Should i bench Larry Johnson in week 14?

Question

I have Larry Johnson, Thomas Jones, and Ladell Betts on my team. Both Thomas Jones (vs. St.Louis) and Ladell Betts (vs. Philadelphia) have favorable matchups this week. Larry Johnson plays the number 2 rush defense in the league (Baltimore). Not sure what to do, its hard to sit the second best running back in the league.

Need your advice!

Answer 1

Larry Johson is good enough that he will put up decent numbers--even if he's against Baltimore

Answer 2

Larry Johnson and Ladell Betts.

Johnson because you should never sit him. Not even against Baltimore. Ok, they held Tomlinson to 98 yards, but even in that case....it was 98 yards after all.

And Thomas is losing fast carries against Cedric Benson. He's not reliable anymore as a starting RB.

And Betts....

Phily has alound a lot of yards lately. DeAngelo Williams rush for a lot more than a 100 yards last monday. Then...why not trusting Betts? He has been having decent games lately also.

Answer 3

as far as i look at it, and since i do own larry johnson, i find it extremely hard to sit him... would u sit LT against baltimore? i put them in the same category since they are both capable of 150+ all purpose yards and 3 TDs on any given sunday. LJ being the second most explosive player in football should be un-benchable. Thomas jones will probably get alot of carries this week assuming the bears will try to keep grossman from throwing as much as they can, so i sit ladell betts.

Answer 4

I will have to go with Johson and Jones.

Johnson- is have a tought Ravens defense that can stop the run and pass but they have give up big yards to good RB. Like L.T., Travis Henry, and etc. Larry Johnson is to good to sit out because he has ability to run for a good game against a good or weak defense.

Jones- should a have a great game because the Rams defense has given up lots of running yards to a lot of teams. Also you should consider that Jones might not have a good game because he shares touches with Benson and Benson is a pretty good RB too. So he might causes Jones not to have a good game.

Betts- is a okay RB and is facing a Eagles defense that can't stop the run. So Betts is a good game but he hasn't done much this year but he has his moments. So not really sure if he is going to have a good game because he has his up's and down's.

I think you sure start Johnson as always because Johnson can make big plays regardless of who they play. Then I will have to go with Jones but like I said he shares touches with Benson. So that might caused him to not a good game. If that the case, then start Betts but if not then start Johnson and Jones.

Answer 5

i imagine you need to attempt Larry Johnson particularly of Peyton Hills. i do not ignore that Oakland has a terrible run protection yet I positioned no trust interior the operating decrease back by committee frame of mind. Larry Johnson had a good sport very last week even even with the truth that he became rusty. he's the #a million guy in KC anybody else is damage. If the game became in Buffalo i'd replace my opinion, yet with the game in KC I say follow the stud. He may explode this week for one hundred thirty and a couple of touchdowns. I doubt Hills has that means. good luck

Answer 6

This is going to be a bad match up passing for the Cheifs. Lets face it, Green is old and has no standout Wide recevier with deep ball threat outside of Tony Gonzalez.( I know I misspelt that). So they will look to run, but how well will they? In the red zone he will be gold, but out side of that it is tough. I like the fact he is a tough runner and will break tackles, it takes 2 men to get him down. Baltimore is coming off an upset loss to the Bengles. They will look to prove themselves by taking away passing lanes. I like him to get about 80+ yards and a touchdown. I say keep him up on that roster until he lets you down. Bench Betts, Philly will look to shut down the run again.

Answer 7

No way even though he is going against the second best team in the league he will still produce because thats whats grade running backs do.

Answer 8

NEVER sit Larry Johnson!

Answer 9

Start Johnson because runners who can pound the football will make the defense weaker and more tired.

Answer 10

I suggest two options because their are SO many variables in any game, especially an athletic match-up:

1. Roll dice for your answer.

2. Choose the player whose ass you like the best. That way you can at least enjoy looking at his ass while you are losing, or possibly winning! Do you like Larry Johnson's big, strong, muscular, black ass?
