Anyone else benching Fitzgerald today?

Postby copper104 » Sun Dec 06, 2009 10:02 am

I don't like the matchup (ARI vs. MIN) and I particularly don't like Warner being a gametime decision (although he'll likely play). I'm banking on S. Rice and B. Marshall having good games today. Also have M. Austin, but he'll be keeping Fitz company. Anyone else opting not to play Fitzgerald today?

Hmm, last I looked Vikings weren't that great against the pass. I'd be benching Austin and starting Fitz.

If I had Fitz on my fantasy team, he would ALWAYS be starting. No matter who the QB/matchup is.

Don't start the golden child Fitz! I'm flirting with benching Boldin but don't touch Fitz, he's always good for 75+ and a TD.

If you bench Fitz then you dont know anything about fantasy football. Its like benching ADP cause hes playing Pitt or something.... You just dont do it cause id rather lose playing my best player then lose cause i sat him.

This post is NOT wasting time!!!! Fitz had 4 catches for 34 yards last week, his worst week of the year. It's not a conincidence that Leinart started at QB. A WR is only as good as the QB getting him the ball. If Leinart starts, Fitz takes a big dip in value. Leinart is AWFUL. Also, Cards LT Gandy is out. Who is blocking Jared Allen?? I don't know see Leinart getting any time to get the ball downfield. I know it is nearly impossible to bench Fitz but 4 for 34 was in a better matchup last week.

I have the same dilemna. I may start Jennings Monday night if Leinart starts. Luckily, I have that option to make later tonight. I am starting Fitz, Sims-Walker, and Smith (NYG). Jennings will probably start if Warner can't go.
QB - Rodgers, Palmer
RB - Mendenhall, Ridley, A. Brown, D. Thomas, Vereen
WR - Nicks, Cobb, Lloyd, Broyles, Hankerson, Hixon

Warner will go, and the Vikes secondary isn't stellar, and this should be a high scoring game..... Fitz is coming home to Minney. DO NOT BENCH THE BEST RECIEVER IN FOOTBALL!
