Dwayne Bowe Suspended

Ok what to do here?

Dwayne Bowe gets suspended for four games. I have been playing him all season and he has been averaging 9+ points a week. I can stash him on the bench, and wait for playoff time, or do I kick him to the curb, thinking that his first game back from suspension will likely be an underwhelming performance. Then I look at his match up for the first week of the playoffs, and it is Cleveland.

I have Jerricho Cotchery and Hakeem Nicks riding the bench right now.

Available in my league are
Laverneous Coles
Jeremy Maclin
Antonio Bryant
Donnie Avery
Pierre Garcon
Anthony Gonzalez

Thoughts?

Re: Dwayne Bowe Suspended

I'd stay away from Antonio Bryant -- he's been hobbled by knee problems all season and liable to lose snaps to Sammie Stroughter and Maurice Stovall when he does come back to the lineup.

Of the group, I'd probably try to grab Pierre Garcon -- he's the best bet to score of the bunch, given the lack of running game in Indy right now.

Coles has been on fire lately. That is who I would take, thinking Palmer will only get more comfortable as the season goes on. After him, Maclin or Garcon.

If Maclin´s available go pick him up and drop Coles...he´s fairly worthless...
