have been getting looks because the Gmen have been blowing teams out. There's no reason to risk your star at that point. Jacobs is a must start every week.

so is Westbrook when he's in there thoughWestbrook was OK, Jacobs was better. Oh well.
