Flex Torain or DeSean?

Hi folks. I'm in a .5 PPR league, we start 2 WR, 2 RB, and flex a WR/RB

My starters are Roddy White, Reggie Wayne, Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster.

I will be flexing either Ryan Torain or DeSean Jackson. I'm leaning towards Torain based on his matchup, but the "never bench your studs" theory keeps nagging at me. What do you think? Thanks.
 
Im with your side Nafstejyn. I think most people posting above do not have DeSean on their teams. He has been absolutely useless last 2 games. In one of my leagues, Im going with Moeki over DeSean.

I would take Torain over DeSean as well. Indy is horrible against the run, and Washington is one of those teams that hangs around, so I can see them running him 20 times, and thats good odds to break one. He had 20 touches last week too.

Hard to bench your studs, but the matchup vs Indy is just too good for me to pass on. (bottom 5 vs run)
 
Thanks for the feedback everyone. If I didn't have Kolb as my QB (Freeman on the bench), I wouldn't even have given this much thought.
 
Thanks to all who suggested going with DeSean. I did...and he was good for 19.5 pts for me before getting his head knocked off! Never bench your studs. :)
