Supposed to be an 80 percent chance of rain tonight. Should I bench Cobb in favor of Emanuel Sanders, Kelvin Benjamin, or Keenan Allen.
Can start 2 of those 4, Julio has my other spot.

3 very legitimate options there. Probably couldn't go wrong either way. No flex spot?

2 WR and a flex. Julio is in, leaving 2 spots for those four. I might be over thinking it. Just feel compelled to get Benjamin in the game, havent started him yet this season. But I also love Keenan Allens matchup against the Jets.
Anybody worried about the rain tonight?

80% chance of rain tonight?!

Facing Rodgers this week, fingers crossed that 80% comes through and affects him in some way.

The weather actually shows 80% today and 100% tonight. Now you have me thinking about benching Cobb

Oh ok I misread it. Man idk what to tell you. I would want to play all 5 of those guys.

I haven't really looked at the weather forecast. If it is supposed to be a torrential downpour, I suppose that would be the deciding factor for me to bench Cobb.

I have Jordy Nelson and the only player I could swap him with is Brandin Cooks. Now I'm torn on what to do.

I wouldn't be worried about the rain. He has relied on touchdowns this year and is leading the league. I'd start him and Allen this week.

Yeah, I don't think I can sit Nelson just because of rain. But thanks for having me nervous.

i'm not doing it, they will probably combine for 50 again if I bench them. and I'll throw in Hopkins and Floyd and get like 4 a piece from them.

Don't forget that these WRs are use to playing in turrible elements. Freezes, snow, and rain. GB wouldn't be GB if they couldn't have an effective pass game. It's not like you have Minnesota WRs. That would be a different story.

Now, if lacy stretches his hammys and runs really well, Cobb may see reduced targets, but not likely.
