Pick 2 - Foster, Forte, Bradshaw, Hightower? (WHIR!)

Postby GiantFanatic » Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:23 pm

So I think this is pretty easy, but I'm wondering if I should rethink my RB2 and Flex 1 slots. Currently starting:

Johnson vs Oak
Foster vs Ind
Forte vs Det

However, I also have:

Bradshaw vs Car
Hightower @ StL

That Hightower matchup is pretty sweet, especially with Beanie injured. However, am I overthinking this? Well, I AM overthinking this, but should I roll the rice and pull Foster?

Leave a link and I'll reply in kind.

Thanks,
GF

In standard scoring, I would stick with what you have slotted. But if it's PPR, Hightower would make my lineup.

I believe you are over thinking this. A. Foster and M. Forte have much more potential to produce than A. Bradshaw, who may be losing a a decent amount carries to B. Jacob as New York will be looking to really pound the ball against Carolina. I think T. Hightower will benefit from B. Wells injury, but don't think he has the ability to produce as much as your current starters.

I agree with Rabbit, but I would consider Hightower over Forte in both ppr and non ppr. With Martz, you never know how many times they are going to run the ball, and if they do he will be losing some carries to Chester Taylor, as well as going against the strength of the Lions defense, which I asssume will be their run defense (their d-line of Suh, Williams, Vandenbosch, and Avril should be able to do a better job of stopping the run than the secondary will of stopping the pass). With Beanie banged up, I think Hightower should have a field day against the Rams defense.

Help with mine?
