ETA: ** READ THIS ** The issue is I have to either sit Alshon or Nicks tonight to make room for a questionable Calvin on Sunday (which includes benching Torrey Smith).

CJ is a current a game-time decision against a solid Cleveland defense (and Joe Haden) on the road.

3-WR League

I have:

Hakeem Nicks (THURSDAY NIGHT) - he'll be garbage time gold once NYG gets down 28-3.

Torrey Smith - playing at home against the 26th best fantasy D against WRs

Alshon Jeffrey (THURSDAY NIGHT) - After last week's 30 point game, I don't think I can sit him

Calvin Johnson - Questionable, GTD

Never sit your studs.

If Calvin sees the field, you play him, no matter what.

I mean I'm sitting Antonio brown for Jeffrey but damn I couldn't sit Calvin if I had him. I got dez and would never sit him.

and when B-Marsh gets all the early love then they force feed Forte the rest of the game and Cutler doesnt throw for any more than 220 and 2 Tds...what will you say?..

Yes, Joe Haden will blanket Megatron if he plays Sunday, but still if tron plays....he will ball...NEVER SIT YOUR STUDS...especially if he's the best at his position....

My combined record is 10-5 this year so...

The whole point is that I have 3 good WRs with good matchups, or a guy who might not even play.

I don't sit studs when they are healthy, I'm not a gotdayum retard. This situation is unique because I have 2 guys who play tonight in what should be a high scoring game.

Calvin was "supposed to play" last week too.

I'm not saying start mega if he doesn't play. But if Mega plays, you start him. Simple as that.

Yes I would start him over Torrey Smith if both are active on Sunday. Again, I don't sit my 1st round pick ever if he's 100% and a lock to play.

However, this would require to me sit either Nicks or Alshon tonight, and both have a good matchup. I'm not interested in benching Smith vs. GB, so that's my current lean.

So my ranks right now are:

Torrey
Alshon
Nicks

So I can either:

a) sit Nicks and hope he doesn't go off
b) play both Nicks and Alshon and have to make the choice between a questionable Tron and 100% healthy Torrey Smith vs a shitty secondary

I'm actually thinking about sitting him and starting Andre Johnson. I have a lot of good WRs(Mega, D. Jackson, Marshall, and Johnson).

Just not sure if I trust him this week.

Terrance was a nice start last week. I put alongside Kris Durham (30 yards and a TD) for a cool 30+ from "unknown" receivers.

If Calvin plays, you start him. Pretty simple.

It's not simple for my situation. I have 2 potential starts tonight and Torrey Smith on Sunday.

For the 11th time, if he's 100% and didn't have 2 good potential plays tonight, I'd start him.

Tough call bc if you sit Hakeem/Alshon tonight and CJ ends up being out Sunday, you are screwed :prayerssent:

It's actually a 3-WR league, edited to add to the OP.

If I bench Nicks or Jeffrey tonight, I'm rolling the dice that CJ will play and outscore the guy I bench. I'm playing Torrey Smith for sure.

If CJ is a scratch Sunday morning, I'll have to hit the waiver wire last minute.
