Week 12 start/sit

  • BR1986FB
    Eli Manning vs NO
    or
    Matt Ryan vs MINN

    Pick two:

    Michael Turner vs MINN
    Kevin Smith vs GB
    Ced Benson vs CLE

    Benson & Smith have the higher point projections (barely) while Eli's projection is a hair above Ryan's.

    My thoughts on Turner is that the Birds are at home, may get a lead early and go into "run mode" even though he's the lower projection. Browns D (facing Benson) is coming off a decent showing containing Steven Jackson to < 90 yards and GB's defense (who Smith faces) is a sieve. Thoughts?

    I'd go with Manning. The Saints D isn't all that great. When they win their games it's a shootout and NO usually just has the better offense.

    I have the same problem at RB.

    Michael Turner vs. Minn
    Frank Gore @ Baltimore
    Reggie Bush (predicted to get more pts than the other two) @ Dallas

    I would never consider pulling Turner or Gore for Bush, but he's also never been predicted to do better. I think I'm going to leave Turner in vs. Minnesota, but debating Bush for Gore.
  • BR1986FB
    I don't like that Gore vs BALT matchup.

    Benson had a pretty good game against the ravens and gore> Benson

    He had 41 yards rushing. If he doesn't score from close range that's a crappy day. The question is, will SF get that close to the end zone to give Gore the shot?

    As far as my situation, I think I may roll with Smith & Benson at RB.

    Tough choice. It would be hard for me to ever take Turner out of the lineup. He is quietly having a great year.

    Some of my dilemmas this week:

    For QB2:

    Grossman @ Seattle
    Bradford vs Arizona

    Different league:

    Flex position

    Benson vs Cleveland
    Murray vs Miami
  • Iliketurtles
    BR- Manning then Turner and Benson
    BB4- Turner and Gore
    TB14- Grossman and Murray
  • BR1986FB
    I'm going with Benson & Turner. I can't see the Browns defense containing another feature back 2 weeks in a row. I have Kevin Smith starting on 2 other teams so it won't be a total loss.

    Got a solid 5.80 points with Gore. It was him or Reggie Bush though... and go figure, Bush got 12.60.

    At least my Baltimore Def stepped it up and made up the difference. I'm in 3rd in my league and the first two have already clinched playoff spots so I'm just trying to hang tight.

    Ever since Reggie started banging Kim K again he is a must start.

    Got 5.7 from Kevin Smith in 2 of the 3 leagues I started him in before he went down. :(

    Pick 1...we get return yards


    Cribbs at Cincy
    Nate Washington vs TB
    Eric Decker at SD
  • Crimson streak
    Nate Washington he's been pretty solid the last couple weeks and they have been running the ball with him a little bit
  • Iliketurtles
    Nate Washington fo sho!
  • Rotinaj
    Nate Washington Aj Greene or Mike Williams(tb).
  • Iliketurtles
    Id go with AJ Greene no question.
  • BR1986FB
    Stevie Johnson (Buff) vs Revis Island (Jets)
    or
    Reggie Wayne vs CAR
  • Rotinaj
    Think Haden shuts him down tho and I doubt he's 100%. It's either him or Washington for sure.
  • Iliketurtles
    BR Id roll with Johnson he had an ok game earlier in the year against Revis.

    Rotinaj good point I forgot Greene had that injury go with Washington its probably the safe choice.
  • gorocks99
    Couple potential sleepers I'm bouncing around - Vincent Brown vs Denver, or Brandon LaFell vs Indy? Floyd is out for SD, while Naanee is out for Carolina, meaning - potentially - more targets for each. Which would you trust more today?
  • Iliketurtles
    gorocks Id go Lafell
  • gorocks99
    Roy Helu on my bench. FUUUUUUUUU
