Forte or Donald (WHIR)

Postby toobitter » Fri Oct 23, 2009 5:17 pm

Standard scoring.

So I thought it was a no-brainer to start the underperforming Forte in my flex spot.

Now everybody's saying Donald Brown might be a good play over him.


What do you guys think?


Another one I'm stuck on is two slots on my other team.
This league is PPR.

I was going to start Cadillac in one of my RB slots, but Maroney is available too. Should I pick him up to spell Caddy?

The other slot I'm worried about is my flex. I can start Steve Breaston, Johnny Knox, Devin Hester or as I stated before, I can grab Maroney.

Leaning towards Caddy and Breaston in that one.

Forte has been terrible but I really dont' think you can sit him. Hopefully he doesn't fumble twice this week.

Against the Rams, you play anyone you have!

Cutler will be throwing a lot and so far Forte has not caught much I would go Brown.

I like Forte, but Cincy is solid on D. Brown has a great matchup and I pretty much subscribe to the idea of playin anyone who's playing StL.

Forte. He hasnt done much this season but he gets plenty of chances to succeed. Plus the Bengals lost 1 of their top defensive guys for the season which could help. Brown may get 15 carries or he may get 5. I wouldnt take that chance on him.

Ya, I agree with above posts. Brown is not the man in Indy plus they have so many other scoring options. Forte has higher upside.

On the other hand, Indy will destroy the Rams and might give run the ball a lot in the second half. If they're winning then I'd suspect they'd give Brown more carries and wanna rest Addai who is a little fragile. Still too big a risk in my opinion.

I'm in agreement that you are forced to start Forte because he's the main guy in the Chicago backfield. Like previously stated, you just don't know how many touches Brown will get.

As for your other situation, I think you have to grab Maroney if he's available. I don't see Cadillac doing much this week against the Pats.

Forte 100%

Brown gets less carries.
Cincinnati is NOT the powerhouse they are pretending to be (the BROWNS took them to OT).

Help with a flex spot? http://www.fantasyfootballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=457227
