Sidney Rice over Cedric Benson...got it right, but what good does that do me?

Not much.  I got creamed this weekend with my opponent having Schaub, McFadden and the Ravens DST.

Oh well, maybe James Starks will show up for me next weekend?

Why I Am Starting Sidney Rice over Cedric Benson

As we hear all the time...the NFL is about "match-ups."  So here we go...Sidney Rice has not played yet this season and Cedric Benson is having a nice start to his season.  Why do I mention these two...because Rice is up against one of the worst passing defenses and Benson is going up against one of the best running defenses. 

Play the matchups and ignore the names when it comes to picking your flex options.
