This is a very interesting debate that has been talked about for years in the fantasy football world. Many people say that it is essential for people to handcuff their stud, so they don't have to hope that they can get the backup when their star RB gets injured. Supporters can point to the fact that last year, without handcuffing Ladell Betts to Clinton Portis, many owners would have not won their leagues. Other examples are when Sammy Morris stepped in for Laurence Maroney, when Kenny Watson stepped in for Rudi Johnson, and Jesse Chatman filling in for Ronnie Brown. However, there are also many people who are against it. Opponents argue that the cost of handcuffing is too high. For example, say you drafted LaDanian Tomlinson. Michael Turner's average draft position is around 100th overall, around the same area as players such as Brett Favre,, Jason Witten, and DJ Hackett. Also, handcuffing takes up a valueable roster spot.
What is your opinion on handcuffing?
