RussMan Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Benching or Starting LT is the kind of decsion that can make or break your playoff game today. Sounds like the weather won't be great for the passing game in KC. And KC has a poor run D.That said LT isn't the guy we remember. I am starting LT and Rhodes. Slaton is on the bench. I have to say I have a bad feeling about benching Slaton for LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) I'm starting my #1 pick for sure. I am riding him right to the Toilet Bowl title! Sorry.... a bit disgruntled and bitter at wasting the first pick once again. ETA: If you are still in the hunt I would start Slaton.

Savage Beatings Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm starting him in one of my semi-final playoff games today. He's been part of the solution for my team up to this point, so no reason for me to change it up now. I don't think he will do any worse than he's been doing in recent weeks.

Pope Flick Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 If it's do or die, then General Principle says go with LT. KCs D has been gashed hard this year by Carolina, NYJ, NO...the list is pretty solid. Expect Sproles to make his noise too but a 100/1 game should be here for LT...and MAYBE we get that elusive multi Touch game. I'm riding him in the GvE playoffs today.

dolphz Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Benching LT for MJD. The only reason I'm in the playoffs is that I started benching LT a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot7 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I started him over Forte,so it better pay off. Go LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I suppose I'm one of the rare guys who doesn't have enough RBs ranked above #14 to bench him in favor of? Certainly I didn't draft him 1st overall to be merely a borderline RB1 but that doesn't mean I need to compound the problem by starting lesser options in front of him. Dude has posted double digits for the last 6 games, gotten over 15 for half of those and faces a porous run D. Good for you if that's not good enough to make your starting line-up. However, considering Jacobs, Barber, Portis, FWP/Moore, Gore, etc. are either out or not worth a start, I'm guessing that isn't many FF teams.

RussMan Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 SPROLES is the wild card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisc9999 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I had LT in my starting lineup (alongside Chris Johnson) but benched him for MJD when the news that Fred Taylor was put on IR came out. I don't feel good about it but I'm still having flashbacks of LT leaving the Oakland game every other play between the 20s and having two red zone TDs vultured by Sproles last week.

Hat Trick Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 SPROLES is the wild card. Ding! I see him as the RB perfect for torching the Chiefs more than LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 At the half... LT has 13 yards rushing and 18 receiving against the lowly KC defense. Pathetic. Better get it going in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussMan Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) 1st and goal on the 6. Lets see what they do. 1-6-KC 6 (8:33) L.Tomlinson up the middle for 6 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Edited December 14, 2008 by RussMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphz Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Benched LT for MJD this week and it got me into the superbowl. I'm rolling with MJD over LT this week as well. Surreal...my #1 overall pick is healthy and I'm not using him at all in my playoffs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Im only using him because i have no one else and he has as much change to get a 1 yard plunge then any WR or RB off waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
