Which RB should I bench: Hightower, Turner, Westbrook

Postby AJax728 » Fri Oct 09, 2009 3:21 pm

I am driving myself nuts thinking about this.

I have the following 3 RB’s:

Michael Turner vs San Francisco
Brian Westbrook vs Tampa Bay
Tim Hightower vs Houston

Turner seems like an obvious start, but SF has a tough rushing defense. TB and Houston are among the worst rush defense teams in the NFL. Westbrook is coming off an injury, Hightower has done ‘mediocre’ so far. Both Hightower and Westbrook would probably split their carries.

So…who would YOU bench here?? I’d hate to bench Turner, but I’m almost tempted to because of the matchups (and he has just been ‘ok’ so far)…that would be the most unlikely option though; it's basically between Westbrook and Hightower...

I agree with you 100% and I would also be concerned about just how much Westbrook plays. It not like they need him vs TB.
Stick with you gut feelings and sit Westy.

Thanks. That is what I was originally leaning towards (before changing it to hightower, then back to westbrook 2 or 3 times). I just hate to bench Westbrook!

I'm gonna go with my original instinct and start Hightower.
