If only for the sake of touches, it's got to be T. Rich.  I know he doesn't ooze talent, but he's the lead back in Indy, whereas Greene will definitely be a change of pace back for Sankey (even though he is still ahead on the depth chart).

Greene will get all of the short-yardage and any goal-line work.  I'm thinking he will put one across the goal line.

Richardson is projected at 8.84 and Greene is projected at 8.31

Hmmm, might go with Richardson.

This obviously.  But with the choices T. Rich.  You have to have someone better.  Maybe someone like Colston or Kendall Wright or MJD?

T Rich, but I'm not holding my breath. He's got to come out and prove himself. The team has a good leader, Luck always has a factor.

My starting WR are Alshon Jeffrey and keenan Allen
My starting RB's are LeSean McCoy and LeVeon bell

Nothing much on my bench but Dwayne Bowe and he is out this week.
.
That leaves me with Trent Richardson, Shonn Greene,  Bishop Sankey and Deandre Hopkins. My other bench spot is a QB

If I really wanted to gamble, I could drop Sankey and pick up Latimer since Welker is out and put him in?

You need more upside guys.  As it stands the only one on your bench is Bishop Sankey.  Don't get me wrong, Hopkins could do okay, but the others are all average guys who likely won't ever do anything exciting.  Guys like Kenny Britt, Bishop Sankey, Carlos Hyde, Terrance West, Justin Hunter (etc. etc.) are much better options.  

You're playing fantasy to WIN, not coast into 3rd or 4th or 5th.  Your bench should be loaded with high upside guys, not guys who can get you 6-9 points a week, but will never get you 20.
