Am I an idiot for thinking of benching Antonio Brown this week?

Brown is going up against the #1 pass D in the league. He has vanilla, checkdown Vick and they are on the road. Am I dumb for thinking Kendall Wright and Allen Hurn could both turn in better fantasy days then him?

I know the rule is always start your studs, but I just don't feel like Brown is a stud with Vick as a QB.

What say you?

No. It's entirely possible. But if he somehow had 100 yards and 2 TDs and Hurns had 20 yards, you would feel like an idiot.

Hurns and Hunter may have better days, but I wouldn't bench Brown.

i can live with him having a bad game. i cant live with him going off on my bench because i wanted to play kendall wright and allen hurns instead.

San Diego wont stop him. Vick may, but that defense wont.

Yes. Those people could have better games. But you don't bench brown.

I agree. Even though garbage arse Vick is starting, you never bench your stud WR.

Brown is your first round pick, I've learned from my mistakes in the past and the only way I sit a first round pick is if they are ruled out for the game. I don't care if they are playing against a brick wall, I drafted him in the first round for a reason.

Listen to the others. You are overthinking it. Brown can do a lot with a little all by himself. If Vick can get the ball to him, he can make some big plays with just YAC.

Start Brown.

while Vick did look bad, keep in mind that was a short week he suddenly became the starter. An extended week with all of the reps should help some. I can't bench a guy like brown.

Brown also dropped a 40 yd td pass that hit him in the hands.

Not an idiot for benching AB for a capable replacement. Hurns/Wright are not those replacements though.

Good WRs rarely reach their numbers with the backup in.
