Anyone feel comfortable rolling him with Manziel sinking the ship?

Flex spot .5ppr. Other options are James Jones, Dez, Lafell.

I've been rolling him out at TE weekly. Sitting him for Reed this week. Heard repeatedly from him and McCown and announcers how great their connection is from back in Carolina. The two games Johnny played at the start of the year Barnidge was quiet.

These were the weeks that Travis exploded... Manziel running all over the backfield and Benajin was the only one running around like a chicken downfield. The only hope is that they will be behind and will throw it alot. Leaning towards benching him too.

Benched for Gates this week as long as Gates plays. Reassess after that.

Flexing Tavon over him. He has to come down to earth eventually and this seems like the right time on short week with JF dumbass at QB. But I've benched him a couple times the last few weeks and been wrong every time so we will see..

Graham is on bye so I don't really have a choice. Makes me nervous with the shitty qb play

Gary is the man, you can't bench him

- well you can but he will put up double digits

I am going back and forth between he and M. Bennett. It is driving me nuts.

Flex spot, no I wouldn't play him. Only time I've ever played a TE in the flex spot was the 2011 season when Jimmy Graham and Jordan Cameron both broke out. I was rolling out double TEs all year and it won me the championship

At the TE spot however, it's hard to say many people would have a better option, and Manziel has to be able to see how great Barnidge is. I think they're calling more plays for Barnidge now that they know what he's capable of, I think he puts up enough to be worthy of starting again this week

But would you be confident playing Barnidge with Manziel over Bennett with Cutler.


Why is this decision driving me nuts. I normally just follow my gut, but I don't even know what my gut is telling me on this.

I have both in one league and I'm playing Barnidge. Bennett just hasn't been start worthy this season despite how many targets he gets. I don't think that will change. Barnidge is a safer bet and more upside. So no way I start Bennett over him

I'm not playing him tonight. For one, Manziel doesn't target the tight end and the Bengals have shutdown the TE position as of late.

I've lost Arian and Bell this year so I've been playing a TE in my flex the last two weeks.

I have Gates, Eifert, and Barnidge - ha.

I'm rolling with Gates & Eifert this week.

THursday night football does not bode well for fantasy in my opinion

I can see this being a 10-7 final

Arizona has given up the least points to Tight Ends this season. Barndige went for 53 yards and a td on 7 receptions out of 11 targets against them last week.

I can't wait to see how mad all of you are tomorrow because you didn't start the 2nd best fantasy tight end to date this season.

I'm rolling with confidence with all Cincy players.

Cleveland will not hold Cincy to 10.

Barnidge is seeing gronk and Olsen like targets from Mccown. Targets = opportunity

You almost have to treat him like a different player w manziel. His past production goes out the window. Not that he can't score, but you're going in blind without any past history to go off of
