2016 Sit/Start Thread

[mb625]

Noticed we don't have a sit/start thread up yet, so I figured I'd make one. I've been thinking about one that feels like it shouldn't be a question, but I feel that it is with the matchups this week:

I've got Cam Newton and Bortles at QB. Can I trust Newton against Denver's D? If not, can I trust Bortles against the Packers more?

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

I have the Jags winning the game, so I'd take Bortles. Carolina's going to win tonight, but the Broncos' D is still SB quality.

Man. That's some trust in the Jags. More than I have. But overall, that pretty much echoed my thinking. I'm too afraid of the Broncos' D against Cam.

I'm a big fan of Bortles and believe in the Broncos D, but if I felt I had to sit the #1 overall QB in week 1 I'd be regretting the early pick I spent on him all year long.

I say start Cam and let the cards fall where they may.

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

Now onto me. I need one for a FLEX in a 14 team PPR:

TJ Yeldon (JAX) vs GB
Michael Thomas (NO) vs Oak

I do have Brees as my QB, as if that would boost Thomas's numbers.

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

Thomas for me. fo sho.

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

I agree with Thomas. I think Ivory is questionable, but I'd wait to see how the carries shape up btwn those two if I have another option like you do. In a PPR at home, Thomas is a fine option.

Start Tyrod Taylor or Brock Osweiler?

Assuming your leagues scoring gives more points for running years than passing, I'd start Tyrod.

Ameer Abdullah, Justin Forsett, or Will fuller in a flex spot? Fully standard scoring.

I'd go Yeldon now. Ivory is out.

+1 for Tyrod. Revenge game. Think he'll be top 5 this week. Have him in a couple daily lineups.

Forsett is a no for me. My gut says Fuller, but the smarter play is *sigh* Abdullah.

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

Only league where I didn't win handily this week... Down 20 points and I have Rams DST left and a bottom of the barrel TE (Gronk out).

Would you go with The Outlaw Jesse James (currently owned) or Vance Big Mac McDonald? I don't pay attention to the niners but people are talking him up, so idk.

He's being talked up because he's a big athletic dude, but he's still a 9er... until proven otherwise, I can't trust Gabbert. I'm not in love with James just yet either, but I trust Big Ben and the Rams D more than Gabbert and the Skins D so I'd go with James.

20 points is a lot to ask from either TE obviously so the answer may just be go with the guy you took a chance on to begin with... which still points to James.

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

Well, I have Rams D to play too. Im hoping they do a bulk of the work for me.

Ah yeah forgot about that. They should be good for 10 with potential for more... makes the TE contribution more reasonable for sure.

Re: 2016 Sit/Start Thread

Not so much a start/sit question as my only TE (Ertz) is injured, more of a which would you recommend picking up going forward, $100 FAAB, PPR league:

Dwayne Allen - Seems to be the obvious choice but I already have Donte Moncrief and I'm worried I might be putting too many eggs in one basket, also expect he will go for $20+ given the TE need multiple teams have.

Jesse James - Solid target guy but ceiling doesn't seem super high although I can see him as a definite red zone threat.

Vance McDonald - 49ers looked bad passing last night but for some reason I'm high on Vance, am I crazy? They should be behind often so should have to throw more than they did last night but Gabbert is throwing so that isn't necessarily good, but Vance and Gabbert had good chemistry late last season.

Jacob Tamme or Dennis Pitta - Both solid guys who get targets, not flashy but solid, like Jesse James only I think he's higher because Ben loves his TE's.

Allen seems to be clearly the best option but am I putting too many eggs in the Indy basket? That's not a bad basket to be in given Luck and how much they throw and even a down week from him might be on par with the rest of this list.

Curious to hear as many opinions as possible, all help appreciated.
