Bye Week Advice Thread

Homer. ^^^

Redman was just a spot start for Rice last week.

 

No homer. I have Ben and Fitz in my $$ league too. Going with Ben. On paper he should do much better than Fitz...but like they say...gotta play the games...lol.

 

Delone Carter or Kendall Hunter? Standard scoring. I know Carters the "starter" in Indy for now, but Brown got a lot of work as well last week, and Hunters been getting a lot of touches in SF. Plus the Lions havent been great against the run but Cincy has. Im going with Carter at the moment..any input?

 

That's a tough one. The Colts rush offense is awful. Carter is "the man" there, but the Colts don't put up many yards. Then you have HUnter who could be a stud, but Gore has been solid the last couple weeks...like a "new" Frank Gore. I'd lean towards Carter IMO because of Gore, but that's a tough decision there.

 

Same dilemma.........I have Hunter and I just claimed Carter off waivers because Beanie Wells and Mike Tolbert are both on byes this week.

I'm going with Carter because while Hunter has been getting more touches the last two weeks.........as long as Frank Gore is healthy........Hunter's production may be limited.

Once Gore broke out against the Eagles despite not drawing the start with an ankle injury.......they kept feeding him the ball. And it continued last week against Tampa Bay. Gore has rushed for over 100 yards in the last two games.

Hunter got his yardage against the Bucs in the middle of the fourth quarter when the Niners were up by 40+ points. They won't blow out the Lions like that. Hunter will be in the mix but when Gore is healthy......they will feed him the ball. You have to hope Hunter breaks a long run or two with his limited touches.

The Bengals defense is stout and among the best in the NFL right now. But Carter should have more of a chance to be productive despite that because Addai will be out and Donald Brown hasn't touched the ball at all this year until last week. The Bengals have also allowed a rushing TD four games straight. The Lions have allowed over 110 yards rushing this season while the Bengals have allowed less than 89 yards, but Detroit has allowed just one rushing TD all year. And if the 49ers do get near the goal line............that carry would certainly go to Gore.
