Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

12 team non-PPR

So I am really hit by the bye and Peterson being suspended so try to hold back your laughter on advice on who to start.

I need RB 1, RB 2 and Flex advice:
RB: Trent Richardson, Alfred Blue, Knile Davis
WR: Allen Robinson, Torrey Smith, Kenny Stills, Brandon LaFell

LaFell is on my roster as a guy that I could start at flex if Jamaal Charles is back Monday night reducing Knile Davis workload.

Who should I start at the 3 positions?

Currently, I am going RB: Richardson and Davis and at Flex: Allen Robinson.

Reggie Bush or Maurice Jones-Drew?

Bush is facing NYJ, so outside of sharing touches I highly doubt he'll get many redzone opportunities either. Seeing the Jets stop Forte like that concerns me.

I would normally go straight to MJD, but he has had a hand injury recently and I don't really know his role in Oakland right now.

Makes me regret dropping Brown a week before Mathews and Woodhead went down.

2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Instead of who to start, I'm gonna ask who to add.

My Running Backs:
Alfred Morris
Andre Ellington
Matt Asiata
Chris Ivory
Fred Jackson

My WR's:
Demaryius Thomas
Michael Crabtree
Kendall Wright
Cecil Shorts
Josh Gordon

I also have Benny Cunningham but I'm looking to drop him for either Marvin Jones or Jerrick McKinnon since I have Asiata.

Do you guys think I should drop Cunningham for Jones to make my WR depth better or keep building my RB depth?

2 WR...1 Flex

P. Harvin vs Washington
M. Floyd vs Denver
J. Maclin vs St Louis
S. Smith vs Indianapolis
E. Sanders vs Arizona
L. Donnell vs Atlanta

What you guys think?

I think you should be making a trade or two, lol.

Floyd would be a lock for me. Coming off a bye and a game they should be airing it out.

I think I'd start Sanders in that game for similar reasons, and Patterson should be on Thomas... but Welker may start cutting into his targets as early as this week.

Touchdowns are too hard to predict for me to include a TE not named Gronk or Graham in this discussion.

At some point I'll be forced to respect the Raven but Smith is bound to have an average game soon, and coming off the emotionally charged game of last week, I can see this being it. I can also see the Colts doing everything to stop him and Torrey getting a bit more room in this one. You've got so many options, I don't think I'd take a chance with him.

STL's D-line vs PHI's O-line scares me. Again with your options, that may be enough to bump own Maclin.

Harvin is going against a banged up secondary that was weak when healthy. The real worry here is that the Hawks go up early and run the air out of the ball. They don't really force the ball to Harvin anyway, but this is a good match up.

So my pick (on Tuesday anyway) would be Floyd, Sanders and Harvin.

2 QB League.

Who to start at QB2?

My options this week -

Teddy B @ GB
Bortles vs PIT

Technically, Shaun Hill/Austin Davis are both available on waivers if either are a massive upgrade for this week, but I don't think they are.

Teddy's ankle injury has me worried but you guys steered me right in starting him over Bortles last week. What about this week?

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

10 team league, 2 WR and a flex. Right now I have Asiata in my flex spot. 1 RB starts, for me it's Leveon Bell.

I'm trying to choose between three different receivers fir my starting two: Alshon Jeffrey, Demaryius Thomas, and Eddie Royal.

I know Jeffrey and Thomas are usually the obvious starts, but both have been off to slow starts, particularly Thomas who has a tough draw against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, Royal has been fire and has everyone's favorite matchup, the Jags.

I think right now I have Jeffrey and Royal, with Asiata in the flex. Thoughts?

Definitely a tough decision but I'd go with Bridgewater if he plays.

Gotta go with your gut. I'd probably still ride with Thomas, even against Patterson. But it's definitely worth some thought and Royal does have a nice match up.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Tough decisions at WR...

Keenan Allen vs. NYJ
Victor Cruz vs. ATL
Vincent Jackson @ NO
Roddy White @ NYG

I need to pick two...or three if I want to play at FLEX over Ellington..unlikely.

I like Allen and Cruz. At home. Both putting up big weeks recently. Two bad defenses. Jackson is a wildcard. Glennon likes him. The Saints defense is bad too. But it's a road game... I just traded for White, as I think he has a chance to return to form, but I don't need to play him this week.

Also, with Zack Ertz putting up two bad games, I'm considering streaming a TE the rest the way.

Ertz vs. STL
Heath Miller @ JAX
Jason Witten vs. HOU

Miller put up a huge game this week in a loss. The Jaguars have worst TE fantasy defense so far...but this could be a route, and then could just run in the 2nd half. Witten hasn't shown much but the Cowboys have been scoring a lot lately and you know the Texans will be scheming to stop the run. Ertz seems like boom/bust.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Been keeping Rivers on the bench like a dummy in hopes of Brees stringing together some big games. Think I may move Rivers into the starting lineup this week.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Asiata or McKinnon just for this week @GB? I have both, but I'm not sure which to play.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Unsure about my FLEX spot again: Go with Steve Smith @ Indy or Frank Gore vs. KC?

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Asiata or McKinnon just for this week @GB? I have both, but I'm not sure which to play.

I'd imagine Asiata is going to get the bulk of the carries, especially on the goal line, but McKinnon has big play ability. I'd go with Asiata for those redzone scores.
