Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

You have a D that plays the JAX and you think about benching them? Crazy!

Even if the Chiefs matchup looks great too, Bortles looks pretty bad so far. Guess the Bengals passing d will make his life hell this game, at least 1 pick six is more then possible.

How are you guys handling WRs from the same team? Have to decide for 2 out of 3 between Andre Johnson, Mike Evans, VJax. I don´t want to start two Buccs WRs so Johnson is kind of set. But I have a tough matchup this week and could need some upside so I am thinking of Evans over VJax because he seems to be a beast in RZ. Am I crazy or is he really the better option even as WR2?

This bye week is really killing me, half my starting offense has to sit.

Also at the TE position, who would you start this week?

Dwyane Allen (@ NYG)

OR

Jimmy Graham (@ Carolina)

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Okay so it's come down to Bengals and Chiefs... Just wondering now is if there are any key defensive players injured on either teams?

Thanks mpbaseball22 and wwharton

Eric Berry hasn't played in a couple of weeks (KC) and I didn't see a status for week 9. He's a significant loss but shouldn't be this week.

For what it's worth, AJ Green didn't play last week and Gio missed a good chunk of the second half. At home against the Jags, I think Sanu and Hill will keep the chains moving just fine.

That's tough. Gotta go with your gut but it'd be hard for me to start two Bucs too.

Graham. Allen should do "fine" but Graham at less than 100% is at least as good. His touches went up some last week. It's a short week but I think he'll be at least as involved this week as last.

PPR

Torrey Smith vs Pit, Mike Evans vs CLE or Andrew Hawkins vs TB?

Hawkins. Smith is tempting bc of PIT's secondary but the Ravens could have a good passing game with most of the targets going to Steve Smith, hard to say... and their offense has been inconsistent on the road for years. Evans has the same issue with VJax around, and Cleveland actually has a great secondary.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Standard league.

Right now, my starters are Demaryius Thomas WR1, Mike Wallace WR2, Mohammad Sanu Flex.

Anybody else think that's a good play or should I be looking to start one or all of

Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell? I feel like Anquan is gonna have a big day against St. Louis. Am I nuts?

I could literally make a case for all of them. NE/DEN will be a shoot out so maybe LaFell deserves more love but for who? Wallace is the only one I would even think of pulling, but don't want to do that either. I guess I would keep it as it is.

Not a fan of the TB Bucs offense but I'd take VJax with a frown on my face

Geesh thats a tough one, probably would go as is or slot in Steve Smith over Mike Wallace. Steelers have had trouble with YAC and thats where Smith excels. Could see him having a really good day

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Okay thanks I started Jimmy Graham just in time. What a night he's had whew. Too bad one of my WR (Kelvin Benjamin) didn't get going... damnit.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Who to start as my WR2 in my ppr league since Julio is on a bye?

A.Johnson vs Phi
R.Randle vs Indy
S.Smith vs Pitt

Also should i consider playing any of these 3 over A.J Green with him still battling Turf Toe?

I don't think Green is a lock to play right now, but if he does he should start.

I'd start Smith of those 3, but if you have strong feelings about either of the other two they aren't bad options. Randle would be my 2nd choice for what it's worth.

AJ Green starts if he plays


If Vontae Davis is inactive go with Randle. If he is active go Steve Smith.
