I've adhered to the fantasy cliche of never benching fantasy studs regardless of match up for the last time.
I had Lee Evans in my utility spot at the beginning of the week in favor of Willie Parker, but after listening to fantasy shows and forums such as these, I felt as if I had been talked back into reason by sticking with my stud.
That decision cost my my championship. Of course, this was just one circumstance, and it could have gone either way, and maybe next time it will.
But, NEVER let anyone tell you to "NEVER sit your fantasy studs" (there maybe be one or two guys a year that I would never consider benching. But that's it.)
It's now official. "Never benching your studs." and "going with the guys that got you here" are Fantasy Myths.

That might be your problem.
That might be your problem.
FWP is a great RB2, not an always start stud. Benched him twice this year for a better matchup and came out on top (this week for MJD). Perhaps your confusion comes from having different definitions of stud than others.
That might be your problem.
also...this is the 2nd year ain a row w/ smith having zero production in the SB week. He was kicked out in the 1st quarter for bumping the ref last year.
this should say it all. for those haters out there, FWP is a stud. You know why so many guys are replying to this post? because they got him late 2nd/early 3rd round which is much later than he should of been taken and made either the right or wrong decision with him this week. I HAVE YET TO SEE A POST ALL SEASON LONG SAYING THEY DRAFTED FWP TOO EARLY AND IT WAS THE WRONG CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!anyone who denies he isn't a stud just has sour grapes. I agree with the statement 'always start you studs' to a degree, but the disclaimers are #1)who are they playing..and #2)what have they done latelyI would consider FWP a stud, but I wouldn't consider him a must start. There is difference and ppl have touched on it in here. LT, LJ, and Manning are pretty much must starts (w/o listing IDP's), outside of that, I think it gets questionable. If there's any D's you consider sitting studs against this yr, I say its the Bears, Ravens, and Chargers and ends right there. If you have no decent other options, you start your stud vs. these teams. If not, may god be with you. I had FWP in 2 leagues that I was still active in this week, sat him in both. I had Betts and MJD though, which to me were obvious starts. Unless you had Dayne or someone, I doubt you really got that burnt by starting FWP unless it was a stupid playYou wanna blame someone, blame yourself, you shoulda saw this coming. I can't think of any RB who posted a great game VS. BALT this season off the top of my head. The best you gotta even be considering is 80 yds and a TD somehow.This is just like #85 not doing jack against Champ Bailey this week..Its one of those moves you gotta make no matter how hard it is because it is the right move while considering the situation.
