Looking for another opinion with my team as both McCoy and McGahee were starters... I need to win this week for playoffs, the rest of my team looks like this...
Need opinions regarding my flex spot? It was pretty rough losing McGahee and Big Ben....
Planning on starting the following, with the exception of the Flex spot:
QB: Dalton RB1: M. Lynch RB2: B. Brown WR1: AJ Green WR2: Alexander TE: Gresham Flex: M. Wallace K. Gostkowski D/ST: Rams
Bench:
E. Manning L. McCoy B. Wells J. Blackmon D. Heyward-Bey H. Miller
I wouldn't start Wallace, at least not yet. There's too much doubt in knowing how well Batch will play. Ya its a good matchup but still, 3rd string QB situation means baaaad things for that teams WR's. I would go with either Wells or Blackmon. Blackmon is a bigger gamble, but higher upside if Henne plays with the same intensity as last week I think. Wells when he was healthy earlier in the year wasn't very successful, and Im not a big fan. I think LaRod is a better back and much more explosive (something the cardinals lack otherwise), but Wells is a starting RB so there's always points to be had there.
Its a toss up in my opinion. They're both WR2's on their teams. Moore has developed into Palmer's go to guy and Shorts has been the most consistent reciever for the Jag's. I think the tie breaker is the matchup. Titans D is just downright atrocious, whereas the Bengals have been getting healthier and stronger as of late. I would roll the dice on Blackmon. I am, I can tell you that. I had to choose between Wallace, Hilton and Blackmon. Wallace is a no no until Ben returns, and with Avery playing Hilton splits his looks with him. So Blackmon seems like the wise choice there.
