Johnny2247 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Standard scoring, no PPR. I need to start 2 of the following 3 RB's. Tough decision this week. I saw on Yahoo that Benson didn't practice today. Has some sort of foot issue. Anyway, here are my choices. M. Jones Drew vs Ten Chris Johnson at Jax C. Benson @ Cleveland Am leaning towanrd Johnson and Benson (assuming he is healthy). Tennessee is tough against the run. Hard to bench a guy that scored 3 TD's last week. Any thoughts?

mabucfan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Right now, I'd say CJ & Benson - but he is now listed as "questionable", so you'll have to watch the reports come Friday. Great news for you though - if you can't use Benson, you put in MJD?! Crazy. Good luck, see my trade questions when you have a minute.

Johnny2247 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah, not a bad situation to have I guess. I also have Felix Jones who I started over Chris Johnson last week. He was having a great game until he got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWP 45 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You must start MJD and CJ every game, regardless of matchup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfly Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Even though I love Benson's matchup this week, I think you have to always play Johnson and MJD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny2247 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for the input but I am not sure I completely agree that you should start MJD and Johnson every week regardless of matchup. Last week was a prime example. Chris Johnson was coming off a 46 point performance and yet I sat him in favor of Felix Jones. Johnson was playing the Jets and I didn't like the matchup. Jones was having a monster game until he got hurt but still outscored Johnson. This week, MJD is coming off a monster game but goes against a Tennessee defense that is ranked #1 against the run. Meanwhile, Benson goes against a Cleveland defense that is 31st against the run. The Huddle predicts Benson having a huge game and MJD not scoring a TD (which is hard for me to believe). I think I will just wait to see what Benson's injury status is. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benyak007 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I would roll with Benson for sure and flip a coin with the other two. MJD might not have long runs, but the Titans are one of the worst against the pass and they will get the ball down the field. That leaves goal line carries for MJD, who does not share a load like Chris Johnson does. Of course, Johnson could easily have a nice game too. You really don't have much of a dilemma here. If your WRs are any good at all, you should win a lot of your matchups this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 CJ and Benson have the matchups. Start them this week. Please see my trade question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
