I'm in a must win sitation here this week if I want to make the playoffs...the slots are

RB1
RB2
WR1
WR2
RB/WR

We have the following players to pick from....

Colston at Carolina
Hester at Arizona
Forte at Arizona
Barber at Philly
Hightower at Chicago
Stewart at NO
and SJ's got a bye...

Obviously I play Hester and Colston..Colston is too good to sit, and Hester has been getting a lot of targets lately (hoping Anthony Gonz comes back here soon though it sounds like that's in doubt). Forte is no longer a must play but as long as Chicago doesn't get too far back he's got a pretty good matchup vs. Arizona. Barber has a rough matchup, Stewart has been hot but he could be playing from behind and is splitting time.....I don't like Hightower but he gets a lot of TD's....

So who do I play? Right now I have it as

WR1: Colston
WR2: Hester
RB1: Forte
RB2: Barber
WR/RB: Hightower
Bench: Stewart

Do you do that? Or do you swap out Hightower or Barber for Stewart?

Yeesh.

I'd bench Forte. I know he had an ok game last week, but he's just not that good, and Arizona's run D is.

It's tough to depend on Stewart, but I think he could def produce more than Forte this week.

It's ******* Golden.

Really? I don't think I can bench Forte this week. Philly is CRAZY stingy just like Arizona but Forte is the only RB on that team. He'll get all the touches. Barber on the other hand won't. Stewart and Hightower have a crap matchup too and they're splitting carries.

Idk. I think they're almost equal.

I just think Forte is actually more dependent on TDs than Stewart right now. Which is sad.

Hester may not play so you have to find another option at WR for this week.

Forte, Barber and Hightower. Stewart to me is strictly a match-up start and this is not the week for it.

I'd go with what you have but that lineup will be tough to win with on a regular basis.
