Week 14: Sit Benson?

Postby Whisper » Wed Dec 09, 2009 7:53 am

12-team PPR league.

Given Benson's match-up against Minnesota, it's tough to play him. Then again, given Cin's plan of handing him the ball 30+ times per game, it's hard to sit him. I have Cartwright as another option @ Oakland this week...

Cartwright is currently my flex play, but I could move him to RB2 (behind Chris Johnson), and then use Wallace or Britt as a flex this week.

Thoughts?

This is tough being that your league is ppr. It's difficult not to consider Britt against STL over Benson vs MIN. Based on matchups I'd go with Cartwright vs OAK at RB2 and Britt in the Flex.

Thanks for the input...although now that Cartwright's no longer starting, and Ganther was already grabbed minutes after that announcement, it looks like Benson will be in my roster as usual regardless.

My only other RB options are Morris and Lynch, both recently grabbed off of waivers. And there's no way I'm sitting Benson for either of those guys; 20+ nearly-guaranteed carries and exclusive dibs on redzone work beats a match-up with KC any day as far as I'm concerned.
