Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Fitzgerald vs. Giants
Kelvin Benjamin vs. Detroit

I would have normally said Fitz but with Palmer being inactive this is a toss up for me.

I think Drew Stanton is a capable backup but I think that downgrades Fitz enough to start Benjamin.

----
(Standard Scoring)
FLEX: Andre Ellington @ Giants or Terrance West vs. Saints
WR2: (pick two) Justin Hunter vs. Cowboys, Pierre Garcon vs. Jacksonville, Vincent Jackson vs. Rams

FLEX: Like you said: Palmer out, so the Cards will run the ball more and even if Arians doesn´t like Ellington he will see his touches today and don´t forget that he can catch the ball too. Will be a good option today.

WR: Garcon is set I would say. As 2nd I would take Jackson because Rams D without Long will mean a lot double team for Quinn, so their D won´t be as good as normal. Plus, their offense is really bad so the Buccs will see a lot time with the ball.

All good points.

I think I'm going to start Garcon. I just realized that the team I am playing just benched Palmer for RG3. I figure if RG3 has a big game, I can hopefully get some of those points back.

I'm just afraid that with Palmer out of the game the Cardinals offense struggles. This is also a road game for the Cardinals on the east coast.

Chris Long is out but isn't that regarded as the best and deepest defensive line in football?

Cam vs Detroit or RG3 vs J'Ville?

Started Cam. Thankfully.

What's your matchup look like? Is it PPR?

I think Sproles is the safer bet. He's going to get touches. Hilton could have a big game but he could also have four catches for 50 yards.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Jeffery is still questionable, I will sit him against the 9ers. Fitz should do a nice job against the Giants so you could take him for the WR spot.

Gore seems like he is really done, just like last year after the bye. The Saints used Ingram a lot last week so you should put him in FLEX, I guess he has a great chance to score again this week.

Quick question for my team: My matchup will be really close this week, so every decision matters.

Cardinals vs Giants
Texans vs Raiders

2 great defenses with 2 great matchups. Somehow I think Eli will bounce back from last week and the Texans scored huge last week. So should I go with the Texans?

Just wanted to reply to say that Gore doesn't look done at all. I know the game is already played but for future reference... Gore's touches were limited in week 1 because they were winning by so much. Who knows how he'll look in the playoff weeks for fantasy football or how often he'll lose touches bc of the score, but he's still running hard.

Cam vs Detroit or RG3 vs J'Ville?

I had the same decision and started Cam all the way up to Saturday... when I switched him out and put in RG3 bc of the match up. Meanwhile I also had a hunch and put Niles Paul in my WR/TE flex spot... all the way up to Saturday when I switched him out for Nicks.

This is in a 16 team league where I have AP and my best bench RBs are MJD and Dwyer. Fate said I would lose before the games started, but if I had left my lineup alone I would've won anyway. Bad week for me.

Started sproles in my .5 ppr and was a good call. Lol. Ended up beating my opponent by 30 pts and we were tied going into tonight.

Just took my impression from last year(after bye no double digit pts), the week 1 look and the perspective of Hyde in this. But yeah, seems like you´re closer to the truth then I am- he really was nice this week again.

Sproles seems to play for the fantasy MVP title this year, huge upside from his average draft position. He went 9th round in my PPR league and he leads every RB after week 2.

Yeah I wanted to chime in bc I watched the week 1 game. His stats were only down bc they didn't need him anymore so might as well save his legs.

As for Sproles, that's a steal in a PPR league. But remember it's only 2 weeks in. The touches will be different from week to week.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

In a PPR league (pick 2):

Torrey Smith vs CLE
Golden Tate vs GB
Andrew Hawkins vs Bal
Hakeem Nicks vs Jax

Thinking of benching Torrey after Cleveland shutout Colston last week and Flacco hasn't been giving him love, but not sure either Hawkins or Nicks is strong enough to supplant him. Nicks only bc Jax looks to be awful, and Hawkins has been getting lots of looks and may be finally worth a start. Thoughts?

Also....RB conundrum in PPR league w/ Charles hurt. I need 2 of

Danny Woodhead vs Buf
Donald Brown vs Buf
Bernard Pierce vs Cle
Toby Gerhart vs Ind
SJax vs TB

Ppr?

WR = Hawkins, Tate
RB = Woodhead...and then I'd go Pierce I think

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

PPR
1 pt per catch
1 pt for every 25 yards

10 Team League - I'm 0-2 and I need this win.

Choose 3 out of these RBs to start:

Matt Forte @ NYJ
Giovani Bernard vs TEN
Andre Ellington vs SF
Joique Bell vs GB
Pierre Thomas vs MIN
Donald Brown @ BUF

Also, who would be your #4 guy?

Also, choose a QB (2 QB league):

EJ Manuel vs San Diego
Chad Henne vs Indianapolis
