Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

WEEK 2 WTS

Vincent Jackson vs STL or Kendall Wright vs DAL

I'd go with Wright against that Dallas D.

Alright, I have a tough one again this week for my flex spot.

0.5 PPR, otherwise standard scoring:

Cord Patterson vs. NE
Keenan Allen vs. SEA
Knowshown Moreno @BUF
Brandin Cooks @CLE
Andre Ellington @NYG

I'm pretty locked in on starting Brandon Marshall, Michael Floyd, LeSean McCoy, and DeMarco Murray at my WR and RB slots, so this is the one huge toss-up for me.

Tough but good problem there. I think I'd go with Ellington but lots of great choices.

Yeah, I want to wait to see what happens with Ellington's health. Giants are such a great matchup though. How do you feel about Patterson and Allen this week? New England has Revis and while Seattle has Sherman, San Diego could theoretically just move a Allen around to get him the ball

Edelman vs. Minnesota or Brandin Cooks vs. Cleveland?

PPR by the way. I'm thinking Edelman is a safer bet.

I didn't watch much of the NE/MIA game but did someone say Revis played a lot of zone? If you can find that out, it'd be helpful. But my hesitation is with Revis being on Allen most of the game. That was my issue with him in week 1 and he had an average game against Patterson.

I'm not so much worried about Sherman in Seattle but their entire D... and Sherman. But like last week showed, he can always break a big play.

I think Ellington is fine. He said his foot was sore, not hurt after the game (looked at as a good sign). As a Dwyer owner, I can tell you they got the ball to Ellington as early and often as possible last week. If he can play he's gong to get fed the ball.

Edelman is the safe choice.

Always enjoyed this thread.

.25 PPR
Pick 1 at the Flex
Terrance West vs NO
Keenan Allen vs SEA
Golden Tate vs CAR

Leaning towards West or Tate but I drafted Allen as a main flex option. Seattle may be too physical for the Chargers to do much on offense though. Thanks for your help!

With the news of Ben Tate being out, I'd lean towards West personally.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Usually don't have to ask about defenses, but here goes:

Saints vs. Cleveland
Lions vs. Giants

Neither defense really played well last week, but I just can't envision Cleveland doing anything without Cameron and the Lions D-Line vs. Giants O-Line could be a horrific mismatch.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Do I start Bernard Pierce tonight?

What are your other options?

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

What are your other options?

Gio Bernard is my #1

My options for RB2...
Ryan Mathews vs SEA
Bernard Pierce vs PIT
Maurice Jones-Drew vs HOU

I'd go with the Saints. The Giants looked more lost than bad on offense. They could easily play better. I agree with you on Cleveland. They will have to establish the run AND keep NO from scoring too much so they don't have to give up on the run. Tough task when Hawkins is your best passing target and your QB is average at best.

Gotta go with Pierce but just hope he scores. MJD is dealing with a hand injury and Mathews will be trying to find cracks in a wall for points.

Thanks for the input... Any other week my starters are Gio and Ryan but Ryan is going against Seattle this week so you know... Pierce it is... Harbaugh said he's gonna play a lot... And eventually I believe he gets his starting spot back.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

I am deciding between a group of 4 players to start in a PPR league. One running back spot and one flex is available.

Chris Ivory
Fred Jackson
Michael Crabtree
Andre Ellington

I'm more worried about him staying healthy. He was barely splitting carries before this year and still wound up getting hurt all the time. But as far as this week goes, I just don't know how the carries will be split up. He could have a good game but only get 10/15 touches.

Jackson is a definite for me so call that the RB spot.

For the other, it kind of depends on the health of the players come Sunday morning. I like Crabtree's match up against the Bears but last week's stats was probably partially do to not being 100%. Ellington should play but isn't 100% either. I'd pick between those two. I don't think Ivory will have as good of a game this week.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

PPR flex position pick 1
Doug Martin vs STL
Terrance West vs NO
Justin Hunter vs DAL

Martin's health is a concern but he did practice today. I think Hunter could go off against Dallas but he could be a boom or bust. I like West, but I don't think he saw any targets in the passing game last week. Thanks in advance.
