I know last week didn't turn out so well for some folks (I benched Turner for Pierre Thomas) but let's hope this week goes better for everyone.

I'm a guy who apparently has not learned his lesson as I'm benching Ronnie Brown (vs. Rams) in favor of Leon.

We get points for return yardage and Leon and the Jets have been unstoppable lately. I think the Broncos will score loads of points which will only help the return yards.

Shaun Hill over Cutler...

 

[Cabby]

Shaun Hill over Cutler...

I am in the same situation, still debating.AGonz over Colston

 

[AnonymousBob]

Shaun Hill over Cutler...

Shaun Hill has been very good as of late and the Jets D isn't anything to sneeze at.

 

[big_donkey]

Favre over Cutler

and

Chris Johnson over Forte

Happy Turkey Day everyone !!!!!!

Rosenfels over Cutler

Rosenfels over Cutler

What's your reasoning for this one?

 

[NFL-ons]

Going with Brees this wk with Trent Edwards and Rosenfells on my bench contrary to Dodds' cheatsheet recommendations.

I'm just not feelin' the Denv offense. Other than the explosion against a crappy Clev D, Cutler in particular has not been impressive. Sure, he's scored well above his ADP for the season thus far, but he looks to be regressing lately. This week, Royal has missed practice w/ a toe problem; missing a weapon in the midst of struggling ain't gonna help him. Jax has given up a plethora of big plays this year, and I think Sage will capitalize. Having said that, this isn't so much a pro-Sage play as it is a anti-Cutler play. I'm happy for what Cutler did earlier this season, but I already own (& have to start) Marshall; the Denv offense doesn't look like one to rely on so heavily. I'm guaranteed a playoff spot, but my QB situation doesn't look very good compared to a month or so ago. Cutler owners are in trouble.

 

[Trap Play]

Unfortunate Cutler owner here as well. My other option is Pennington, and, while he has a good match up, I am concerned about the loss of Camarillo and the fact that the Dolphins may just grind it out against a hapless Rams team. Cutler may not have a great match up, but he is going to have to throw.

 

[splitvizionz]

I'm toying with the idea of McNabb over Rivers but maybe I'm being too emotional because I am an Eagles fan and would love to see McNabb light it up tomorrow.

 

[Mozeta]

I'm either starting Flacco, Edwards, Garcia, or Garrard over Matt Cassel. I just can't believe Cassel is going to have a game that will justify his high ranking by FBG's this week against the number 1 pass defense in the league. (also #1 vs the rush). Plus, there is no way he goes off like he has for a third consecutive week. I just think Cassel is popular this week but will end up coming back to earth and is a sucker play. Throw in all the, I can't believe they disrespected me by not double teaming me, talk from Moss this week and I think he gets shut down as well.

I just need to decide which of those other chumps I mentioned to throw out there to give me the best chance of looking ballsy and genius instead of crazy and stupid.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

Lendale over Lynch and Grant.

 

[Buffaloes]

Thinking of going with Walter over Wayne or Marshall

 

[Mozeta]

Thinking of going with Walter over Wayne or Marshall

Wayne has a pretty good match up. Why would sit him?

 

[madd futher]

Lots of guys too far down on Cutler after ONE STINKING game. I've ridden him to have clinched the play-offs in 3 of my 4 leagues. Gonna dance with the guy who brung me the rest of the way.

Favre over Cutler? - Just 3 weeks ago, Favre was stinking it up. But I can understand that one.

Rosenfels over Cutler? - I can see some logic to it, but both QBs will be slinging their guns - I'll stay with Cutler, thanks.

Shaun Hill over Cutler? - You're smoking what? Don't pass any of that wacky tobaccy to me, please.

He's just has looked soooo bad the last 2 weeks. He also has 1 TD or less in 5 out of the last 8 weeks. He seems to be stuggling badly right now. The play calling has stunk as well. I dont like him on the road this week @ the Jets, but I do plan on playing him next week -vs- KC.I don't own Hill, but the guy starting him over Cutler prolly knows that Hill has 2 TD's in each of the last 3 weeks. I don't like him @ Buffalo this week though.

 

[perry147]

McNabb over Cassel.

 

[Dacomish]

Going Forte over Addai in PPR league (Barber is other starter). Most weeks it's a no-brainer, but with Forte going against the Vikes D and Addai having a favorable matchup is killing me. Already changed the lineup 3 times.....AAARRRGGGGHHH!

 

[a_rackowski]

Benching Ryan Grant, Deangelo Williams, for Lendale.

Another league benching CJ and Deangelo for Lendale.

How about LENDALE WHITE (over anybody) vs. Detroit: are 2-3 TD's out of the question?

I just benched Lynch for Lendale and CJ. I dont care who scores in that game as long as they run it in.

 

[BaBastage]

Slaton over Gore now that Slaton will get the carries with Ahman out of the picture. (Gore and Ricky Williams on my bench.)

Favre over Brees. I planned on this even before looking at Dodd's rankings, but I'm still shaking my head...

eta: Gore, not Chris Johnson on my bench - pre-coffee typo - and seeing how Johnson's ripping the lions apart... a good thing it was just a typo and not a roster move

 

[Ridgelake]

Thomas Jones and Barber while sitting Gore

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going with Brees this wk with Trent Edwards and Rosenfells on my bench contrary to Dodds' cheatsheet recommendations.

Looks like after a nice Turkey dinner, Dodds has seen the light too. I guess brees is not so risky a play now. Too funny how he makes these agressive changes later in the week with no concrete reasoning why. Glad my opponent this week follows the rankings religiously. He sat Westy !Edited to add - Thank goodness I learned my lesson when I benched Brown for sammy Morris when Brown went off for 4 tds!

 

[Lord Fantasy]

Benching Lynch and D. Williams in favor of Forte.

If weather is bad in Cleveland, will bench R. Wayne in favor of DAVONE BESS!

 

[Stealthycat]

Toomer or Hixon as a WR 2/3

 

[Topes]

Pennington over Jason Campbell & Shaun Hill
