This should go in pro sports, but I figured I'd get more response here

Chris Brown is expecting to start against Jacksonsville instead of Steve SLaton, so I picked up Brown off waivers.

I currently have my starters as:

Fitzgerald
Colston
Benson
Moreno
Sydney Rice

Should I bench Fitzgerald becasue he's playing Minnesota, move Rice to his position and put Chris Brown in as my flex?

I hate benching stars, but no one puts up any numbers against Minnesota...idk what to do

Touch call, but I could never bench Fitz.....no matter who he is playing.

No way, even if Warner doesn't start tonight. If you're that concerned about Minny's pass D, you should be more concerned about Jax' run D, it has actually been more impressive this year. Plus, I don't trust Chris Brown not to share the load with Moats, with the real possibility Moats gets the ball more.

In our league Brown has 32 total points this year, Fitzy has 138, unless there is a HUGH reason (Fitzy might not play) I would never sit him for Brown.

That's a tough one..don't think Sproles with see much action..I'd say you almost have to go with Hightower..Johnson had a good game last week...but that was b/c Benson wasn't playing..Benson is back..so Johnson will be the second option.

Definitely not Sproles.
Johnson could possibly be a good start cuase they're playing the Lions.
Hightower is the best choice though, even though Minnesota's D is good.

Bernard Scott is inactive for todays game so LJ should get some carries vs. the Lions w/ Benson just coming back from injury

Jackson is starting today ...

Any news on Justin Gage? I rolled the dice and started Kenny Britt last week, which payed off HUGE (7 rec. for 125 yards and a TD). Considering going with him again, but not if Gage is back. Any news?
