I just pulled him... but I am having second thoughts.

I have Ballard, Mendenhall, Powell and Hardesty that I can plug in later in the week...

Do you guys think any of these guys will have a better day then Lynch?

IMO Ballard could if Indy doesn't get behind early, Mendenhall if healthy could do fairly well, Powell will likely get shut down, and Hardesty could have a field day if Richardson is out.

I'll hang up and listen

I wouldn't bench Lynch for any of those guys. He did pretty well against SF last season

Your call, but I would never bench a stud for a mediocre to terrible guy who happens to be starting due to a fluke injury like Ballard, Hardesty, etc. Supposedly Ballard looked terrible on the game tape

My humble opinion is that I can take losing because one of my top picks has a bad game, but I'd beat myself up if I benched a guy like Lynch for a waiver wire RB and it caused me to lose

Considering Richardson and Spiller have been better than Lynch, yes.

Not sure why u would bench Lynch against a 49s D that let Bradshaw go crazy. At half he has 55 yards on 9 carries. 6.1 YPC isn't too shabby

He is doing well so far...

He has had a history of sucking in Candlestick, and although Bradshaw buttf--ked SFO last week, that is more the exception then the rule.

I played him, so I'll take the 6 points so far, hopefully about the same in the second half, and hopefully a TD.

Not trying to high jack your thread ,but if Lynch could find the end zone a little more often, he would be a fantasy god.

It's not really fair to comment that you wouldn't bench Lynch, after the first half of the game is already over.
