I'm starting Antone Smith over __________ (1 Viewer)

this guy is lightning in a bottle. He hasn't had enough touches to make fantasy owners feel comfortable but all he does is produce with the little touches he gets.

Now, this week mike smith "concedes" that they need to get smith more involved and he's earned it.

So, who is buying into this? Who are you starting smith over?

Is he a better flex start than a guy like Vereen who is lightly used and up against a great run d? Or justin hunter who despite a great matchup has whitehurst throwing him the ball.

How about moreno, coming off the injury?

Let's hear it guys. Who are you benching for smith today?

I'm starting him due to bye weeks. I'd have never thought that by week five I'd be starting Andre Williams and Antone Smith. Neither was on my radar at all.

 
I started him over hunter. Was sweating until that TD. This kid is performing like a rb2 on 5 touches per game. Insane.

 
I give major props to those who started him, especially out of choice as opposed to need. His streak has been unbelievable, more so off of such limited touches.

Even with this performance -- he's outperformed Shady, Lacy, and Gore in my league -- he's still a giant enigma and hard for me to trust starting in a flex over someone with a much higher floor.

You can't leave him on the wire, yet he's hard to start. Was obvious to Mike Smith he needed to give Antone more touches, but he didn't exactly follow through on that notion this past week. Statistically he has to put up a game where he doesn't score or break a run/catch for 40+ -- you don't want him in your lineup when you do, but it's hard to watch him score on your bench.

Debating starting him over Pierre Thomas this weekend, but having a hard time convincing myself to pull that trigger.
