Help - my bench keeps outscoring my starters 

Post#1 » by 93 Phillies » Wed Sep 28, 2011 10:59 am

QB: Michael Vick
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: Steve Smith (CAR)
RB: Rashard Mendenhall
RB: LeGarrette Blount
TE: Jimmy Graham
W/R/T: Jermichael Finley
K: Mason Crosby
DEF: Detroit
Bench: Josh Freeman
Bench: Darren Sproles
Bench: Daniel Thomas
Bench: Dwayne Bowe
Bench: Mike Williams (TB)
Bench: Robert Meachem

Who should I be starting? I just decided to bench Mike Williams after a couple of terrible performances. I'm starting two tight ends.

Nate Washington is available in my league. Is there anyone I should cut to get him?

actually got D. Thomas from waivers and only started him cause Wells was out, lucky brake but I think this guy is for real and the way Bush has sucked i.e. fumbling the ball I think D. Thomas is the clear #1 rb now, so I will start him over Blunt and or Mendenhall (I have them both too). As for Nate pick up, I dont know dude I would have said Machem but he's pretty solid too, you could give up on M. Williams, Freeman sucks and TB offense sucks we were probably both lucky TB was up that game against Atl and started killing clock with Blunt otherwise he would've had another crap week, what BS offense using QB to sneak in an then also throwing it at the goal line to get int. Crap like that makes me worry bout Blunt even more now.

It's funny - you're the third person now I've talked to that also has Blount and Mendenhall. Talk about a frustrating fantasy duo. I'm giving both of them another week. Blount has only really played completely terrible the first week.

I just cut Mike Williams and picked up Nate Washington. My WR depth is decent; I don't have patience for guys who turn in back to back duds.

I'm wondering now though if I should be starting Bowe over Jimmy Graham.

I wouldn't do that. Graham have been very consistant and Bowe has been anything but.

I'll tell you what, you don't have a must start player on your roster outside of your two TE's, who both happen to be monsters.

Play matchups the rest of the year, don't at all think about where you drafted guys, NONE of your guys are good enough to use their big names or draft position to pick unless all your players have even matchups and you need a coin flip to decide.

With only 2 starting WR slots, even Jennings isn't necessarily a must start, but he's close I guess.

Matchups, matchups, matchups! :D

Oh and waiver wire, although you don't necessarily have any droppable players right now either.
