Calvin Johnson or Sidney Rice? WHIR

Postby BronXBombers51 » Sun Dec 20, 2009 12:03 pm

Both are questionable but Sid said he's going to play. Assuming Calvin is active (should be announced any minute), who would you go with today? I'm playing Ochocinco as my other WR. Right now I have Sid in my lineup but I'm wondering if I should go Megatron if he's officially playing.
QB- M. Vick
WR- J. Jones, M. Colston
RB- R. Rice, J. Charles
TE- A. Hernandez
FLEX- D. McFadden, F. Jackson
K- G. Zuerlein
DEF- Miami

B- T. Romo, J. Kerley, K. Hunter, V. Ballard, D. Thomas, B. Myers, S. Suisham

Calvin Johnson (knee) is active against the Cardinals in Week 15.
Johnson returned to practice Friday after being held out Thursday, so the knee isn't a major concern. Even with Daunte Culpepper starting, Johnson will be targeted on plenty of deep balls. In an indoor game, he belongs in all fantasy lineups this week.


He's active. And Rotoworld says I have to play him. :-o Help please.

For the record, here's my starting lineup:

QB- Aaron Rodgers
WR- Chad Ochocinco
WR- Calvin Johnson/Sidney Rice
RB- DeAngelo Williams
RB- Ray Rice
TE- Fred Davis
WR/RB- Ryan Grant
WR/RB- Cedric Benson
K- Jay Feeley
DEF- New Orleans

Or should I bench someone else and play both Calvin and Sid? And who? Benson? Ochocinco?
QB- M. Vick
WR- J. Jones, M. Colston
RB- R. Rice, J. Charles
TE- A. Hernandez
FLEX- D. McFadden, F. Jackson
K- G. Zuerlein
DEF- Miami

B- T. Romo, J. Kerley, K. Hunter, V. Ballard, D. Thomas, B. Myers, S. Suisham

I'm in the same boat with Megatron, I'm starting him for his upside, holding my breath every time he gets hit. Honestly, you could make a case for sitting DWill against the Minnesota run defense, especially with a makeshift offensive line in front of him. Carolina pass D has been really good all year, and their run defense has been putrid, so a heavy dose of ADP is very likely. That makes a case for sitting Sidney Rice, especially since the Vikes should be ahead and running the ball late. I like Grant against the Steelers, that defense seems to have lost its teeth without Polamalu, and what Cleveland did to them on the ground was just ridiculous. You can't sit Benson against an average SD run defense, period. If you need the home run, I'd start Sidney over DWill. If you need a safe 7-8 points, I'd leave Sidney on the bench. Good luck!
