So, with Gio hurt and the byes this week, I'm being forced to get creative with my lineup. As it currently stands, I'm starting:

QB: Drew vs SF
RB1: Beast Mode vs NYG
RB2: Ivory vs Pitt
WR1: Sir Steve Smith Sr. vs Tenn
WR2: Colston vs SF
TE: Owen Daniels vs Tenn
Flex: Chris Johnson vs Pitt
D/ST: Kansas City @ Buffalo
K: Crosby vs Chi


Gio is hurt on my bench, TY is on a bye, and Pierre is hurt still too. Zach Ertz vs Carolina on MNF is the only serviceable player I have on my bench.


Do y'all think I'm crazy starting the entire NYJ backfield? My thoughts are that getting the entirety of their points is better than gambling on Ertz putting up a goose egg or 3-4 points again.

Ugh, Gio being hurt is killing me. Sorry this was long, but I appreciate y'all's input.

I sort of like Ertz (if he's on the field) since Sanchez will be in his first true start.

So lemme get this straight, the Sanchize starting makes you LIKE Ertz?!

But realtalk ForksUp, would you start Ertz over Chris Ivory or Chris Johnson?

Johnson led the Jets with 11 carries last week, and 13 two weeks ago. He's also had 2 catches for decent yardage three weeks in a row.

Ivory's catches have dwindled from 21 to 13 to 8 the past three weeks. Even though everyone says he's the clear no. 1 in NY, I'm worried about his production if the Jets fall behind early to Pitt, which is surely possible given the fact Big Ben is playing out of his mind right now.

Going off the 3 players you listed, I'd play CJ2K (PIT going up big) and Ertz (Sanchez's first start; I'm also a Sanchez believer fyi). I don't like having double TE's but I don't know what other options you have on the WW.
