Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Hey wwharton, it's coming down to the wire for this week. 87-92 for my opponent so far. My Jimmy Graham and Sammy Watkins vs their Drew Brees and Buffalo D. Oh man If I lose this week I might be screwed as I'm facing the top team next week.

Wow! That's a tight one.

I don't think my Ravens can contain Graham, so that's good news. Let's hope they can get some pressure on Brees and he turns it over a couple of times. I think Watkins is going to have a big game... Bills D could go either way. They took a hit with the game being moved inside in Detroit. It should be an exciting night for you, at the very least.

I'm on the edge of the playoffs in my big league (worse luck I think I've ever had on one team, starting with the Peterson fiasco). My team has pretty much locked up it's part, but the team I need to lose has Brees also. Anyone close to NO that wants to kidnap him for about 24 hours, I'll send you a six pack or something.

Thankfully I started Anderson over Vereen and Gore. I'm playing for 1st place and have Jimmy Graham and Mark Ingram playing tonight while the other guy has nobody. Only need 7 points for the win.

Vereen isn't doing it in standard. I'm gonna drop him for Latavius Murray/Odell Beckham, whichever clears.

How the hell is Beckham still out there???

I like your chances tonight, even though I don't think Ingram will have a great game.

A lot of rookies in my league lol. At this point I'm just picking guys up so they can't be used against me; I play #3 and #4 the next two weeks and then playoffs so anything helps.

Honestly, he's a pick up that should make his way into your lineup. If he didn't get hurt he may have had 250 yards yesterday. Hell, if Eli didn't miss on that one look he may have had 250 yards and a 3rd td anyway.

Shouldn't pump him up too much in case you can't get him after yesterday's performance, but I think he's a top 10 WR the rest of the way.

Nice. I will make him my priority along with Latavius Murray. I'll probably have to break up the kicker monopoly to do so before it becomes a thing, unless Frank Gore is more droppable.

My only issue is fitting him in. I'm stacked at WR with Brown/Nelson/Gordon/Evans. Too late to trade anybody. Though I don't like Jordy vs New England next week and do like ODB vs Jax.

Wow, yeah you may be the only person on the planet that can't fit him into their starting lineup, lol.

BTW, there isn't a name you can come up with that's worth dropping more than a kicker... I don't care who the kicker is.

Should I stick with kaep or pick up Eli for this week? Kaep had been pretty mediocre

I'd start Eli over Kaep in a heartbeat this week, and possibly for the rest of the year.

For those that don't know, Eli will be playing Jacksonville while Kaep will be playing Seattle.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Yeah, I don't trust Kaepernick at all.

So I need some help picking my RB2, WR2, and FLEX in my 12 team PPR. I'm definitely starting Rashad Jennings (RB1) and Antonio Brown (WR1), but have no idea about the rest. Here's the list of guys I'm choosing from:

Giovani Bernard
Jeremy Hill
Joique Bell
Jordan Matthews
Eric Decker
DeSean Jackson

Hill or Bernard will probably start for me, but I can't figure out which one to pick, or if I should start both. Thoughts?

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

RB Jennings
RB Gio
WR Brown
WR Matthews
Flex Bell


That is what I would do personally

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Jennings
Gio
Brown
Matthews
Hill

I like both Gio and Hill next week vs Tampa. I also like Desean vs the Colts if anything changes during the week.

I'd agree with this one. I can see the thought for Bell, but as a Bell owner, I would trust Gio more. He's had every possible opportunity to take a lead role and has only had one decent game... and followed that up with another stinker. Bell's got a good match up but I just don't trust him (when I have other options).

Same with DJax... decent match up but can't trust RG3 to get him the ball right now.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

I'm trying to decide between a few players to mix between my 2nd RB spot and my flex. Any input would be helpful....

Andre Ellington
Isaiah Crowell
Fred Jackson
Josh Gordon
Golden Tate
Brandon LaFell
