theADDICT 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Should I bench CJ this week for Giovani Bernard? I think I should but it's hard to bench your 1st round pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acaeagle 1 Posted September 25, 2013 He is hurt. FJax likely to get most of carries, if not all. I would go Bernard all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PujolsJunkie 4 Posted September 25, 2013 Sit him. Bernard isn't some desperation play either. Spiller would need to have a big game for me to feel comfortable starting him again.

Shakey210 10 Posted September 25, 2013 Will Gio keep it up though is the real question. I still think Spiller gets his normal amount of carries in this one. Unfortunately he's going against a touch Ravens D. I like Spiller over Gio this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamirfaz 3 Posted September 26, 2013 I benched Spiller and didn't think twice about it. A bunch of low ball trade offers came in the next day. I'm not giving up on him, but I will not lose games keeping him in my starting lineup. I'm hoping he gets out of his funk while my team is still in playoff contention.

ffff 0 Posted September 26, 2013 If your only reason for keeping him in the lineup is because he was your #1 pick, then I think you can't be afraid to make a move. I benched my #1 pick Trent Richardson this week and it was hard to do, but it was the right call and it paid off. Though I do think Spiller vs Bernard is a tough choice. Spiller has been in full practice this week and seems healthy, but it is a tough Ravens defense and Fred Jackson has been splitting the work. The biggest thing working against Bernard is that the Bengals insist on splitting time with Green-Ellis (a columnist on this site compared rushing with Green-Ellis to just taking a knee), so if Bernard has a big upside if they wise up and make him the workhorse back, but who knows when that will be. Also, Cleveland's defense isn't as good as the Ravens, but they are tough defense against the rush as well. Opinions are mixed, but most of what I'm reading suggests Bernard is a better choice this week than Spiller.

packakegger 2 Posted September 26, 2013 I'd agree to go with Gio, who has looked pretty good while Spiller hasn't. I'm planning on Dmac over Spiller until Spiller shows me something. Tough to bench Spiller where you picked him, but he just isn't doing much and is in a time share.
