IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 19, 2014 I really want to sit Forte against the Jets on MNF. Really really REALLY. I just haven't been able to get my finger to move to the 'sit yer ass down' button - so someone talk me into sitting Forte! .5ppr; 6pt/TD +1pt/10yards rushing/receiving/length of TD (an 80 yd TD receiving, for instance, is worth a total of 22.5 pts: .5pt/reception + 8 points for yardage + 8 points for TD length + 6 points for TD). Starters are 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, K, D/ST Roster is: Rivers Wilson <---undecided here as well Forte - in now Jennings - in now Bradshaw - in flex now Jordy - in now Antonio Brown - in now Kelce - in now, unless VD looks significantly better by the weekend Crosby Bengals Alternative players are: JStew Donald Brown Pierre Thomas Kendall Wright in flex Saints Who's gonna throw me that overwhelmingly scintillating point that convinces me to play one of these other guys instead of Forte? So far I haven't been able to convince myself, particularly since home run threats are going to be important, considering my opponent just dumped 50+ points on me with Julio (mostly) and VJAX last night.

HOKIEZ 34 Posted September 19, 2014 You are overthinking this. Forte is starting and its not close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouisC9999 3 Posted September 19, 2014 I wish I had the luxury of deciding whether to sit Forte (my RBs are Ball, Ellington, Jackson, Bradshaw, West, Asiata, and Brown ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 19, 2014 Sitting Brown and Pierre? Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 19, 2014 Sitting Brown and Pierre? Lol I hear ya, but I saw what the Jets did to Lacy at home, and I saw what the Niners did to Forte in Santa Clara. Forte has yet to get uncorked. I actually think that it is more than possible that either one of those guys will outpoint Forte this weekend. I was at the Packers/Jets game, and they STONED the running game cold. I know that Forte can catch passes out of the backfield a whole ton, but I also know that the Bears WRs could carry the day there. Ah fock it. You're right. I'll keep Forte in. I guess. I think.

IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 19, 2014 Go to the help board for lineup advice. Yes yes, thank you for the advice. This is what you said it is, but it is also a discussion on Forte, and his feeble numbers to this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,450 Posted September 19, 2014 This is why luck has little to do with fantasy football . It's bad moves like sitting Forte . Just trade him then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 20, 2014 This is why luck has little to do with fantasy football . It's bad moves like sitting Forte . Just trade him then Is it your habit to make stupid comments? Forte is obviously a great player, but that doesn't mean in the new NFL parity climate that the talent gap between teams isn't narrowing, and a great back cannot be stifled - as he was last week against a worse run D than he is about to face. We'll see if it would have been a bad move after Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 20, 2014 I believe the FB is back for CHI.. Forte is not going for 200yds vs NYJ but you have to start him. At the very least, I predict he finds pay dirt with around 100-120 total yds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks for the input guys - particularly TheUsualSuspect's point. What's that guy's name? Fiametta or something? I had forgotten about that, and that's a great point. Forte is in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NEWPOSTERGUY! 266 Posted September 20, 2014 - Forte is the most dominant RB1 in the league, as far as snap count % goes, through 2 weeks. he's gonna get his, if by attrition alone. love having him this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donkey 34 Posted September 20, 2014 i'm leaning towards benching him for Jennings. Haven't decided for sure yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
