Patience with J. Pepeprs? (1 Viewer)

[tommyk7]

I got him very late in my draft hoping on a new team he would be re-energized and wreaking havoc....1st two games he does have a sack but only 1 solo.....This Monday I'm going to bench him vs. Green Bay and after that....maybe ship him out....thoughts?

This is not the week to bench him. Aaron Rodgers gets sacked a ton. Start him with confidence this week. I ahve had Peppers for several years and his production is not very consistent week to week.

I have no idea how anyone can say Rodgers gets sacked a ton. Sure, he did the first half of 09 when the O-line was a mess, but not now. Rodgers was sacked exactly zero times last week. Granted that was against the Bills. In week 1 with the team that probably blitzes the most in the NFL (Philly), Rodgers was sacked 3 times. If I had to put an over under on Chicago sacks it would be 1 1/2 this week. I'd probably bet the under. With Briggs or Urlacher getting the sack. Chicago's D-line didn't do much in Dallas last week, and I expect that to continue. I love Peppers talent, but the roller coaster ride is a killer for fantasy owners. He has the talent to go off for 3 sacks in any given week, but your better off playing the lottery than picking the week. If your a fantasy owner that likes consistency, then look elsewhere. If you like to swing for the fences with little regard to the possibility of a goose egg, then Peppers is your guy.

One guarantee with Peppers: You bench him, he blows up. Trust me, I know...

That's just how DL are. They will have some 0-fers.

Jared Allen went through a month last year when he had 3 games were he had 2 total tackles.

There's a reason the Panthers did not sign him to a big new deal, deciding instead to franshise him(i.e. make him work for the $) the last 2 seasons.

Now that Peppers has gotten his big multi-year payday, he will go the way of "Haynesworthesque" work ethic and production.

That's just the kinda guy he is.

Same boat here. Dockett is on our waiver wire and is playing oakland but I just know the minute I bench Peppers (especially on a monday night) he will explode!!!

Peppers is an odd cat, and I can't say he's never taken a play off, but the Haynesworth comparison don't ring true to me.Congrats on trying to use 117 Scrabble Tiles for one word though.
