This is typical for fantasy football. The week you leave Horn riding the pine is the week he gets 36 points. I've got Horn starting in my roster and am leaving him there. He is a stud and you do or die with your studs. Hang in there and use your head when determining who you start or sit this close to the playoffs. Don't over think yourself.
I agree JEB. Horn has sucked the lately but can turn it around at any time. I watched the majority of NO's game and Horn looked healthy to me (MUCH better than he did coming off the bye - go figure). What he needs is for some team to come along and stop Deuce.
With playoffs starting it will be tough to keep playing him, but I wouldn't sit Horn for a marginal player that put up better points recently. I like to have guys in my lineup that can (and have) bust out any week and win you a game. If you have enough of those guys you'll find that you win a lot of games, even when one or two struggle. Horn is one of those guys.
If I go down I'm going down blazin' with Horn rather than smoldering with Shaw.

javon walker? muhsin muhammad? curtis conway?
horn has really hurt me the past two weeks, and after two consecutive losses, i'm looking for a different answer.

I can see the argument for Javon Walker, but Mushin Muhammad and Curtis Conway? One good game doesn't make a fantasy stud. Which brings me to my final point; kids, don't set your lineups drunk.
ghidra, if you had javon walker on your squad, would you start him over horn? things are all wierd, now. i have never doubted starting horn, but now...it's been WEEKS since he's done anything.

Yeah, I guess so. Horn might be more injured than he is letting on and he can't cover it up like he could earlier in the season. Just remember, Javon Walker is far from a sure thing himself. In the one league I have Horn, I've had him benched for a few weeks.
