He has Cutler, should I start Alshon to balance it out?

[TheErosion 6]

Bears have a huge matchup against the Giants so Cutler should go off.

 

I have Alshon on my bench but can plug him in and help balance out the game.

 

Problem is I have Cobb, Decker, and Reggie Bush (flex) in those spots and can't see pulling one of them to put him in. Just play your best players no matter what? Or is Jeffery this week better than one of them?

 

I will help in return, post a link.

I recently had a player who started wayne and fleener against my team because I had Luck. This obviously was a train wreck for him because it was TY Hilton all day.

 

I'm a fan of putting your best players in the roster and not worrying about balancing things out. It could really bite you in the end.

 

Here is mine if you have a moment.

Yeah these questions get asked all the time and the answer is simple. Play who you think gets the most points. Dont worry about who your opponent has. The only thing that sucks is, it makes it hard to root for your guy if he hes helping your opponent at the same time.

I agree with the second poster. The theory of balancing out or double points for starting a QB WR combo is a myth. Points are points, that's all there is to it. The only way this theory works is if you have a QB and your opponent has one of his WR. Stick with your lineup the way it is

I agree with the other guys, start your best players and get as many points as you can, good example with Luck+Hilton.

Glad I took your advice guys! Jeffrey had one catch for 27 yards. Expecting better production out of my other guys. The Luck and Hilton example was spot on.
