The Jokeman Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 LaDainian Tomlinson (against Cincinatti) and RB Rashard Mendenhall (against Green Bay). Should I sit either one and play Chris Jennings (or Jerome Henderson as have both) who have a weak matchup against the Chiefs or should I use one of them at my Flex position? I'm hesitant though as usually use my flex for a WR and they have more favorable match ups this week. As if use my studs at RB then I have some options for FLEX between Jennings (or Henderson) again vs KC, Dwayne Bowe (fresh off suspension) vs Cleveland, Austin Collie vs Jacksonville or TJ Houshmanzadeh vs Tampa Bay? EDIT: Also worth noting that I'm in a PPR, so you guys convinced me that I should start LT and Mendenhall at RB. Now I still need help at my FLEX Position. I can chose between Jennings (or Harrison), Dwayne Bowe, Austin Collie or TJ Housh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanGuzman Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I wouldn't bench LT, Cincy run defense isn't the same without Peko in the middle + norv turner has shown willingness to get LT the ball at the goal line. The Packers defense is worrisome for Mendenhall but I think he is more trustworthy than either Harrison or Jennings - - although if reports have one of two browns RB getting the majority Carries maybe roll with them. Is Arian Foster (Hou Rb) owned in your league? Foster ended up with 17 touches lastweek and Kubiak sounds inclined to start him this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I can't pick anyone up. As we have an auction based waiver system and I blew the rest of my auction money on Harrison as I lost Steve Slaton and needed a replacement and overbid on Harrison after he had his big showing against San Diego. Though I was fortunate the week before to snag Jennings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Jerome Harrison has two weak defenses the next two weeks (Kansas City, Oakland), so if you feel like taking a risk, why not give him a try. I'd start LT either way, whenever they get near the endzone, he always gets the TD it's like clockwork. I have him on my team and he's had 5 straight weeks with a TD.

Housh -- Burleson has a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to go against the Bucs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well I went with Jennings at Flex as all the reports had him starting. Yet he was the worst option I could have chose yet had I gone with Burleson, Collie or Bowe I still would have lost. Of course had I played Harrison well that's another story.
