Knowing how Ben did, do you wish you had started him? He had an awesome match-up, and it seems a little known fact but he has the 3rd most TD passes in the NFL. Very gutsy call on your part, i hope it works out for you. I feel very good with Ben's points this week.

Anyone think the CLE defense could be a sneaky play against a disinterested Bengals squad?
They sound motivated to me
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer gave the Browns more reason to be wary of the matchup Sunday in Paul Brown Stadium when he vowed Wednesday, ''We're going to come out gunning.'' 
The one skill position player I'd be most concerned about if the wind is at 25 mph or higher is Chris Henry. The Bengals have curiously reduced him to little more than a downfield threat. They aren't using him the way they have in the past at all. In last week's game he got four targets and all of them were bombs. That's it. That type of role does not lend itself to strong production in my opinion should the winds be high. So if that's the case tomorrow I think Henry goes from a nice sleeper pick to being someone who should be on your bench.Given how putrid he's been the last three games, I'd be concerned about Kellen Winslow even if it was 80 and sunny, but that's another issue entirely.
With the way Palmer has beein playing, it's going to be a big day for my man Bodden.
BIG changes though will be on tap for Sunday as much colder and windier weather move in. We will become rainy overnight as a cold front approaches the region. The chance for rain for late tonight and Sunday morning will be 100%, with some heavy rain in areas. After the morning rain, the cold front will come in, temperatures will fall quickly during the afternoon and some of the rain could end as a few snow showers. The most we could see in areas would be a dusting or so by Sunday night. The big weather story though will be the wind and wind chills. Winds will gust up to 45 mph at times giving us wind chills well into the 20s. Holiday decorations and trash cans could be knocked around in the strong winds! Expect a chilly, windy game for the Bengals vs. Browns.
If true I'll say again this should remove Chris Henry from any fantasy consideration given how he's being reduced to a deep threat only in the Bengals' passing game of late.
Watson might do well in ppr leagues.
Thanks for the TRULY local info! Looks like significant wind will all but eliminate downfield passing. Any chance it gets cold enough to get snow at gametime? Keep us informed. Thanks!
It's early though. I'd rather have strong gusts then a constant swirling wind anyway.What's the deal with the wind and how cincy's field is situated? I think someone on here earlier said that it shielded some of the winds that may come off the river?

Ditto...right now I put Portis back in just because I am unsure about Watson. Though, IMO, Watson at worst will get some points in the passing game...whereas my other RBs have worse downsides (Kolby, KJ, Portis)
I think the bad weather makes watson a better play than usual. The wind isnt going to affect the little dump off passes that he gets.
Its not the weather Im worried about...its the comments when asked if Watson would get the start/carries and Marvin responded "we'll see". Lots of rumors about Dorsey getting more action.
What confusion? Have there been any reports which suggest it will be Dorsey logging the majority of the touches today and not Watson? Can someone provide a link? No BS but I haven't seen that anywhere. Watson is the backup; he's started when Rudi's been out. Dorsey has gotten a few touches here and there and will likely continue in that role but I see nothing to suggest he's going to supplant Watson as the primary RB today. Watson has done well in that role and could be an absolute monster today - especially in PPR leagues. If I was a Watson owner I would be drooling over this matchup with Rudi out. Rudi's best game of the season came in Week 2 against the Browns when he went over 100 yards rushing and scored on a reception. This is an incredibly good matchup for the Bengals' running game today in my opinion - and if the weather plays a strong role like it appears it might that only enhances Watson's potential.
Besides the "We'll see" quote what other rumors are there about Dorsey? I'm seriously wondering.
People have listed several places including a Bengal chatroom.That little quote did set off some rumors.That is all that I stated.
Link to that? I'd like to check it out.
It has been mentioned in at least one other thread here...sorry, I don't have it bookmarked and I don't feel like searching for it...just requesting if anyone has any additional info.
seriously?
Good call.With the way Palmer has beein playing, it's going to be a big day for my man Bodden.
