Who are you benching to start Matt Asiata?

[ggroovy17 0]

I picked up Matt Asiata as soon as I heard the AP news because we have a deep roster. Our scoring system is TD-heavy, so I am starting Matt Asiata over Larry Fitzgerald at flex. I am curious whom other owners are benching for Asiata.

 

 

Foles

Lacy

Gore

Asiata

Marshall

Maclin

Gostowski

Houston

 

Stacy and Fitzgerald on the bench.

[Djgb13 2,338]

Starting him over Ellington and Michael Floyd

[Cuse9 128]

I'm sitting him. I just picked him up to block anyone else from getting him.

[iham32 7]

Staring over Stacy, Lamar Miller, Terrence west.

[TAM2020 0]

I'm in the same boat. Don't know what to start. I'm starting Lacy and need to decide between 1 of these guys. Ugh

 

R. Jennings

Ellington

Asiata

[ZeroTolerance 583]

I have a mess...I will start Gore, then get to pick one of these 3 :vomit:

 

Stacy

J Bell

Asiata

[Phil Simms 11 128]

I'm in the same boat. Don't know what to start. I'm starting Lacy and need to decide between 1 of these guys. Ugh

R. Jennings

Ellington

Asiata

Out of those 3 it is not a difficult decision.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,658]

Starting over keenan allen trich and jordan matthews.

[Borat33 17]

Nobody. Just picked him up to f the Peterson owner.

[hotgumbo1 12]

I am bencing Peterson and starting Asiata.

[We Tigers 71]

Debating between him and Fred Jackson, both over Keenan Allen. I'll probably go Asiata in the end. I'm starting Ellington, too, and consider him well ahead of both those guys.

[Bills04 46]

Don't like Lacy's matchup vs. NYJ DEF. Think he will be too RZ TD dependent, and concerned about Kuhn being a vulture.

[Bobbyn2022 53]

Greene vs Dallas but I'm not happy about it.

[rgn22 1]

Not sure yet if I am starting Asiata, but I might bench Brandin Cooks to start Asiata. Still trying to decide.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,789]

I am starting him over R Bush v Carolina

[ralphster 274]

I might start him over Doug Martin, Rashad Jennings and/or Zac Stacy...

[Huh? 7]

Peterson.

[jerryskids 5,593]

League 1, may start over Ingram (haven't decided yet) .5 pt PPR.

League 2, starting over Ivory. Non PPR.

League 3, bench, I'm stacked. Offered a trade to the AP owner. PPR

League 4, IBL, bench (starting Charles and Murray). PPR.

[SNZ11 5]

Probably over Doug Martin

[murf74 461]

I might start him over Doug Martin, Rashad Jennings and/or Zac Stacy...

Rashaad and Vjax may sit in flex for him? Not sure how I feel yet

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 269]

starting this ham n' egger over some of the players I see in this thread is a complete LOLZ

 

Mckinnon will seize command by mid second quarter.

 

HTH.

[Cretins 21]

Someone in my league beat me to him, but I managed to grab McKinnon. I was planning to sit Joique Bell vs Carolina this week, but since I now have AP on my bench I'm debating McKinnon or Bell. If I had Asiata I think it would be a no brainer. That NE defence looked horrible stopping the run last week. One of the Minni backs is likely going to have a huge day. The question is which one.

 

Then again, Patterson could just take all the running plays this week and really screw with our heads.

Is benching green vs Dallas a bad decision? It was either that it I don't get him...

[Skinny_Bastard 154]

Do some of you even understand the game?

You just don't throw a kid out there with 0 RB experience ever!

[Skinny_Bastard 154]

Asiata needs to be in starting lineups. Don't buy into the Mckkinon hype.

[murf74 461]

Wishful thinking on those that don't have Asiata

[Skinny_Bastard 154]

Take a look at snap counts last week.

 

14 for Asiata

3 for McKinnon

 

This is Asiata's job until injury or week 14-17 (depending on playoff picture).

[ThatDude 9]

Starting Asiata over Ingram and Sproles in one league

 

Starting Asiata over Bush in another league

 

 

112 yards rushing, 1TD, 3 rec for 27 yards

[jerryskids 5,593]

League 1, may start over Ingram (haven't decided yet) .5 pt PPR.

League 2, starting over Ivory. Non PPR.

League 3, bench, I'm stacked. Offered a trade to the AP owner. PPR

League 4, IBL, bench (starting Charles and Murray). PPR.

In League 1, I realized that with Jeffrey being gimpy, I'm really between starting Asiata/Ingram at RB and Asiata/Ingram/Cooks/John Brown at flex. I think I'm going to roll with the RB in flex; basically I'll start both Ingram and Asiata.

[GS3K 12]

Guys Asiata ran a 4.81 forty at the combine.

 

I repeat 4.81 forty.

[mrmostlymittens 7]

Gerhart, Spiller, Bush

 

Guys Asiata ran a 4.81 forty at the combine.

I repeat 4.81 forty.

 

All the more impressive that he made the league.

Wiki has him at 4.77.

If RB was all about speed the guys running 4.2-4.35 wouldn't mostly play CB or WR.

[Mr Neil 63]

I repeat 4.81 forty.

What's a 40 time gotta do with a 2nd and goal on the 2 yd line.

[GS3K 12]

It means that he won't reach the second level. It means he won't reach the corner. It means he won't juke or elude defenders.

[mrmostlymittens 7]

It means that he won't reach the second level. It means he won't reach the corner. It means he won't juke or elude defenders.

 

40 time doesn't really correlate to juke moves or elusiveness...besides he's a power back.

[kilroy69 1,074]

man I hope he explodes for something like 24 carries for 125 yards and 2 tds with 4 catches for 25 yards. I would love to flip him on tuesday.

[Bust_Her_Posey 3]

Flexing him over Edelman

[jerryskids 5,593]

In one league I'm starting Patterson over Asiata in the flex (PPR). I think Patterson gets a ton of looks tomorrow.

We have two games to judge him on. Both great fantasy numbers no matter his 40 tome

People aren't getting that a guy like Patterson doesn't benefit from a 'ton of looks". His value comes from deception and misdirection to hit that home run. With AP out there is much less deception and much more attention/respect given to Patterson I think. If they just gave him the ball every play he'd average 2 yards per touch. Toby Gerhart gets a ton of looks. So does Doug Martin. Patterson's yards per touch will go down and his uptick of touches won't be enough to compensate for it.
