Am I overthinking this? Bench Rodgers/Cook for Smith/Peterson?

10-team, non-PPR league...

 

Have Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith, but concerned that Rodgers may not play or, if he plays, will not be 100% and could risk further injury against a tough Vikings defense. Smith gets to tee off on the Colts, so he might be worth a shot this week. Thoughts?

 

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice, we start 2 RBs and I have Jordan Howard (vs. SEA) and Dalvin Cook (vs. GB) currently in the lineup, but I'm considering starting Adrian Peterson (vs. IND). Should I bench Cook for Peterson?

 

What say you, Huddlers?

I follow the Vikes as my nfc team.  Rodgers against that pass rush was going to be tough already.  With his bum wheel he's going to be missing some of his escapability.  Proceed with major caution.  I'd take Smith against the Colts D vs one legged Rodgers against one of the top three pass rushes in the NFL...

Well said. Thanks for the input.

 

Anyone else? Thoughts on the RB situation?

I love Rodgers and he is my QB but as a Packers fan I hope they don't rush him back on the field against an elite pass rush and risk further injury. I don't see 1 legged Rodgers being as effective against the Vikings...but if anyone can come out and torch them it's him. Still, I picked up Tyrod just in case and I am strongly considering playing him instead of Rodgers this week...too much risk that he isn't 100% and I don't want to start out 0-2 because Rodgers only plays a quarter or a half a game. 

 

I would have no issue starting Smith either. As for your RB situation, both guys are in situations to have pretty good games but I would personally roll with AP'shot hand while he has it...it certainly may not last much of the season.
