Do the Unthinkable...Bench AP??? WHIR

Postby bstock123 » Sat Dec 18, 2010 8:01 pm

Semifinals week in my 12-team, non-PPR league. I ended up with the best record at 11-2, and the #1 overall seed. Adrian Peterson was my bell-cow this year, however I am actually thinking of BENCHING All Day this week! Every possible variable that I can think of goes against him.....cold weather, missing two OGs from a line that wasn't run blocking all that well anyway, 3rd or 4th string QB starting so Bears stack the box, Chicago is a top-3 run defense, crappy field turf with no heating elements, coming off a bit of an injury last week and listed as Questionable, defense seemed to "pack it in" last week so Vikes could get down early...

I wouldn't otherwise consider it, but I have decent other options with decent matchups. Arian Foster is a no-brainer start. I can use a RB as a flex (no WR on my roster is an option). So my question is, start two of three:

Ahmad Bradshaw v. Phi
Adrian Peterson v. Chi
Jonathan Stewart v. Ari

I'm in the same boat as you. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me, but I'm starting McFadden and Stewart instead of AP because of the reasons that you just listed. Help with mine please:

I think I would it AP, but any 2 that you pick should be fine. Definitely Stewart though. Hope Goodson continues to get his licks in also.

Bench Bradshaw and reap the 100+ and at least 1 TD ADP will get you.
