I feel for you. Due to injuries I may have to start Ben Tate as my flex. Just roll that name around in your mind for a bit. Ben Tate . . . Ben Tate.
First of all, your post is a blatant WDIS and isn't even close to being on topic. Second of all, you're considering benching the 3rd best RB this year for Reggie Bush. Let me show you the door.
I love the guy but I have no confidence anymore either. If he couldn't shred the Bucs' horrible pass defense I'm wondering if all hope is lost at this point. If I had someone like Heath Miller as my TE2 I'd probably be starting him over Graham this week. Sounds insane but the last month has been absolutely brutal and I'm not seeing any positive signs with Graham right now.
He doesn't have a good matchup this week facing Cromartie. The goose egg this past weekend doesn't instill confidence either. I'm rolling w/ Cecil Shorts.
The guy I'm playing has Charles and still won last week. He also has Eli and I would have preferred that awful game have come a week later.For me, I'd sure like to see Gronkowski back on the field.
I think that Detroit is cooked, so I don't think that Ryan is that much of a concern. And yes, Saturday is much better than Thursday. I was glad to see Ryan put up a nice game last week, though. I will admit that before that, I was a bit concerned.
At least Dez and TRich keep scoring TDs.
Against the Colts rush defense?Anybody benching Charles is crazy.
Yeah. His coaching staff is dumb and the rest of the offense can't do anything. If you have an option like Demarco Murray against the Saints it has to be considered.
I'm in a Start-2 QB league and doing this same thing.
This too. As a Pats homer I've started him all season. Great matchup this week, but you know BB isn't happy at all with his fumbles the last 2 weeks. I'm starting Moreno over him, can't afford another dismal performance or a possible benching if he fumbles again. Plus I think we might see Bolden again this week.
Benching him for Dez. I guess it really comes down to the options you may have.
If the Falcons win they clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC. I doubt Ryan sits unless it's a massive blowout in the second half. And if it is chances are high Ryan had something to do with it. If you've been starting Ryan all season I see no reason to be worried about him this week. I'd start him with confidence.
Can't afford to have the Chiefs coaching staff sabotage your championship game. For me, it's choosing 2 out of Lynch, Charles and Moreno. Hard to bench Lynch right now, waiting on Justin Smith news, he's probably the safer play. Obvious nightmare is having whoever sits blow up on your bench. The Chiefs just seem to give up on the running game too damn easy. They were not out of the game against Oakland at any point, didn't run very many plays overall. They are horrible
Exactly this. If you are debating between Charles and Morris or Bryant or Murray, that's a whole other situation. It's when you're trying to decide if you should start Bush, Wells, Greene, etc where IMO you roll with the Stud that helped get you to the playoffs/Super Bowl.
Yup. Kinda comes down to which would make you puke harder: Sitting Charles and he blows up and outscores your option OR strating him and losing and telling yourself "you KNEW the Chiefs would kill you...AGAIN!"
How do you even contemplate benching Lynch? Unbenchable. Threw up 103 rushing yards on the road vs. SF in Week 7.
I'm actually optimistic about Lynch. Had 100+ yards @ SF earlier this year, 49rs coming off a tough game against the Patriots, Seattle at home, Wilson a different QB now and can keep them honest, and Lynch is well rested with only 11 and 10 carries the last 2 weeks. He's ready for a 25 carry day.
Note that the Falcons put up 34 against the G Men. I wouldn't worry about the matchup THAT much. The game is in BAL and BAL just got embarrassed by DEN. BAL NEEDS this game badly. I expect a healthy dose of Rice given that Torrey Smith may not play.Marshall is a beast. AZ D is good but not that good. He'll still get you 6+ catches.
After seeing what ADP did to them last week, I'm worried that Martin will go off against the Rams. (obviously facing him). My fear is that Freeman doesn't get his head out of his ### to hit Mike Williams when he's wide open. Also nervous about Nicks - may not even start him as a flex. Seriously thinking about playing Greg Olsen over him - better chance to get a TD at home vs. the Raiders. Do worry about Spiller vs. the Dolphin run D - hoping that he can get some screens etc or break a long one. He will get stuffed several times. Hope the "braintrust" (oxymoron if there ever was one) in Buffalo can come up with a decent gameplan. Hoping Calvin at home can still go off vs. Atlanta pass D.
Roddy maybe, but don't overthink Brady. Bill is going to want to put up 70. I'm going against Brady, Welker and Pats K in one championship and i'm terrified. Ridley and Vereen are fumble machines. They are going to get up to a big lead but it's on Brady's 4 1st half TD's.
I'm worried Ryan will be on the sideline for the second half.
