BenJarvus Green-Ellis (1 Viewer)

Pats fan here desperate with bye week issues.

I'm tempted to pick up the law firm BJGE and start him over Santana Moss.

Reasons:

1. TB Matchup -- Awful against the run. I have to imagine that Green-Ellis gets garbage time touches regardless.

2. L. Maroney -- I'm not sure he's to be trusted. If he dances in the hole, I could see Bill B yank him.

3. Field Conditions -- The field in london is historically cruddy. It may not be the best field for a Maroney. Meanwhile, BJGE is a straight ahead runner.

4. Washington Matchup / QB -- Don't like Moss' potential against Philly, with maybe Todd Collins throwing, and someone new calling the plays.

Very, very tempted to roll the dice here.

I would not be surprised to see the following line in PPR league:

18 carries, 82 yards, 1 TD, 2 rec, 11 yards = 17 pts.

Not sure Moss can acheive that this week.

Other guys that are available:

* P. Garcon

* Mike Wallace

* K. Burton

Thoughts?

This is more of an Assistnat Coach Forum thread, but BJGE is probably a decent play with all the bye weeks and the Bucs not being great against the run. Maroney has struggled to be consistently productive. BJGE is probably a sneaky play, but I don't see him getting 18 carries. More likely 8, maybe 10, with a goal line plunge.

I probably agree that Moss may not get 17 points . . . but I don't think BJGE will either.
