It may sound crazy consider they are my first 2 picks, but I think I'm sitting LJ and Benson for Graham and Ward this week. Who do you think I should start? (No PPR)

Re: *** Official Fantasy Football Start\'em/Sit\'em Thread: OCTOBER ***
 

Hmm, just noticed that Ward is having some ankle issues. I guess I will go with LJ against the terrible Cincy run defense.

Should I drop someone, not play a kicker, not play a TE?

Short bench league, here is my current starting roster
QB: Warner v. Car
RB: Jacobs v. Atlanta, Jordan v. SD
WR: Housh v. KC, Holt v. Bal
TE: Crumpler
K: empty
Def: Seattle v. NO

Bench: Addai (bye), Thomas Jones (v. Phi), Benson (dead vs. Min), Coles (Phi), and Driver (Was)

Obviously none of these guys are very droppable. I'm currently 3-2 and second in my division (top 3 make playoffs) and I'll probably lose. Am I making the right choice? For reference, free agency gets locked 5 minutes prior to kickoff and opens at 11:59PM Tuesday, so I could conceivably drop someone and snag them back up if I'm quick (I haven't missed a player I wanted yet, and I snagged Jones this way)

He had those issues last week as well, but you might as well have dropped LJ if you weren't going to start him over Ward against Cincy

Week 5:
LJ as a starter: 1 point
Ward as a backup: 11 points

I'm not dropping LJ, but come on, you can see why I actually thought about benching LJ for the first time this entire year. At least Benson is a pretty easy sit against the best run defense in the league.

RB problems:

need to start 2

Lynch (Bye)
Sammy M vs Dallas (ok)
Rudi Johnson @ KC (hurt??)
Lamont Jordon @ SD (hurt???)

We have a 4 RB max per team rule, so if I pick up one on waivers I have to drop one. ideas??

Re: *** Official Fantasy Football Start\'em/Sit\'em Thread: OCTOBER ***
 

PPR (1 pt per reception) and 20 yds/pt

Re: *** Official Fantasy Football Start\'em/Sit\'em Thread: OCTOBER ***
 

I think Jordan is droppable for a week. He has chronic back probs, and he said this is the worst yet. If he plays, he won't be getting a full load, as he should split carries with Fargas, and Rhodes (off 4 game suspension.) IMO Raiders as a whole will be getting rushing yards, but how much will Jordan? I would think Kiffin will take it easy on Jordan so we have him for the whole season.

How did this happen? And why do you need help winning a league where LJ gets drafted in the second round? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
