Postby oddjob142 » Thu Sep 10, 2009 6:37 pm

Deangelo Williams is a lock....but I have two spots left

Willie Parker
Thomas Jones
Cedric Benson

I am leaning on sitting Parker...any thoughts?

I own Benson and Parker and I am sitting Benson. He has the better matchup, sure, but he still is Cedric Benson, and Parker will catch a few screens. No Haynesworth, either.
12 team, .5 PPR

QB: Warner, Ryan, D. Anderson
RB: Gore, P. Thomas, Benson, Hightower
WR: Fitzgerald, Ocho Cinco, S. Smith (NYG), Hines Ward, Harvin
TE: Heap, Finley
D: Matchups

I like Benson over Parker. To me Parker v. Jones is a push because I hae no clue what they will do, but I say heck, go with Parker for 2 reasons....1) Titans D lost big Albert and 2) (mainly) You have someone to root for tonight.

Thanks for the help!

id actually go Jones (decent RB with decent matchup) and Benson (mediocre RB but sweet matchup)

FWP would be my choice most weeks, but TEn seems much tougher than HOU and/or DEN.

Leave FWP on the bench this week. Too many question marks about the Steelers offensive line and the Titans have a good D-line.

I didn't catch the whole game, but how did Willie parker only get 2 points(and thats ppr, not sure what his exact stats were)?

In a low scoring game I'm surprised, jeez

Pitt line got man handled...

buy low on Parker if you can he will light up bad/mediocre teams that pitt can block.

or wait till he struggles week 2 again v. bears and buy before he gets cinci/detroit after that
