Should I bench Ryan Matthews this week?

He's going against Seattle this week so I was thinking about moving Sporles from Flex to RB and using Bowe or Torrey Smith in the flex position.

Am I crazy or not?

no it's not crazy, but it ain't pretty either. Mathews isn't going to get much, outside of some fluke play against Seattle, but the same can be said for Sproles, who would've been a major candidate for dropping altogether if not for one fluke play last week..the end of his road is well within sight.

I guess if I were in your shoes, I'd do the same, but I'd be scouring the wire for a better option than either Bowe or Sproles for that flex spot going forward.

Waiver time! Matthews against SEA stinks, obviously. You knew that, though.

Leaning towards Ahmad Bradashaw right now for possible RB pickup

I would pickup Steve Smith but I don't think I would have him for the game tonight

Much better WR options available.

Smith
Wheaton
Hopkins
Malcom Floyd

all those guys are better option than Bowe, IMHO, although, having both Steve Smith and Torrey Smith on your roster would give you headaches

Bowe, give Sproles another shot, because he's a RB on a very good running team. Bowe's 11 TD year is a long ways back in the rear view mirror, and Alex Smith isn't helping him out much

I don't want to drop Sproles because I'm weak at RB and Tate is out
