I think Wells is way to high. Just coming off of injury, I think Hightower will get more touches than Wells.
@Matt: Well Matt you beat me to the punch… he was originally ranked there because of the report he was full go at practice on Wed and Thurs then a new report came out he was limited and such.
I was going to provide a modification on him i would drop Wells to 18 or so and bump hightower to about 22. I still see Wells getting the goal line touches if he is limited and having Hightower doing the running between the 20′s.
Wiz said he was going to ride the hot hand so you never know… Wells will be a player to watch closely on Sunday morning.
Moreno has been ruled out of Sundays game. Upgrade buckhalter. And upgrade all wr for Denver. Since they will look to the air more now.
Benson at 23?
I know you guys don’t like him on this site, but c’mon…
@Mike:
At 23 he would be an RB2. I like him but I think the Bengals are going to try and get the passing game going in this easy match up. I think this game will be a stepping stone for the Bengals to help get there offense going.
