SuperSteelers 1 Posted September 16, 2012 Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but did go on Friday. Said he is ready to go. Are you starting him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
throttlers 0 Posted September 16, 2012 I have him on the bench this week. I am pretty much avoiding Philly players this week. The only one I would play, if I owned him, is McCoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted September 16, 2012 Benching him (i think) over Ant Brown vs the Revis-less jets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperSteelers 1 Posted September 16, 2012 Inserted a newly acquired Dexter McCluster into my starting lineup against a poor Bills team. Hopefully we see a high scoring affair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serpent 51 Posted September 16, 2012 Starting D-Jax, he's the only one fast enough to get open and Vick will probably throw 15 passes his direction. He should be able to catch at least 7 of those I'd think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,280 Posted September 16, 2012 Currently planning to bench him for TRich in the flex (non-PPR), don't like the matchup. Might go with him in PPR though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teren 2 Posted September 16, 2012 They just showed a clip of him entering Baltimore stadium with a very noticeable limp. If he doesn't go does that make D.Jackson a better play or worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swirvenirvin 25 Posted September 16, 2012 Saw him walking in with a limp also. Have him and was starting him in all 3 leagues I have him in. Don't have any better about with Garcon, Jennings and Nate Washington out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he doesn't go does that make D.Jackson a better play or worse DJax is not 100% (hamstring), and he is a guy who relies on speed. Â For some reason I think that since both are dinged, both will give it a go. How effective they'll be, meh... DJax won't be sprinting down the sideline just to clear out for Maclin; he'll save the hammy for when his number is called. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I have both (in different leagues) and will be sitting both of them for McCluster (same as OP). Actually I think McCluster is a great play this weekend so I'm not worried at all.

Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 16, 2012 My other options are Brandon Lafell and DHB in a .5 PPR across two leagues. Â I'm getting the feeling that I should roll Lafell out there with New Orleans D and Steve Smith less than 100%. Â Â Maclin for DHB I'm not so sure about. Might take my chances with Maclin. Â Â Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serpent 51 Posted September 16, 2012 So the only way to get open is to be really fast? Â Against that defense? Speed certainly helps. Vick also has accuracy issues, so it's not like running a great route and getting a bit of separation on it will help. Running slow crappy routes however won't get you open against that defense.

Raiders-Fan 0 Posted September 16, 2012 I am benching D-Jax in the one league I own him. Rather roll with DHB then risk a less then 100% WR facing a very tough Corner. It could burn me but odds are thats the better play and thats all we can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted September 16, 2012 I sat Maclin for Jamaal Charles @ Flex. It's odd that my RB's are much healthier than my WR's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New week, injury, Bmore D, ect but he had 14 targets to Lafell's 5 last week. If Lafell doesn't score last week he was no better than Louis Murphy. Â Tough call...I'm prob going with the more consistent player... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackARoot 2 Posted September 16, 2012 I'm going with Crabtree over Maclin, not sure about it but I'm worried about the reported limp. I'm ahead after Thursday night's game and can't risk getting blanked at WR3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berven 0 Posted September 16, 2012 I'm going to sit DJax in favor of Aldrick Robinson. Jackson has already proven his willingness to coast, and I just don't see the wounded warrior putting up big numbers against a tough opponent. He hasn't really shone when healthy.
