Torrey has yet to register any bagels this year, gets a reasonable amount of targets for a ravens #2, and they are facing a pretty weak defense. I have little reason to think that he'll put up a zero on the day.

I'm kidding. I'm just a frustrated Torrey Smith owner who has to rely on him this week due to injuries.

Wish I had drafted J.J. Watt as a flex or something...at this point he is way better than Spiller. That guy is an animal.

I benched Hopkins for Torrey Smith. I'm feeling pretty clever right now xD

I know its worked out so far but why would you ever do that? isnt hopkins lk top 10 so far this year? and hasnt smith been abysmal?

in my flex spot I need to decide between cord. patterson, spiller, and joique bell. all kinda sucky recently but I could see any of them finishing the year top 25 at their position. Dont know who to go with

My spidey senses were tingling.

I was just playing the matchups pretty much. Smith has been awful, but he has been getting a reasonable amount of targets (in the 5-8 range) and he is playing a very porous Bucs Defense. Meanwhile, Hopkins was the 10th best WR going into the week; but he is very much the second option to Andre Johnson and the Indy pass defense has been pretty solid on the year so far.

lastly, my girlfriend encouraged me to start him as punishment for suggesting that I draft him in the first place and the sob story of his lil brother dying... but to be fair I did insist on grabbing Ahmed Bradshaw for both our teams, the only player going into the draft that I knew that I wanted to get for sure. (we play in different 14-team leagues and since the draft I haven't helped her one bit)

bell is banged up so stay away from him. i think spiller would be better over patterson since fred jackson himself is banged up.

I know bell isn't 100% but I thought he was all Detroit had this week with bush bring hurt also?

And yeah I don't like benching Patterson cuz one of these weeks he's gonna have a huge game but idk when it will be. Was hoping bridgewater would help him but so far it's not looking great

FWIW Smith consistently leads the league in PI penalties drawn and is again leading this year.

I'd start Bell. It was a concussion, and he's been cleared. Bush hasn't been practicing and his status is up in the air, so I think if he doesn't play, Bell is a no brainer. Should Bush play, I think I'd still go Bell because Patterson has reached the point where you should sit him weekly and miss the breakout game or two to avoid the terrible in between and I don't trust Spiller.
