Benching LJ?

Recommended Posts

O.k., LJ's been killing me and he's not 100% vs. S.D. But I know as soon as I bench him he'll go off. I can put any of these in for him this week:

 

- Brian Leonard @ DAL

- Jerricho Cotchery @ BUF

- Bernard Berrian @ DET

- Braylon Edwards vs BAL

 

Stand pat with LJ, or bench him? (6 points all TDs, 10 yards/point, NO point per reception)

Rotoworld and Yahoo are indeed saying that Michael Bennett is expected to get more carries this week due to LJ not being 100%. I can see KC benching him if they fall behind early. So, I would probably go with Edwards since he's been hot and Baltimore has been thrown on this year.

Very difficult call, assume LJ was your first pick likely in the #2 or #3 spot in your draft- that is what is causing you pain.

 

However ask yourself this- would you draft him in the first round right now?? Dont get stuck on how much he cost you or you will be looking up from the cellar of your league.

 

Real question is do you have a better play with your scoring? LJ has a stronger chance of a TD then any of the ones you list even with a very poor offense and O line as well as a tough matchup. Your scoring favors a TD- so if you think one of your WR is going to put a TD in then you play them. I wouldnt bench LJ for these options IF HE REALLY PLAYS TODAY however I would be willing to bench him.

 

Leonard has a flat difficult day ahead

Cotchery could be out of sync with Pennington-- would get my nod if I had to pick one of these- or if LJ isnt going to actually play (rumors abound that he will sit).

Berrian with Griese

Edwards vs a very difficult D

 

Who are your RBs on your bench?

Berrian is the only semi-worthy consideration this week in my opinion due to the upgrade at qb (anything is better than Rex) and the matchup with Detroit...however, I'd stick with LJ if I were you because I think he's not as risky of a choice.
