Emmanuel Sanders--anyone benching him with the latest news? (1 Viewer)

[FGITLOTR]

Just saw that Sanders was sent home from practice with flu-like symptoms yesterday. Due to the Denver offense running the ball more and him probably not being 100% for tomorrow night, is anyone else contemplating benching him? I have Sanders, Stills and Jeffrey. I can't believe I'm writing this, but Stills is the only one Zi feel good about. With Clausen at QB, it's hard to trust Alshon.

If you are in the same predicament, post your thoughts on Sanders.

I am going to monitor and may put in Stills.

I have Manning and Sanders. Will likely bench Sanders for Gordon to hedge my bets. I can't take the risk that Sanders doesn't play or is limited. If he does play and plays well at least Manning will benefit. I just have no faith in Gordon though.

I may have, but with Hilton most likely not playing, Edelman out, I am forced to keep him in with Roddy/J.Matthews. Here's hoping he can put up some points on MNF.(Also benching Peyton for first time in favor of Brady)

Not sure what new info we will get by the time games start today

Dropped him last night in my 10 team 4 keeper league, but my starters will be Evans, Jeffery, and OBJ.

When do they take flight?

 

[FGITLOTR]

That was my next question. Can't imagine they bring him if he's reay sick and coil possibly put his teammates at risk

He'll travel on a separate flight. Playing will depend on the severity of the flu bug he has,he could be fine in 24 hours...or not.

I'm probably gonna play it safe and bench him. Too big of risk in my championship game to put him in.

i dropped my 2 back up qbs.. (players are locked anyway for the week once they are dropped) and picked up latimer and caldwell, hopefully he is fine for tomorrow but didnt really like any other options. and really dont even like this as an option

 

[frigid5]

I'm starting Kelvin Benjamin over him. On paper I should destroy my opponent so why take the risk that Sanders is ineffective.

Nobody has ever sat with the flu have they?

runs the risk of being run down and dehydrated. could start, but could end up sitting during the game.

 

[32 Counter Pass]

Ah nuts! I dominated my league to get to this point, and now have a valuable piece that may not play. Sigh... Going with L. Murray over him and hoping for the best. Dang it!!

I'm strongly considering replacing Sanders with Moncrief if Hilton doesn't play. If I leave Sanders in and he doesn't play, the only player I have in Tomorrow's game that I could sub in is Welker.

 

[Reegus]

Hmm start boom over him?

 

[FUBAR]

I think I'll start him over bailey.

But I can switch him out for Barth if needed. I need his upside.

Well, went against my instincts and benched Peyton for Brady, may cost me a title if Peyton has a great game since Brady sucked.

I still think Sanders will play, flu like symptoms yesterday and today, plenty of fluids should do the job.
