Do I start Forte or Hightower? 100% WHIR

Postby jhurstjunior » Fri Sep 10, 2010 9:02 pm

I am in a 12 team yahoo league that uses standard scoring. The names that are in bold is who I am starting. I missed out on the good game from Shiancoe so I hope Finley has a good game. What I want to know is do I bench Forte and insert Hightower since Wells might not be playing? Also if you see anything else you would change in my line up let me know.

QB: Romo, Palmer
RBs: J. Charles, Matt Forte, Tim Hightower, LT
WRs: A. Johnson, Miles Austin, Dexter McCluster, Golden Tate, Laurent Robinson
TE: J. Finley, Visanthe Shiancoe
K: Jeff Reed
DEF: Chicago
IDP: Karlos Dansby

Forte or Hightower..

Well, this is why i had trouble.

Forte is up against Kyle Vanden Bosch and Ndamukong Suh.

Hightower going against the rams...

Here's what i think.

I say if beanie wells is out 100%, you start hightower.

If he has even a chance of playing, start forte.

I think I would start Hightower. Goin against a Rams D I think he's gonna punch one in. Even if Beanie plays he wont be 100%. Go with Hightower

Only start T. Hightower if B. Wells is not playing.

M. Forte should have a solid game against Detroit, even if Chicago primarily focuses on throwing the ball.

Hightower is the choice here imo. Wells will be a game time decision at best. Forte still has to deal with Chester Taylor this season.

Thanks for responding to my post.

I would start Hightower, no hesitation... On matchup alone. It's a bonus that he's a very underrated back.

Btw, Arizona coach already announced that Beanie will have limited touches at BEST. Expect the cardinals to run and to run often. Start Hightower and Never look back... Unless beanie miraculously recovers.

Forte is good, but has a tougher def to deal with (not by much). Also, with Marxs offensive schemes, expect them to pass often.

Hightower. Though I don't think you'll go wrong with Forte either.

Play Hightower if Wells is declared OUT before game time. Otherwise, go with the guy you feel is gonna have a breakout year: Forte. That's why you drafted him, right?
