Start two of three DBs

Derwin James vs. Denver
Reed Blankenship vs. Dallas
Xavier McKinney vs. GB

Now FYI.
I fully plan on starting the one most of you may ignore.
I plan on starting Xavier McKinney (unless someone comes up with a good enough reason not to.)

So my planned dilemma is who of the other two to start with him?

Not even sure if there are any IDP players here to give me sound advice honestly?
Name recognition has no place in this decision.

Well, I would go Derwin James.

Dunno your rational behind Xavier, but--
Name brand, proven commidity- Derwin
Matchup- IDP's don't score if they ain't on the feild, Dallas has the best offense = Blankenship
Playing vs the QB most prone to dumb shit- Derwin..RW has been horrible at times, takes way too many sacks, and Dwrwin does get sacks at times.
I just don't a reason to start Xavier over the others. They've all scored pretty similarly all year round, so I'd stick with the guy I trust.. that's Derwin

tackles are the safest consistent points.
Derwin was actually a draft pick of mine but was inconsistent to the point I benched him. However he had to play last week because of a bye week & lucky me. He did play well.
Xavier is consistently getting double digit tackles. then add in the other stuff as a bonus. (I know it surprised me to when I looked to find another DB a few weeks ago)
Reed was pretty consistent, but kinda blah last week, while Derwin picked it up. Derwin only has one sack this year. which was.... you guessed it. Last week.

So after talking with you on this subject. & looking back the last 4 weeks or so.
leaning towards Xavier & Derwin :suds:

but who knows? I may change my mind 7 more times before sunday LOL

I would bench Xavier. If you must start him, I think I start Blankenship next to him and bench Derwin.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

My rule of thumb is to play the IDP whose offense is trash - which means the defense will be on the field longer.
McKinney

It is close but I would start Derwin over Blankenship. Broncos will try to run the ball giving Derwin tackle opportunities.

I needed every point to win this week.
Luckily I picked right.
Blankenship was the least amount of points this week. However he got concussed & didnt finish the game.
