I am starting Ben Obomanu over... (1 Viewer)

I have both Obomanu and BMW.

Obo filled in very nicely off the waiver wire to get me the win last week. Given Seattle's shaky defense, is is safe to start both if BMW comes back next week?

Well, in my opinion last week was the perfect scenario for you to start Obomanu. He has a decent floor even when MW plays if you look at his last 3 or 4 games. So with MW out he was a lock for over producing as your last receiver or flex spot.

I think he could counted on to get you around 5 to 8 points a game non PPR each week with luck getting a TD or huge play sometimes.

I would start him if you have injuries or like to gamble with your last flex spot. He will get you some points as opposed to an egg. And.... like we saw last week, he is one lucky play from getting you a big play.

I prefer to gamble with guys like this over poor RB's or timeshare backs. I'd rather have the upside and possible explosion from my last flex spot.

But, again I wouldn't expect what you saw last week this week. I am starting him this week over Steve Smith though.
