December 16, 201114 yr I'm having a really hard time with my RB and WR decisions this week. Pick 1 - Michael Bush (vs. Detroit) or Shonn Greene (at Philadelphia) Pick 2 - Mike Wallace (at San Francisco), Dez Bryant (at Tampa Bay), Victor Cruz (vs. Washington) The RB question is only a question because of how well Greene has been running lately. Philly doesn't have a great rushing defense, but neither does Detroit. I think Bush will get the larger workload. When I submitted my lineup on Sunday, I had Greene penciled in, but I'm starting to think it should be Bush. The WR question has been a question for weeks now. Ever since I've picked up Cruz, he's been this blight that I couldn't make myself start. Well, I started him last week, over Wallace, and that worked out as Dez did better than both of them (thanks to one loooong TD) and Cruz and Wallace were equivalent. I had both Julio Jones and Nate Washington who did better, but no way I start either of them. This week, I currently have Bryant and Cruz going. I know I'm playing with fire if I bench Wallace, but I don't really like an injured Big Ben throwing to him. Once he got hurt the other day, I don't think Wallace had a single catch. What say you? Tough decisions to be honest... I do expect a good game from Greene, but the safer pick is Bush. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either. Greene's been running with a purpose in recent weeks. I see no reason for that to stop, as the Jets are making that final playoff push. The WR question is impossible to answer. Seriously, those are 3 really good receivers. Miles Austin is back this week, so does that hurt Dez any? A trio of Austin, Dez, and Robinson is LETHAL. The problem is the majority of the offense could go through any of them, but I fully expect Dez to get his. I say roll a die and see which one to sit. :lol: I'm not giving you an actual answer, because I know whoever I pick to sit will have the best week of them all.

Guess I can't blame you for not wanting to be blamed come Sunday! I'm reaping the benefits and curses of drafting well and acquiring good WRs. I've already watched Julio Jones have an excellent game on my bench last night, so chances are I'm going to be upset about something or another come Sunday. I think I'm going to roll with Bush at RB and Cruz and Dez at WR. I just don't think Wallace will be as effective, and my opponent has Big Ben, which will diminish what Wallace does for me anyway. I just have to hope that he doesn't have a good game for my sanity!
December 17, 201114 yr No way you sit Rice. I don't see him as wearing down at all. He's rushed for 411 yards in his last four games with 4 TDs. Remove the outliers (59 yards against San Francisco w/ no TDs and 204 yards against Cleveland with 1 TD), and Rice still had 207 yards with 3 TDs on 46 rushes. This is in fact his best 4 game stretch of the year with three 100+ games. Like they used to say on Scooby Doo, I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids! ...I play Rocket this week, just trying to gain an edge.

December 18, 201114 yr Not sure if I made a smart move, but just dropped McGahee and picked up Matt Forte.
December 19, 201114 yr Author Which is why the Ravens are going to key on him big time and I think Jimmy Graham is the safer bet easily. Hope you went with Graham Spice!
