Are you benching FWP this week (1 Viewer)

[hugekissfan]

I'm still mulling it, but I'm thinking of benching FPW for MJD and ADP. All three sound like mediocre options this week, but I need two. A MNF showcase game at home smells juicy though, Heinz will be jacked. It's either one of those games where he blows up or get 65 yards. This is a move that is just tough to nail.

I have MJD,FWP and ADP also but I think the play is to sit MJD. Plus then you get a little "Monday Night sweat".

I am contemplating sitting FWP this week - he typically struggles against Baltimore and I have Rudi Johnson as an option sitting on my bench.What are other FWP owners doing this week?

FWIW I think you'll regret itPittsburgh is a hard nosed team and generally those types bang heads well with tough run Ds. I imagine you could get a TD out of him to cover any average loss in yardage.Rudi hasn't earned a start IMO and will be proving that this week, for next week.FWIW

At home, on Monday night... no way he sits (and I have Maroney and Henry on my main team). I also don't think the Ravens are any good on the offensive side so Pitt. will have the ball a lot. How could I live with myself if I sit FWP alongside LT? Well, just fine but I don't get overly wrapped up in matchups when it comes to certain FF players.

I am still suffering from my Superbowl loss when he popped 22 yards last year. I have him in for now...but with more of a place-holder at this point. In one league it will be a yes...I have Jacobs on a bye and Selvin Young on the bench (I had FWP out and Young in until it was announced that Henry was healthy enough to play).

In my other 2 leagues where I have him; it gets a little more cloudy...

- Henry/Young on the bench

- Henry/K Jones on the bench

I have had FWP on my teams for the last 3 years....Baltimore owns him.....

I want to better understand Henry's rib situation at this point; split time with Young would kill me. (based solely on Denver's way of protecting Henry's physical condition)

I will have my fingers crossed for FWP this week....sooner or later he has got to have a good game against them....

I am sitting FWP and starting Portis and K Jones...

Wow huge thing missing here by Sharks: Ravens DL/DE Trevor Pryce returns after being out since week 2 with a broken wrist. This is huge for the Ravens. Knock down the running game another notch. This is the guy that the Ravens expected to replace much of what Adalius Thomas brought last year. When Baltimore lost Pryce, they lost more than a pass rusher, they lost a run stopper.

I think FWP goes for 80 total, Poop for 60 total and a TD. Pitt wins this game going away but it aint gonna be with the running game.

 

[Krewe]

Start two backs, and I have ADP, Westbrook and FWP. One has to sit, right now its FWP.

Do I feel confident about it? Nope. Do I like having real good options while my opponent is still trying to scrounge to replace Sammy Morris?

duh

KJ over FWP

 

[DoGdr]

I am starting him over Driver and Fitzgerald (1 rb-LT; 3 WR Housh, Evans, Marshall; 1 Flex-FWP) in td heavy league. My Back-up Jacobs is on bye so it wasn't a real decision for me. I am not thrilled with the matchup the Ravens always seem to play Steelers tough

 

[jamil]

hes sitting in one league in favor of westbrook and KJ

 

[Bucks]

Nice dilemma this week. Going with KJ and ADP over FWP

I've got the same dilemma. I'm leaning towards FWP over ADP.

 

[MOAT]

I've got KJ, MJD, and FWP in a TD heavy league. I'm starting KJ and MJD since I think they have a better chance at multiple TDs.

Me too. And I'm also going with FWP and KJ. Of couse, I have 25 minutes to change my mind...again.

 

[dabigguy44]

Do I have a choice??

 

[Howie]

I would never bench FWP regardless of who he was playing.

What if you had Westbrook and Peterson? I'm benching Willie for Peterson today. We will see if the move pays off...

 

[cjack]

Starting him along with ADP. Only other options are Jordan and DeAngelo Williams, so FWP is the obvious play.

 

[dabigguy44]

[kilrb]

Can't bench him. Gut feeling. I could sub fargus or Faulk but just can't do it.

 

[Das Boot]

I'd only bench FWP if you have 2 very strong options in his place, which fortunately I do: Lynch and KJ

I think FWP has a decent week, maybe 70-80 yards, maybe even 100.

The TDs for FWP will be the tipping point, I just consider it more likely Pitt scores thru the air this week and the game is relatively low scoring, with several FGs

Who knows which way a 1st and Goal inside the 10 goes... FWP or TE?

Another factor to consider in regards to FWP this week: http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...howtopic=361865

Benching Parker for KJ turned out to be the right move.

(barely)

 

[Emerson Biggens]

benching Parker for anyone (even Dayne as someone did) was a good call. What a pathetic display tonight was.

Yeah, well Travis Henry / Selvin Young wasn't any better and Jacobs is on bye. So..................

 

[sho nuff]

Who was it that said it was crazy to bench FWP for Portis?
