I'm a little torn on my WR and Flex situations this week. I have a 31 point lead after Thursday's game (Bush vs. his Vjax), so I feel like a gamble player is an option over a consistent one.
Lloyd is projected to get 27 according to NFL.com, but everyone gives him downside due to playing the Browns, who have the #1 defense against WR for points allowed (3 rec TD's allowed). Lloyd is matched up badly as well, but he should still get a lot of looks. I really liked watching Earl Bennett (projected 13) last week. He reeled in everything going 5/5 95/TD while the others were dropping passes. I think Cutler is going to throw more to him going forward. I'm tempted to keep Tate in the flex and replace Lloyd with Bennett since I have a big lead to start, but my opponent doesn't exactly have scrubs playing Sunday either (Brees, McCoy, Murray, Wallace, Breaston, F. Davis).
Does anyone think a gamble on Tate/Flex and Bennett/WR2 this week is a viable strategy? Should Bennett be given one more week to prove himself, or does he have more upside to Lloyd due to the match up?
