Am I crazy?

[Trudem]

Im benching Antonio Brown this week for Pierre Garcon. Brown has never scored a TD on Baltimore and 6 of the last 7 games held under 60 yards.

After seeing the skins play in preseason and their first game ..... you may not be crazy but I think you're standing on the line. ....

 

[Trudem]

Garcon caught 8 of his 9 targets and they are playing the Jags without Cyprien, who is the key to that secondary.

i question your other options at wr/ and flex

This^...

I would not say you are crazy, but I also think you are greatly overvaluing Brown's history here.

For his entire career, until last season, he was the second option. Last year, he become lead dog, but did not really figure out how to be productive in that role until the second half of the season when he really went off.

Brown's numbers against the Ravens are more a product of his past role than a sign of things to come. I would start Brown with confidence in this one.

This is the dynasty league where you are super-loaded, right?

I can see making that move, it's not like Garcon is a horrible option this week. Plus Antonio Brown plays in the dreaded Thursday no offensive production game. However if it was me I still couldn't sit Brown just because the Redskins offense has looked too horrible for me to play anybody there regardless of whether Cyprien plays or not.

10 catches for 77...DJax another 8 for peanuts, no scores between the two of them. RGIII averaging 7 yards per attempt.. The volume is there but the points aren't. I'd start Brown against Seattle even if his history was 1 catch in 10 games over Garcon, just because I know Big Ben doesn't have problems throwing TD's

 

[Trudem]

No this is not my dynasty league.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'd go with Brown still. Any volume Garcon gets can be matched by Brown. Although points may be harder to come by Thursday @Bal, Washington's potential for points should lean toward Alf and DJax, IMO.

ok so its not your dynasty league who are your other options?

nothing worth mentioning

Those are the only two options.

i dont see why u are reluctant to say? i mean who else are you starting that you would potentially bench a top 10-15 guy

 

[kramer1]

You drafted a 1400 yard WR and are going to bench him. Yes, you are crazy. End of that discussion.

Garçon is the only one worthy of starting. Only other option is James Jones.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

let me clarify the question:
who are your other starters and bench players at WR?
Please include RBs and or TEs if you have a flex spot.

that will help make this a better discussion for WSIS analysis

 

[Trudem]

It's the suicide league.

Three WRs start and I have Cobb, Patterson, Brown, Garçon and Jones. No flex so RBs and TEs don't matter.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

id go with brown (sorry so late) but garcon does get steady yardage

 

[Trudem]

I know the game isn't over but I should have went with my gut. I know better than to listen to Kramer
