Hillman

[romeo212000]

Is Hillman a better flex start than Benjamin this week?

It's about the same, IMO. The Broncos are supposed to get Montee Ball back, but Hillman should still see the majority of the carries this week. Manning is probably going to be pass happy to make up for the loss to the Pats last week. Philly D is pretty bad against the pass though.

Denver is at Oakland.

Panthers play the Eagles......

Got it. I misunderstood, but that's a good point. Seems to me that Hillman is probably the safer play, but Benjamin might have the higher upside.

Kind of a tough decision, but one I'd like to have. I'd probably go with Benjamin, just for the fact that he'll want to make up for last week.

Then again, if the Broncs go up big early, with that garbage time...that's actually another point. If that happens, do they give Montee some time and give Hillman a break? Too many questions...I think Benjamin is safer.

Yeah, but how often does Peyton Manning stop throwing the ball to run the clock? In Denver's wins, they are outscoring their opponents 204-113, but Brock Osweiler has only attempted one pass all season. Peyton Manning almost refuses to come out of games.

LOL I should qualify all my responses on this board by noting that my team is 3-6!

Hillman. The probability of the Broncos scoring 40 is high and Hillman should get a piece.

Hm... I wonder if the Broncos will actually be fully focused on this one. Easy to pencil in the W. Demolishing the Raiders probably isn't interesting to this group.

The most motivated guy on the team might be Ball.

My Boss just tried getting me to bet lunch at Hooters on this game using the exact same argument. I can't imagine the Donkeys not being ready to destroy the Raiders, so no, I didn't bet this time around.

On occasion the Raiders do reach out and slap the Broncos when they really shouldn't be able to, but I'm not seeing it this year.

But I do hope you're dead on with Ball being the most motivated guy. Could really use a little boost on that front

That possibility has also crossed my mind. On the other hand, Denver hasn't lost two in a row since Manning's third game with the Broncos and the team has beaten Oakland pretty handily all four times that Manning has faced them. Not sure what will happen, but I'm going to start the Denver defense on my fantasy team.

That would be the only reason I would even think about sitting Hillman.....................then I'd slap myself upside the head and put him in.

 

[HizzleRocker]

I would go Hillman.

I'm not so sure about Denver not being focused...after that loss, and playing the hated Raiders? I'd think they want blood.

i dunno... is it possible to still hate the Raiders? They seem so harmless. Like somebody on the politics thread getting all steamed up about the Whigs.
