Am I crazy? If not, who do I start? 100% WHIR

Postby djadrock » Fri Dec 17, 2010 5:19 am

I have ADP in both of my quarter-final games. Am I crazy to think about benching him? If not, are there any good choices for either game?

1) ADP, Forte, Jarvis-Green-Ellis (It would probably be the law firm if I made the move.)

2) ADP or Hightower (How brave am I vs Carolinas horrible run def?)

I just have this bad gut feeling about ADP this week.

Do I ride the horse that got me here or roll the dice with the frozen ground in Minnesota and Joe Webb?

It sucks. I have a very similar situation with AP and i dont know what to do either.
I dont think i would start Hightower over AP ever though, stick with AP in that one and pray
You can only start one of the those guys in the first match-up ?

I'm thinking you gotta go with AP in both scenarios, because your other options are not that great.

If you're deciding on benching him, I would personally go with Forte in the first scenario.

Play your stud player even with a poor match up. This is the unwritten rule... unless you had a viable #2 with a good match up. I dont see any of your options as viable #2's with good match ups. Just my opinion. Good luck no matter what you choose!

You have to play ADP, the only other way I would even consider is BJGE> In the playoffs, you want to go with consistency and AP and BJGE are your only choices. Go with the guy you took in the first round in your draft. Thanks for helping with mine!

I'm in this pickle as well. I've got AP, Forte, Moreno and F. Jackson. Think I'm going with Moreno and Jackson, but thought about starting AP at flex over D. Bowe and D. Branch.

As a Dolphins fan I say avoid Jackson. Their run defense has become quietly very stout. I would not play Jackson if I were you.

Thanks all....I think I agree and I tell my brother to always tell me, "Play your studs!" I guess I have to go with that.

i think it's safe to say you're in the playoffs right now, and if i was you, i'd hate to say i lost in the playoffs with ADP on my bench.

I hope your gut feel is right about AP especially since I'm playing against him this week. LOL.

Roll with your studs . . . AP. I would consider the Law Firm stud quality this year and the Pats are unstoppable right now. Not the same story in Minnesota with all kinds of problems going on. But like a previous poster said . . . you will never forget losing a playoff game with AP on the bench.
