2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

So I need help with my lineup this week. My major question marks this week are my Running Backs and Tight Ends. For running backs I have either Chris Ivory, Eddie Lacy, Knile Davis or Shane Vereen. Currently I have Chris Ivory and Knile Davis starting. I am wondering though should I start Lacy over Davis in hopes that he has a breakout game or going with Vereen as he is a game time decision but faces Oakland who can't stop the run. Then with tight ends I have either Delanie Walker or Vernon Davis.

Definitely start Lacy over either of them. I'd keep Davis in but keep an eye on whether or not Charles is active by game time. If he is, you'll want to pull Davis. I'm not sure Vereen or Ivory play late to make that a possibility. If not, either is fine but Vereen is questionable too. I think NE will give the rock to Ridley if they get up by a lot and just run out the clock.

TE, Davis may be the best option of all TEs this week... if healthy. If not, Walker is a very solid choice. Hopefully you can double check tomorrow around 12:30 est.

Need help with my FLEX guy. Right Now I have Steve Smith there but have the following choices:
-Andre Ellington
-Pick up Sammy Watkins

(Looking to trade and if it goes through)
- Deandre Hopkins

(if it doesn't)
-Larry Fitzgerald
-Frank Gore

Who would you drop for Watkins? I like that choice. I think I prefer Gore also. Hard to not trust Smith the way he's started the season, but Cleveland has 2 very good corners.

Non PPR

Flex: Jeremy Hill vs the Titans or
Trent Richardson vs the Jaguars

Hill

Cecil Shorts in his debut against the Colts

Kendall Wright against Bengals

Michael Crabtree against Cardinals

I'meaning towards Shorts because Crab and Kendall are going to be covered by some great DBs

I think I agree with you.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Joique Bell, Terrance West, Donald Brown...need 2 (one for rb one for flex...could use Kelvin Benjamin or Toby Gerhardt (lol) also)

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Looks like Brown will take most of the work, plus the goalline work. Really love him for the time Mathews is out.

PPR or not? West can catch the ball well and I guess Browns will have to rely a lot of short passes and runs this week against the Ravens, so I would definitly put him over Bell. Mixing in Benjamin could be a nice idea, too. But I am really not sure about the Steelers defense.

Aaron Dobson vs OAK
or
Andrew Hawkins vs BAL

PPR

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Damn, and I thought my team is bad but if you have to take a choice like that..

Even with the matchup for the Pats I would take Hawkins here, no brainer. Dobson is no real option for Brady, even on that bad receiver squad. Hawkins already made some nice catches and seems to see most of the targets.

Yeah, it's not exactly pretty but I'm 2-0 so far so apparently I have a horseshoe up my *** for once when it comes to fantasy.

Not to get off-topic but this is what I'm working with:

Dalton
Crabtree
Jackson (I'm assuming he's not going to play today)
McCoy
Sproles
Gates
Jonathan Stewart

CJ1K
Dobson
Hawkins
Bortles
MJD
Gordon (stashing him)

Cooks against the Vikings or Antonio Brown against the Panthers?

I'm in a ten teams ESPN standard scoring league. Who do I start in my flex today: Kniles Davis, Matt Asiata, Brandin Cooks, or Kelvin Benjamin?

Brees or Rivers?

Glad I went with my gut and started cousins.

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Oh Joique Bell ... why do you score when you're on the bench and put up a dud when I finally flex you ahead of Andre Ellington, Pierre Thomas, and Donald Brown?

Had Stafford today too. Had Dennis Pitta in my starting lineup. Losing patience with Cordarrelle Patterson. I'd be completely finished this week if I hadn't streamed the Colts defense. Need big games from Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte.

Sorry for venting.

So I'm gonna grab two QBs off the waiver wire this week. Which two of the following would you get?

Blake Bortles

Teddy Bridgewater

Eli Manning

Austin Davis

Drew Stanton

Mike Glennon

Shaun Hill

I'm thinking of taking one of the rookies and then Eli, because he seems to be better the last two weeks? Help me decide.

Your choices were Cousins or Foles right? Really couldn't go wrong with either.

Everybody and their mother had this as a great match up for Bell. He burned me too. This entire game went different than I expected.

As for the other question, check out the waiver pick up thread (keeping this one on topic).

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

Choose one, non ppr

Matt asiata vs Atlanta
Khiry Robinson vs Dallas
Fred Jackson vs Houston

Re: 2014 OS "Who To Start" Thread

2 QB League, I have to start one of these QBs. I'm leaning Bortles because I'm projected to lose by quite a bit this week and I think Bortles has the most potential to go off for a big number. What do you guys think?

Blake Bortles @ SD
Teddy Bridgewater vs ATL
EJ Manuel @ HOU
