ADDAI OR WELLS?! NEED HELP, WHIR 100%

Postby jhawks823 » Wed Dec 16, 2009 2:27 pm

okay so i have a really touch decision to make for this week. its the 2nd round of the playoffs, i had a bye in the first round. my team has killed it all year, im 10-2-1 and feeling good about winning it all this yr. theres 1500 dollars on the line for me to win and this week i need to make the right moves to make it to the championship. so here it is...

do i start beanie wells @ DET or joseph addai @ JAX?

i picked up wells this week after seeing what he did vs SF. he looked solid and got the majority of the carries. its said that he might take the starting job from hightower which wud give him an insane matchup vs the lions (ravens ran ALL over them last week, 5 rushing tds). i mean regardless i think he can put up some pts this week even if he splits. but the cards shud go ahead early n run run run. but i really think hes gonna get most the carries. im leaning towards starting wells.

now about addai. addai has been my dude all year. putting up solid numbers, like at least 10 pts a game and having some awesome/solid games here n there. am i about to bale out on him n roll with wells? i feel like i should start him only because ive been using him all yr. but the question here is, what if they pull their starters? they said they wud play their starters like it was any other game though. regardless, addai has been real good this yr for me and can easily score 1-2 tds n some solid yards in any game. the jags r pretty good vs the run and awful vs the pass which makes me believe that the colts will throw all day.

so what do i do here guys? help me out. i think i shud start wells but addai for some reason seems hard to bench. i really need to win this week cuz the kid im playing has chris johnson n i need to match his rb pts. my other rb is benson who i am starting also.

standard league, no ppr. rushing td = 6 pts, every 10 rec/rush yds = 1 pt

Tough situation when you have a money match up sitting on your bench. Personally...if you've been killing it all year, why rock the boat. I roll with my winning recipe. It's been consistant, vs. good & bad match ups, and got you where you need to be. Basically, you have to prepare yourself mentally to lose. Bank on winning and you lose, you'll face heartbreak worse than any broad could ever dish out. My point is-if you lose, and lose with Wells, and Addiah is sitting on your bench with some killer points, you'll be PISSED at yourself. However if you lose with your main squad, the guys who got you where you are, you can say you went down swinging.

I agree with Verb lol, you will be PISSED if you rock the boat and take Addai out of your lineup and he goes off. Been there, done that. However, I think this comes down to who your facing. If your playing a really strong opponent this week, I would probably start Wells, as I think its a higher risk/higher reward start. But if your facing a player who your close with or well ahead of, I would start addai. Can't fault you for starting either one of these guys though.
