gardenthug Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Does Smith take advantage of the cupcake matchup with the Browns this weekend? Ray Rice didn't exactly eat them up on Monday night, even though Clev is minus 2 starting LB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladder Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Cle D looked pretty tough last week....don't forget the offense was scored on. hardly a cupcake. ....that being said the D is on the field too long and wears down. best chance for points is the second half.

gardenthug Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 The Clev Def looked pretty good on Monday, but that's only a 1 game sample and it was at home on MNF. They've been pitiful against the run for a majority of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm in the same dilemma. Smith's match-up looks so good, but that'd mean sitting Addai or Rice. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I traded Smith last week to get Schuab but I'm a huge Smith fan. He, along with CJ have been crippled this year but this weeks matchup leads to a good time for Smith. I see him breaking that 100 yard mark this week with a td.

Chadman Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I think I will be giving him another shot this week in place of Addai. Has to be a game they think they can win, and controlling the ball has to be a good option for the offense. I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenthug Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I was looking for a reason to start Smith this week..... and then Benson got injured. I'll be playing Smith over Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 If you can't play Smith this week then when can you play him ? He will never play Detroit so Cleveland is the next best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdmanJones Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Cleveland has a knack for making opponents look (but win) ugly. Starting Smith would mean sitting Rice or LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramhock Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I am starting LEvans over Smith. I already have Megatron & fear a 6 - 3 battle. When bad teams compete, no one wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 CLE's D aint bad, esp considering how their own O ironically wears them out. Plus Smith/the Lions' O has been even lamer than last year. FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm gonna roll with Smith as my flex over Hester. Like Henri said, if you don't start him this week, when will you start him? It's also PPR, so I'll see if this guy has at least one stud game in him this year. If not this week... then never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 If not this week... then never. I agree. I'll probably start him this week, but if he disappoints, I'm done with him for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Cleveland has a knack for making opponents look (but win) ugly. Starting Smith would mean sitting Rice or LT. In PPR particularly, I would start K. Smith over LT this week. Ray Rice doesn't sit... ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfer Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I traded Bowe for Smith early in the year. No winner in that trade so far heh. I'm starting Smith this week, but after this, be warned, it's murderer's row for him. He basically faces top 10 run D's weeks 12-17. Ugh.

Avernus Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 it really depends on how the game plays out and if he gets some looks in the passing game... his strength will probably be more-so in the passing attack rather than on the ground....
