Would you sit T. Hill this week for K Benjamin?

Hill gets Josh Norman this week, but I’m worried about Benjamin’s knee. I could also start both and take Carson out of my flex.

PPR.

What would you do?

I would add that the Carolina Norman was much better than the Washington Norman. The Carolina defense was a system thing.

Sure it is. According to the current and former players who commented on it when he changed teams.

He's allowing a catch rate of 36% thus far and has already shut down Alshon (7 targets 2 receptions 2 pas defended), shadowed Sammy Watkins 2 catches 30 yards and Crabtree/Cooper (allowed 7 yards total in his matchups )

Think he'll shadow Hill? They put Tyreek all over the field in that offense

I'm not totally sure

But only 43% of receiving yards vs that WAS secondary is going to WRs, best in the league. On the flip, they've allowed 250 yrds to TEs, most in the league.

Signs point to Kelce game. I'd roll hill over Benjamin obviously but that matchup will be one to watch

WAS & Norman to an extent havent allowed more than 3 catches to: alshon, watkins, cooper and Crabtree - all fell below WR45

Hill is in the top percentile in speed in the NFL. He can take it to the house on any play. Norman is a top CB but I don't see how you leave a guy as explosive as Hill on the bench.

Tweets came out saying Benjiman practiced without a brace and no limp. Then, on NFL Fantasy Live, they said he just did the stretching and that it may be another week before he comes back.

I think I'm in agreement with what Gyno said yesterday. Not ready to start Benjiman this week.

As Hill runs 77% of his routes against right and slot corners and Josh Norman is playing stationary left cornerback 97% of the time, Hill will not draw shadow coverage on Monday night.

Kendall Fuller been good too (90+ week 3 grade)

But I ain't sitting Tyreek until he slows down. Dudes been highly production in kind of comfortable wins. This dude may go bananas if KC ever gets in a shootout.

Washington has been a blanket this year.

You gotta start Hill regardless, might have to lower expectations tho.

Kelce gonna have a big night.

Yes. He was a lot tougher in Carolina. Not so much in Washington.
