re: Hate leaving big points on the bench.

No Flex player here. My thinking was, the Jets defense is good, I either sit Gore or Hillis. Hillis has the jags, Gore was projected higher this week so I made the choice. I think many probably would have because yes Foster is not a monster every week.

I agree with jr. Foster is a stud, so you don't bench him. He has been the best rb this year.

While you did a great job assessing who was going against the best defense, I think you failed to properly weigh the other factors.
How about overall capability of the offense? The Texans rank 6th in the league in total offense. Cleveland is 24th and San Francisco is 29th. Pretty big discrepancy.
How about the presence of a passing game to help establish the run? Schaub vs. Troy Smith and Colt McCoy? Seriously?
How about the production of the actual player? Foster is one of 2 players in the league averaging 100yds/game on the ground. Gore and Hillis are in the 80s. Rushing: Gore - 3tds, Hillis - 8, Foster - 10.
Even Matchups have bad days. Thats right, did anyone see what Mike Goodson rolled up against the Ravens today? How about Benjarvus Green-Ellis at pittsburgh last week? You would assume the RB would have a bad day against a tough defense but why is that more likely than a tough defense having a bad day against a great RB?
Its not rocket science. I just really believe you over-thought this one. any of the 3 are likely must starts in any other lineup. You just sat the best one because he had the worst matchup. That would have been the correct move if the guy you chose to sit wasn't building his case for MVP. Had they all been equal players with equal situations then yes, sit the worst matchup. But you don't sit the best in the league, especially when the other two play on a couple of the worst offenses in the league.
Its the same reason you wouldn't sit Roddy White or Philip Rivers against the Jets, Giants, Saints, etc. You even put
in the OP implying it was a bad move. Don't get mad at me bro
