Exploit/Avoid Week 1 (1 Viewer)

With Crabtree questionable and a later game, along with fewer late games than usual; do you bench Crabtree if you have other solid options?

Not to make this a WDIS, but I'm leaning towards benching Crabtree for Wright or Kelce at flex because of his status and having no options if he's a late scratch. But that matchup vs. Dallas is too nice to take lightly.
Great question. My answer is why not? Let's assume others drafted a similar team as you FUB, what kind of options we talking here?
Wright or kelce.

I could start Wright and his 94 catches from a year ago over Crabtree, but that's only if Crabtree is a no go. I didn't know he was nursing an injury that might impact him even starting today.

 
My gut tells me Hurns will have a huge today with Cecil out and the Jaguars probably down and having to pass a ton. The safe bet is to go with the higher draft pick, Lee. But my gut tells me that the guy who knows the offense better and had a better preseason will be the better player today. Am I starting Hurns? No. I have too many other good players, but my gut tells me he has at least 7 for 70 and 1 TD.

I think Mike Brown has talent and could be one of those week 1 wonders that busts out only to fade into oblivion.

Hurns starting over Brown according to Rotoworld.

Well, I wish I had trusted my gut and started him over Toby Gerhart in the flex spot. Hurns is officially for real.

Frisman Hurns.

 
MOP,

You always struck me as a realistic Miami fan. I feel like I'm one too. I hope you're right, but I think you're crazy. Ain't no way we're beating the Pats with this dysfunctional team.
No offense, mop, but I stopped reading when I saw Miami over New England.
Your very delusional in regards to the AFC East.

Miami beats New England and Buffalo loses by 31.

:homer:

This is always a thread to exploit, glad you're back.

Miami is going to get killed today though.
LOL!

MOP wins the first round.
