It'd just that Bennett is the 4th option in his offense.

Would I consider Rivers a top tier fantasy option? No. Middle tier. You know the old turnover machine could come out at any time.

True it's looking like if I want too it's Jennings or Crabtree .. Crabtree is the better value per the rankings but... Jennings is the #1 back for the giants... And if Eli continues to suck they'll have to run... There are 12 teams in the draft so if Jennings is the 41st overall that would put him mid 4th...

On the simple premise that he's a starter, maybe. However I'd be more inclined too look at a backup running back on a productive team over Jennings. Better value for similar production.
Its just very difficult to justify the inconsistency. Unless you have a magic waiver wire kind of year (mine was 2012) where you can make that type of pick and perhaps redeem yourself from the waiver wire if it backfires.

The thing about inconsistent players is that it makes your whole team difficult to cage, IMHO. Then you question your lineups and sometimes over analyze yourself week to week.

Yes None is also an option


You think Rivers will be a top tier Fantasy QB this year?

Right now I'm leaning Bennett, 9th round for a possible tier 1 upper tier 2 TE isn't bad
Here's the rankings i'm going by

Rank Player Name Bye Week Best Rank Worst Rank Ave Rank Std Dev ADP
41 Rashad Jennings 8 17 60 41.18 9.40 41
44 Michael Crabtree 8 7 98 45.09 15.30 46
107 Philip Rivers 10 75 170 112.94 18.98 115
120 Martellus Bennett 9 81 168 124.00 19.13 125

not at all....but if i were keeping one of those guys it'd be him. he's a decent backup for that late of a round. you might luck out and have him playing Oakland during your real QB's bye week.

I think at this point... I'm keeping Crabtree for a 10th round pick... he's likely to be the 49er's #1 receiver this year... unless you guys think that the 0'er during the preseason means more than I think it does

Designate one keeper. My two choices, Breesy or Graham. I want to lean towards Graham and then snag a value QB later. But I just have this feeling Drew is going to have a MONSTER season if I pass on him.

True. But Detroit plays a lot of bad defenses in the NFC north. Argument could be made for either.

This is a good point. Matty Ice will play against some good defenses in the NFC south and if he has to play from behind, likely gives higher risk of turnover. I'd vote Stafford then.


edit: I just realized I'm facing Manning week one for the second time in a row. Indy will have zero pass rush without Mathis. God. Damn it.
