Winoman Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) In my first league we start 2 - Gore is in IMO - however my #2 is Benson and while he's done well vs the Ravens before I think Cinci will be throwing and game is likely to not be high scoring so I'm thinking my back ups might be better options - so what do you think? - C Benson - Brandon Jacobs - Ladanian Thomilson or Tim Hightower (Standard non PPR) - actually thinking Jacobs in this one (vs Indy) am I nuts? Wondering if Thomilson is the better play or should I just go Benson - Hightower not really in consideration (though My fantasy league projects him and Thomilson both with way more pts then Jacobs or Benson) 2nd league - can start as many as 3 (it is wr/rb flex) - scoring modified PPR (2 pts for every 5 rec) M Turner is my #1 and is a go - after that I have a choice between Forte, R Brown, C Portis (or Jacoby Jones or Lee Evans - neither I'm really considering). I'm thinking R Brown is a split w R WIlliams and going against the Vikings so hes on the bench and am planning to start Portis & Forte (but neither with high hopes) So what do you folks think? Advice on both appreciated.... Edited September 17, 2010 by Winoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestugots Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) League 1 Go with Benson, I am in the same position as you (Gore is my regular starter). Although I think Cincy will target questionable secondary of Baltimore I think blowback will be Benson has a decent day with 1 TD. However I would give Brandon Jacobs similar TD value, simply b/c Indy look extremely bad against the run last week. League 2 Forte and Portis are your best bet, why even consider Brown when he won't get the carries and will be up against MIN's Defense?

Winoman Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks stugots - pretty much aligns with my thinking - on team # 2 for sure. I fully agree with what you say on Benson - but frankly I could see (in my dreams anyway) Jacobs having mutiple scores and a very big day vs Indy (Bradshaw nonwithstanding...whom I have and am starting - even over brandon Jackson in another league...though maybe I'm nuts there eh? Indys D really really sucks IMO....plus its the Sunday night game so I'll get to see it!) Edited September 17, 2010 by Winoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teewhy237 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'd personally keep close tabs on Beanie Wells. I'd be inclined to go with Hightower if Wells doesn't play. Otherwise, I like Jacobs TD potential vs Colts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winoman Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I just don't have confidence in Hightower vs seemingly pretty stout Atl D...and Ariz has some real offensive ? marks. I've got Jacobs in the lineup now but I'm having a "always start your studs" moment - particularly considering Bensons past sucess. Even if they use the pass to move the ball they will still run Benson at the goaline - just I don't expect as many opurtunities as Jacobs potentially might have...argh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
