Jacobs
Ray Rice
Matt Forte
Calvin Johnson
Dwayne Bowe
Percy Harvin

I'm considering benching Forte for Harvin in my flex spot. Forte is going against the Steelers, who just shut down Tennessee's run game. Harvin is going against Detroit. Thoughts?

Forte could go against the AFC Pro Bowlers and I wouldn't bench him.

I'm not one who says "never bench 1st rounders", but benching him for a late round flyer is a bit extreme.

+1

You play to win the game and you draft guys in the first round to play them every week.

yep if you draft a Rb in the 1st round dont bench him if you think you might you should have drafted a WR or QB

the right move doesn't always pan out, but it doesn't make it the wrong move

starting Fortie was the right move

How was forte the right move? All 26 yards against the steelers while harvin put up 41 rec and a td.
