Ben Tate

[7NationalChampionships]

I picked him up off waivers just cause he was available. What is the thinking on this guy?

I have Peterson, Forte, and SJax starting, so he will be riding the pine, Maybe use him as trade bait for a TE or WR?

Actually he has a lot more value than most think... I'd even start him over SJax!

He's almost a gaurantee to get ~20 carries per game! And he has, and will, get double digit fantasy points on a consistent basis.

Stash him just in case last week was a fluke for SJax.............his schedule for the last few weeks is pretty tasty............me, I have to start him. Really wish his rib,ankle,knee,shoulder,toe and whatever else ails him would heal though................

Maybe not this week though............I think he will score double digits but SJax should have a good game against GB in shitty weather.........regardless I'd keep Tate.

Damn, so y'all think I should start him over SJax?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

I think they both have good games this week. What scares me is the short turnaround for Tate and he hasn't practiced this week. Added to the benching against Jax at home 2 weeks ago and I'm a bit concerned advising somebody to start him over a guy who has been "hot" over the last 2 weeks. If the stars aligned for both guys this week I would say Tate has a higher ceiling.......

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Could be a coinflip... But like you said, hardly trustworthy because of the injuries/benching. I have him in one of my leagues and I'm starting him over Donald Brown & Lamar Miller who both have decent potential this week.

I just put Tate in the starting line up over Sjax. Have a couple more hours to decide, but that's who I'm going with right now.

 

[7NationalChampionships]

I just switched Sjax back into the FLEX.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I would go with SJax in Green Bay.

Good thing I didn't start Tate. He finished with 5 points lol. Hopefully Jackson does better than that.

As I was reading through the thread I was thinking.."I hope he didnt"....then you did...then you didnt...thanks for the roller coaster ride lol

Glad you didnt for your sanity....now hopefully Sjax gets more that 5
