Jennings or D. Amendola -- Sounds ridiculous..but is it?

Postby Zas122074 » Fri Nov 13, 2009 3:00 pm

Should I start G. Jennings or D. Amendola of STL

Just hearing that, it sounds like a no brainer, but I'm in a league that rewards points for kickoff and punt return yards.

for kickoff yards its .05 per yard. 3 point bonus for over 150 kick return yards in a game
for punt return its .1 per yard 3 point bonus for over 100 punt return yards in a game

My theory is this, I expect New Orleans to score a lot of points this game in which they will have to kickoff more. Amendola is averaging 24.0 yards per kickoff return. If NO scores 5 times thats 120 yards. You add the one extra return on game starting kickoff or start of the 3rd quarter kickoff, and that brings him to 144 yards (and that is if he does his average).

So say he gets him 150 yards kickoff yards, his fantasy points will be 10.5 points. Will Jennings surpass that this weekend? Fantasy owners have see Jennings get double digits 3 times this season (non PPR leagues), once in the past 4 games.

Am I crazy to even think in starting Amendola?

Based on your theory it does not seem all that crazy.

I just have a hard time suggesting anyone sit Jennings but NO will score a lot against STL.
Winning isn't everything, it's the ONLY thing!!!
