The debate about OBD vs OBJ rages on with many people taking sides. I guess since OBD was the father, OBJ would make the most sense here.

However the main discussion here is what can the shoelace do for my team. Yes, I know, its always about my team. But I come on here and try and give my advice as well, so help a guy out.

I happen to be in a competitive 14 team league. You may remember I am in a league that allows only 2 bench spots, so not many trades and lots of waiver wire moves. Anyway, I have done well on the waiver wire this year. And thus my problem...

I have had Ben Tate since he was injured. I have ridden the Tate wagon so far with only one week where he didn't get about ten or more points. So, I think I should ride the tate wagon till the wheels totally fall off. Unless others feel differently.

The OBJ thing comes up because I have a decision to make. Thanks to the shoelaces diversity in yahoo leagues and being able to be played at either wr or rb, I have options of starting three of the four following players...

1. Ben Tate
2. Denard Robinson
3. OBJ
4. Jerick Mckinnon.

I was going to role with Tate, Mckinnon, and Robinson, but then I thought to myself, well the giants are playing the colts so there should be lots of passing. Cruz is out, and Randle is at best decent. OBJ has been explosive, fights for the ball and may even now run better routes than Randle. And OBJ did well the against the cowboys last time out before the bye.

Eli had an extra week to get things worked out with OBJ, so I figure he could be looking at a huge game against the colts. And while denard is a safe play, with a decent floor because he will get rb touches, OBJ seems to have a pretty high floor this week too.

So, I was going to go Tate, Mckinnon, and Robinson, but then I decided to go Tate Mckinnon, and OBJ.

What do the extremely helpful people of this board recommend?

Tate
Obj
McKinnon

Denard is playing bengals and they have solid defense. McKinnon is going against skins and they aren't stout.

Tate OBJ are the top two choices here. Pick em btw McKinnon and Robinson.

I say McKinnon

I agree with your end result, but I got there a bit different.

End of the day, for a large league, I don't think that is a bad problem to have.
