I feel the same way. I have Warrick Dunn on my bench for the same reason. No way do I bench Gore in a fantasy playoff game unless he's hurt or the matchup is awful.
I have Gore in 2 leagues and will start him in the league I play in this week. I have a first round bye in my other but probably would have thought about Hillis over Gore if I had to play this week. I don't like the receptions Gore is missing out on lately. But I have gone this far with him and will keep in the starting lineup. For what it's worth, Denver was running against a lot of nickel looks because a lot of their run plays were coming out of 3 wr, 1 rb sets. that may have made it easier for Hillis to find seams in the defense.
I agree with all of that. I just couldn't bench one of my best players because of a mediocre matchup.
As a biased fan who is 1) Starting Gore and 2) going against Gore...I think he'll show up and register some points but, not much.... Not that I have great options but, I'm not looking to sit my #1 pick at this point. Denver opened up the run with a great passing attack and the Jets for better or worse just stunk it up in the rain, while as a fan or anyone associated with the team it's not an excuse - for fantasy purposes and to judge a defense, I'd say the conditions weren't what you would see in SF and played a part last week. - I think they come back this week pretty pissed off about what Hillis did being the 1st 100 yard rusher all year and force SF to throw.
WARNING: Otis has a major man-crush on Gore.
Correktid for akkurasee.
Welcome to the biggest mistake of your life.**Yes, that includes the chubby chick from freshman year.
Good Price is Right shtick here.
Who's LBJ? Larry Johnson?
Light Blue Jesus or CJ3 or old fashioned Chris Johnson.
Interesting. That's a good group of RBs. I could see benching Gore there.
Fixed.
I have the same debate and agonizing it as well. I could start either Gore or White or TO in the flex spot. I think LenDale will get a lot of garbage yards like last week, but it's too risky (I am already starting CJ). I think you have to roll with your studs and Gore should be fine. He knows he's had 2 horrible weeks in a row and he'll surprise us this weekend. My main concern is the lack of receiving yards in the last 4 games!The Gore v. Jets debate is killing me.Hillis had a fine game against the Jets, but I'm not sure how much that had to do with Cutler tearing it up and making the Jets back off to respect the pass. For comparison, the Jets destroyed the Titans running game, and Gore really hasn't done much of anything lately other than against the putird Rams where he was done by halftime.I have other viable options CJ3/LenDale/Bush/P Thomas, but in the end I think I will probably pair Gore with CJ3. I think that Gore's floor this week is 80 total yards, and we all know he has significant upside potential.The Jets lost @ Oakland this year, so I'm tempted to believe this game could very well be close keeping Gore actively invovled throughout.Or maybe I'll just chicken out on Sunday morning and use the smash and dash combo vs. Cleveland.
