So many teams want to split carries these days, if you luck into a starter that is going to get all the carries it could win you the league.
It has absolutely nothing to do that, he has been my saving grace. I just think he has peaked. He hasn't played a full season in a while either.

Fact is that I bought low (6th round pick) and I sold high (got a first and 2nd round). I believe that both the guys I got will have the 'stats' at the end, especially Fitz. To be honest, it was getting Westbrook AND McCoy that solidified the deal because Reid doesn't 'share' carries, he goes with one guy and spells the other. And I have also set up my team for what is a 17 week league. The fact that they both are readily available in the passing game is also another plus.

I actually think having not played a full season in a while will probably help him.

That being said if you are willing to spend every Sunday at your computer waiting to find out Westbrook's status then it could work. But that is kind of a pain in the ass.

How do receptions work in your league?

Not PPR.

I don't move on Sunday's at all normally, 11am to after the Sunday night game, same position every Sunday during the NFL

If I had to though, I have mobile access, like I will need next week when I am in Vegas

Maybe I'm just being harsh cause Benson was one of my main sleepers this year and I drafted him in both leagues and then traded him away in one. But I think he will be a fantasy stud the rest of the way.

So you are doing Vegas instead of Arcadia for the BC? I got my fill of Vegas a couple weeks back.
