Am I crazy to start 3 Cowboys this week? WHIR

Postby timtobey18 » Wed Oct 27, 2010 5:00 pm

I'm in a tough situation. I have Eli Manning and Ray Rice on a bye.
My starting roster looks like this:

Kitna
Thomas Jones
Felix Jones
Cedric Benson
Greg Jennings
Marques Colston
Jason Witten
Washington D/ST
Vinatieri

Should I bench Felix for a WR at flex. I have Harvin, Welker, and M. Williams. Or should I stick with three Cowboys.

I have no other decent option at QB except Favre, but I don't know he will play. Is starting three Cowboys (Kitna, F. Jones, Witten) too much?

I'm in the exact same position. Kitna, Austin, and Jones. I think they should be fine against Jacksonville. They got lit up pretty well two weeks ago.

Kitna's not a bad QB, so you should be ok against Jacksonville, but for future reference having multiple players on a single team is bad for fantasy.

I agree it's usually kinda risky to start a lot of players on the same team. However, with some teams that's simply not the case. In your case Kitna has a great match-up to come back into the league, will be dumping it to Witten and Felix quite a bit. It's pretty obvious Felix > Barber and Kitna will prob also be hitting Roy Williams a lot, albeit you didn't mention him.

Then there are guys like me... with Miles Austin who hope everything I said is not true and Kitna goes deep to austin ;-D

I think the only Cowboy in question is Felix? I think he is one of the guys that will benefit from this no Romo the most, because the cowboys need to run more with an older, Rusty QB. I'm not a HUGE fan of him @ qb.. Are there any other wavier options? Stafford? Fitz?

Help?

without a bye week to get acclimated to a new QB delivering the ball I see alot of drops and miscues by the WR's. Kitna will go into check down mode early. This is good for Witten and Fjones. Jones especially as I also see the run/pass ratio coming back to normal as Garrett will try to take some pressure off Kitna and try to pound the rock.
