Pennington >>>> Clemens.(In before "At least Clemens can throw the deep ball!")

That said, they talked me into it as well. No time to do much research this week so i followed their rankings. I did raise my eyebrow a bit when I saw this, but figured they knew what they were talking about.Oh well........ 
I won't blame the rankings. I believed he had the potential for great things today, Dallas just put too much pressure on the QB and the QB made some bad throws.
I sat Calvin Johnson for him. On the bright side, I haven't dumped Calvin yet. I keep hoping he'll bloom (consistently).

Thankfully I had enough of a gut feeling to take him out this morning.

I'm glad I am not alone here. I relied heavily on the cheatsheets this week because I did not have time to do my own prep work like I usually do. I benched Calvin Johnson for Cotchery in one league and Brandon Marshall for Cotchery in another league. Cotchery was really high up there, especially in PPR leagues. But hey, those are the breaks. Hopefully the rest of my team will make up for it.
On the other hand, I had to pick four out of Westbrook, MoJo, Kevin Jones, Hackett, TJ Housh, and Jennings. Guess which two I didn't pick? Yup, Jones and Jennings. Had I followed the cheatsheets, I would have started Westy, Hackett, Housh, and Jennings. So that was my bad. It goes both ways.

I cut him last night for Javon Walker. Small rosters and Walker has more FF playoff potential that Cotch.Umm......Why?I cut him a few days ago
I had just traded for him a couple weeks ago. The hype was that Crotchery was going to be the man with Clemens in there. Clemens hasnt shown me much of anything. Dallas has been giving up a ton of yards recieving. That and the Cheatsheets turned my descision to start him. Also the Thankgiving guys I had had earlier.. Jennings and Hanson kicked butt...so I thought there was some Thanksgiving Magic going for me.Really wish I would have kept Marshall in.I cut him last night for Javon Walker.

Cotchery's upside has definitely been hampered by Clemens, who seems to be regressing rather than progressing - although I blame the OL as much as anything. As a young QB just getting his feet wet, he (even more so than Chad) needs a solid line to help, which clearly he's not getting.

I agonized over whether or not to start Cotcherry. I will not bore you all with details but I had to play 5 out of 6 and I did end up benching him, which is yet to be seen, but was probably the right call. Cotch was consistently decent last year and this year up until Clemens took over. The stars were aligned for him to have a huge game yesterday, and it didn't happen. Of course I didn't want him to explode while on my bench, but now I just don't know if I can start him with confidence anymore this year.
I wish I had traded him away two weeks ago
instead of Galloway.

Not that my HORRIBLE WR group would have allowed me to really start anybody else, but I had to watch Cotchery stink it up yesterday too.
He was targetted more yesterday then last week which was a good sign, but that doesn't make up for the horrible numbers.
Did you know that this is the second week in a row that a pass intended for Cotchery has been intercepted?
Week 11:
(8:02) 11-K.Clemens pass deep left intended for 89-J.Cotchery INTERCEPTED by 26-D.Townsend at PIT 32. 26-D.Townsend ran ob at NYJ 45 for 23 yards (60-D.Ferguson).
Week 12:
(6:27) (Shotgun) 11-K.Clemens pass short left intended for 89-J.Cotchery INTERCEPTED by 41-T.Newman at 50. 41-T.Newman for 50 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

I never blame others for who I start. I use the rankings as a guide to see where others rank players, but in the end it's my call. The only time I ever let a rankings fully determine who I start is when I'm doing a coin flip on two players.

Clemens is horrible... I couldnt watch that game... I still do not understand why everyone was calling to bench pennington. Pennington has not played that poorly and I believe his ankle is still hurting him..
I have Cotch and sat him.. Probably will the rest of the season unless they put Pennington back in or Clemens starts to throw the ball better (which sucks considering how well cotch played last season and the potential with Coles being out..)

sign me up for the club... with all the thanksgiving rush, i didn't have time to research... went with FBG's recommendation (especially since both dodds and bloom had cotchery high) and started him over kolby smith.
tampa buc, that's some interesting analysis... would be interesting to do a full version of it to see what players FBG is consistently high on:

Hi Ready 5. Since week 1, I take the players on my 5 teams and make a note on each for both Dodds and Blooms projections. Sure they are going to miss some (R. Williams to high and R. Grant to low this week) but I'm just looking for a general consensus and still make my own decisions. On one team, Cotchery has just been a thorn in my side and stands out because I lost both AD and LJ so I have been forced to play him as a flex. Once AD comes back, old "Croch" will get splinters in his butt sitting my bench since Wayne and Edwards will be my starters. With that said, what else should we have expected.
Jets - Bad Team
Clemens - Rookie QB
Coles - Out (would have taken some pressure off him)
Dallas - Pretty good D
Equals - Bad results
Good luck with you team.

The last two games have been disappointing for sure, but Cotchery was a top 20 WR through week 10, I see no reason to cut bait unless you have extremely small rosters. Benching him is the move until Clemmons comes around or a very favorable match up is at hand.
For those that are playoff bound there are still 4 weeks to go, and the Jets have some very nice passing match ups coming up including @Miami, home to Cleveland and @Tennessee.
