dolphz Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well, I am sitting LT for my playoffs (going with MJD and Forte). I would never have imagined three months ago when I drafted him first overall that I would be benching a healthy LT for my first playoff game. Anyone else benching LT in the playoffs?

MrTed46 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 If I had him, he would be on my bench as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy n Dirty Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't own him, but I am playing against him in the playoffs this weekend. Sure, the guy has been disappointing, but he is facing the #32 ranked rushing defense in the NFL in the Chiefs this weekend - seems a tough spot to bench him.

peepinmofo Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) It was either him or Lynch for me. Im sitting Lynch for Viva la Pierre. ETA - If I win this week, Ill consider sitting LT next week and play Lynch... All depends on the matchups...

The Holy Roller Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 He's on my bench for Chris Johnson and Thomas Jones. Who would have thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm thinking SHOOTOUT game. Lots of points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudolefty Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm playing him. Although he and the entire team haven't performed up to par, I still think he's good for 100 total yards and 1 TD against the 31st ranked rush defense in the league. Anything more is great! Anything less is .... oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I drafted him #1, and this week he'll show you exactly why....14 weeks of frustration will be unfurled on the Chiefs porous rush defense in devastating fashion. 23 carries, 135 yards rushing, 4 catches for 45 yards, 3 TDs.

RussMan Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) I am also considering benching him for either Slaton or Rhodes. Slayton has become a steady back for me, and plays at home in a must win game. Rhodes plays the Lions so if Addai is out, I almost HAVE to play him. These kind of decisions.. benching LT or not can easily make or break you Championship. Edited December 11, 2008 by RussMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 the chiefs seem to have that ability to ramp up their D at home and make things awful tough on the other team. i've got him benched as well for portis and c. johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thats what I thought he would be good for at a MINIMUM vs Oakland. Boy was I wrong... So he got about the minimum. Sure that's not the kind of numbers you want the #1 overall pick to put up on a crappy D but there's no need to punish yourself by denying what should be another 15-20 pt outing. I'm starting him despite decent options. I'm starting LT, Bush, and J Stewart over J Lewis, M Moore, K Smith. I could start a 3rd WR between R Wayne, R White, and B Marshall but it's not like any of those guys is a lock for 15 pts either. None of them even average 15 pts. So, I'll pick 2 of those 3 and run them along with LT and the other 2 backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Portis was my first pick and Colston my 2nd. I think they are both on the bench this week. I'm going with Turner, Pierre and Forte and Bowe plus 1 WR yet to be determined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Do not bench LT!!! He will get his in KC. He will have something to prove that the year was not a loss fantasy wise!!! I am starting him with MJD I also have Lynch and J.Stewart!!! You will regret not starting him You might regret benching John Stewart... like u did last week. PS dont forget about Sproles...
