Should I bench Antonio Brown with Ben out?

Standard league bonus +100 receiving yds
My other option is Marvin Jones vs Redskins this week
ETA: Steelers vs. Pats

I would sit Brown, Landry has shown NO ability to get the ball to Brown. Fwiw I heard Mike Florio on the radio this AM say he has a hunch that Ben plays this week.

Yea it would be great I've got either Ben or brown on all of my teams. Bye week after this one so he may as well wrap it up good and give it a go then he has 2 weeks to rest.

Why wouldn't you want him to sit and rest for 2 weeks? One week won't make or break your playoff hopes, Boom

If Marvin Jones was my other option then yea I would. My best option is Steve Smith so... Frick me

Bens a tough guy he can play through it. I am .500 or better in all leagues so not a make or break week but I like to get that rd1 bye if possible.

I have AB in the range of the #10-12 WR this week and he always has upside for much more. What's great about AB is that he can play the dink and dunk position as well and rack up yards that way; which is likely more of what the Steelers will do with Landry Jones this week. Ultimately, I think AB is too good not to start.
Marvin Jones is also a good option. How many WRs can you start? Why not start both? The makeup of your team and the positions you can start matter a ton here. If, like most leagues, you can start 3 WRs (2 WR and a FLEX) I don't see how AB isn't one of the starters.

QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, K, D - no flex
Brandon Marshall is my other WR

Very nice WR core 
I'd still start AB over Jones. I just think the target volume will still be there, and if the Steelers get down they will have to throw. All 3 are good options for this week though.

L Jones played a whole game last year against the Chiefs, Brown was targeted 8 times and posted 6/124.

brown had a solid day in Landry's lone start, it was Vick that absolutely killed him

thanks for the stats. i researched AB's stats last year with Ben out but didnt know what games Landry and Vick started

That was also the only time Landry Jones knew the entire week that he was going to be the starter. Matthew Berry was saying this last night on Countdown. Your starting AB.

Yeesh... talk about artificially making your league feel extremely small, particularly at WR.
In the one league I commish, I've gone the opposite direction: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, WR/TE, FLEX, D - no kicker. Because frick kickers.
Not that this helps you any. Just felt like bitching about your roster setting

i agree. ive been in this league for 11 years now and they refuse to update (ppr or Flex.) My bench players can start every week (at least most of them.) i always start the wrong guys tho
ETA: i'll be starting a thread soon on who to start at RB

memory failed me a little re: last season. Good news to hear even though I still think Jones is garbage.
