To handcuff or not to handcuff (1 Viewer)

[Starkers]

What is everyone's opinion of handcuffing your studs.  I currently have Ekeler on the teams I have Gordon but I am wondering if I should also backup Mixon.  Unfortunately I have them both on 2 of my teams so that would give me an additional unusable spot.

What does everyone think?  Thanks.

If the handcuff is worth playing if he was the guy then it is worth it.  If he is not then I wouldn't do it. 

Ekeler has shown he can carry the load if Gordon is out so he would be worthwhile.  I don't really think Walton would do much if Mixon went down so having him really doesn't do much for me.

Certain ones are good, others are not. Ekelar has stand alone value so he is a great handcuff, I see no reason to back up Mixon with an injured Gio or a substantially worse guy in Walton. If you have roster room I would add other players handcuffs if they aren't owned, i.e. Spencer Ware or Malcolm Brown as they could turn into league winners if they get called into primary action.
