To start CP or not bench CP (Fantasy Football)

[Sowers]

I can bench him this week and still have a great team, what do you guys think I should do. Here is my lineup

QB D. Culpepper
WR T. Owens
WR C. Chambers
RB E. James
RB B. Westrbrook
W/R R. Wayne
TE H. Miller

BN C. Portis
BN E. Manning
BN J. Addai
BN D. Stallworth

[RyansRangers]

westbrook is probable too so its a toss up

[Hershey Pork]

How'd it feel to have Culpeper screw you over? I had Chambers starting for me in one league, and C-Pep just couldn't get the ball to him.

I'm trying to decide whether to start Betts or CP, myself. This is a tough one.

[Sowers]

If only Culpepper wouldn't have thrown the two damn picks... and they marched down the field n gave it to R. Brown which sucked for Fantasy points

[mrs_pink]

I have CP too, but I think I'm going to start Frank Gore instead. It doesn't appear that CP will be starting anyway, his role will just be a backup to Betts.

[H-O-G]

Even if Portis starts, don't expect a 2-4 TD game from portis, we will be very pass heavy if Portis is starting. If you want your BEST chance to do well in FF dont start CP, Id start westrbook and E.James this week.

[wshngtn1]

Keep him on the bench. And be careful about starting Betts too, since Portis may make an appearance and they may bring in Duckett at times.

I'd go with Westbrook this week. He's healthy and they were even debating giving him punt return duties. I think they decided to go with Sheppard for punt returns though. He catches a lot too, so I think he's a better pick than any of our backs...THIS week.

[fdarugar]

F it, I say start him...after Gibbs sees one 10+ yard run, he will get most of the carries.

[Cope]

What would yall recommend if you had Portis/Betts, Corey Dillon, and Ahmad Green. I think betts and dillon is a better bet than green since he plays the bears...

[dreamshatterer]

Hell, I have Betts starting for my fantasy team.

[blitzpackage]

I pulled him for Fast Willie the other night and it worked out alright. Now it's just wait and see between CP, Warrick Dunn, and Jamal Lewis for me......

Same. But since I'm stacked at RB (i have 7...but im planning on releasing betts on tuesday and getting another reciever) i might just bench em both

FANTASY LOSER....NEVER PICK FROM THE .

DIVISION IF YOUR A TRUE SKINS FAN,.

THEN'S PLENTY OF FISH IN THE

SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skinsngibbs4life]

Right now, I have Portis benched. I have Westbrook starting against a horrible texans defense, and Deshaun foster getting the nod against ATL. I might just play it safe and keep portis out for the week.

[Sowers]

it was my first draft... and it was automated cus i forgot when the draf time was.

[Mackdaddydean]

Bench

600th post woot!

[Stuckinphilly1]

it was my first draft... and it was automated cus i forgot when the draf time was.

That makes me feel a lot better, I hate the "Fantasy Geeks" that don't stand behind their team, if you couldn't tell. I don't have one player from the East on either my or my wife's team and I drafted for both...and of course her's is likely better then mine will be, drafted by the book for her, the heart for me.

She has CP and Steve Smith this week, and playing me HAHA!!! I picked up Betts for her so I can make the game time decision, no backs left and she only had Sellers or Lendell White to fill in. Lendell will be a stud but not for another 6 to 8 weeks.

[Storm0304]

Benched Portis and am starting Gore from the 49'ers. Figure they playing the Cardinals so he might have a decent game. Portis needs to get back quick. Need him in the lineup. I dont trust betts and am not too familiar with Duckett

Heath Miller is my TE as well. I was jumping up and down Thursday night. Why on earth would you start Pepp @ Pitt over Eli at home vs. Indi? Bad move!

Depends on if you play fantasy just to play or for money.

Personally, I play for fun and money. I do avoid all Cowboy players, but anyone else is fair game. Of course I normally use another option when one of my players is facing the Skins.

But with that said, my best squad this year in my most expensive league consists of Donovan McNabb and Reggie Brown. Both starting Sunday against the Texans as well.

Yeah, my bad....I drafted Brown for her, she's an Eagles fan and it was the last receiver I picked for her and have him starting this week in place of Smith. I'm only in one money league, only $100 so pretty much for fun but still have a hard time picking anyone in the east since we see them twice.

[Monkskin81]

Clinton Portis is in my startingline up. The way I see it, he went from not playing to maybe to "you'll see 2-6 in week 2" and now he's going to back up. my prediction if he keeps "backup role" is: 57yds 1td, if he does assume starting role then I say: 108yds 2td.

[chaz13]

When playing fantasy don't ever draft w/ your heart unless you like being a perennial loser. You don't control what players do on the field, so always draft the best player available no matter who he plays for. It is possible that a player on an opposing team can have a good game against the skins and still lose. If I have a player facing the skins I root for the skins to win, but the other team is going to get some yards I just hope it's my player that gets them, and loses.

I would never have any Dallas Scum on my team.:dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck

[rlhjr34]

I also need some help. Here are my RB's

Portis/Betts
Thomas Jones
Jamal Lewis
Steven Jackson

I'm thinking Steven Jackson and T.Jones, or do you think it's safe to go with Portis with the current info we have about Portis playing?

[Idaho fan]

I would think twice about starting E. James also - I keep seeing his name come up as a player to sit on Sunday. I have CP on one of my two teams and have decided to sit him and start D. Foster in his place. I think the Skins will pull out to a two score lead and Portis will ride the pine once that happens no matter what.

With regards to picking other NFC East players in FF. I do all I can to avoid them, but it will always happen where you need a QB and you are choosing between McNabb and J.P. Losman. If you want to win you FF league you take McNabb if you are an idiot you take Losman. There are a few exceptions such as cowboys who I avoid at almost all costs and thankfully I have no members of broke back nation.

[twenty-eight]

I wouldnt start CP

[Dweezel]

I have a tough call on what to do. I have spots for 2 RB, 2 WR and RB/WR flex. My starting RBs and WRs are
S. Jackson
D. Foster
J. Walker
R. Williams

I have Portis/Betts, Marion Barber, T. Housh., D. Bennet, D. Gabriel and K. Curtis. I originally had Housh to start and avoid the whole situation, but he is probably not going to play. Now, I think I may just start CP and hope for the best.

[Mr. S]

I have Portis in one league, and I don't think ill start him either.

BTW, I don't have any Cowboys players, but Giants and Eagles are fair game. I would take Jason Witten though. I mean, I would easily take losses in all 7 of my fantasy leagues if the Redskins win, they are my top priority. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with drafting enemy players, I probably hate most of these players in the league anyways.

[mroctober]

it's a no-brainer. Westbrook has been pronounced 100% healthy, is playing one of the worst Ds in the league and should have a great game. I wish I had your options. I have to play either Portis or Betts.

As for having NFC East players on your team, you're either playing to win or you're not. You try to get the best players out there. I actually end up with lots of NFC East players because I know them well. My QB is E. Manning. By RBs are Portis and Westbook. My TE is Cooley. And my WRs include Terry Glenn and Brandon Lloyd. I guarantee that when Cooley is picking his fantasy team, he would pick an NFC East player in a heartbeat if he's the best player on the board -- is he a traitor, too?
