Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

So I'm having a little bit of a difficult situation this week. My league features defenses pretty prominently. Another team dropped the Dolphins D and I can have first dibs at claiming them.

Would you guys trust the Dolphins D against Houston or the Eagles D against Carolina this week?

Dolphins D for sure. After seeing what the Panthers did against Seattle, I understand why they're undefeated. Don't chance that Eagles D.

Don't really trust either one all that much so I'd probably stick with what I have or see which one looks the best going forward (especially during the playoff weeks).

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Julius Thomas vs Buffalo or Jordan Reed vs Tampa Bay?

Also, I need 1 RB and 1 FLEX

Charles Sims vs BUF
Theo Riddick vs MIN (he's listed as Questionable)
Michael Crabtree @ SD
Allen Hurns vs BUF (also listed as Questionable)

*injures and bye weeks have me scraping the bottom of the barrel this week.

Thomas looked good last week... 13 targets I think. I think Reed gets a ton of targets too so it is a tough one, but considering Reed's concussion history, he may not make it through the game. Since you have another option, I'd go with Thomas.

Hurns and Crabtree. Hurns has been upgraded to probable.

I've been reading a bit to get my lineups together this week, and I changed my mind. I still think you should start Crabtree, but I like Sims too. I still think Hurns is a solid start, but it's not the easiest match up, especially playing at 9:30am EST on the other side of the world. Sims should have a good enough game to make it not worth the risk.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Jimmy Graham continues to disappoint me this year lol. Went with the two TE look so Jimmy screwed up my flex spot. Would it be too much of a panic move to look at slotting in Tavon Austin in Allen Hurns' place in the starting lineup? Maybe going with Forsett after all over Dion Lewis?

Also better play at defense this week, Falcons D vs Titans or Steelers D vs Chiefs and what are your thoughts on the Eagles D moving forward they're out there on the wire, but I don't like their matchup this week.

As I mentioned in the last post, I still like Hurns. And Austin is still too unpredictable to me. He's kind of match up proof, but in a good and bad way... and pretty TD dependent. Hurns should get a ton of targets tomorrow.

Considering the Jets run D, I think Lewis is the play this week for NE... and I don't feel good about any Ravens. Maybe Tucker but that's even iffy.

I'd go with the Steelers. They're good against the run anyway, and can focus on Kelce in the passing game. Atlanta should be a good play too but Mettenberg actually isn't bad. He likes to throw deep so he could have a surprisingly good game. Better safe than sorry.

Eagles D depends on their offense. If you think they'll continue to move in the right direction, the D should be pretty good. If they go back to stalling, the D will be on the field too much.

How do you think Landry Jones getting the start would affect the Steelers' D? Possibly same situation with the Eagles where they might end up on the field too much?

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Think Adrians illness is a concern? I have him starting atm since he shreds the Lions defense.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Pick 2 WR, 1 Flex. Right now my lineup has the first three I'm listing.

Steve Smith
Jarvis Landry
Mike Evans
Brandin Cooks
Antonio Gates
Charcandrick West

My kicker is Josh Brown. Vinateri is available. Make the swap? I plan on taking McManus who my opponent dropped on bye and using no kicker if I have a big lead before the 4:25 games. My opponent already had Hyde + Graham go (7 pts total) and their only player after 1:00 is Ravens defense.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

My picks were good, Evans and Landry went off. Doesn't matter what Steve Smith does because I've already won. Swapped Josh Brown for McManus so I can have the #1 kicker.

Arian though. Hopefully Charcandrick can pick up where he left off.

Gurley, Marshall, Cooper and Diggs. Have room for two more flex plays (Antonio Brown is a lock) this week. I have Gurley and Marshall slotted in right now, but wanted opinions. Full point PR.

Gurley should be an automatic start every week at this point. They're feeding him the rock a ton, and he's damn good.

Marshall is banged up and the Jets QB situation right now is tenuous at best. By Cooper, I assume you mean Amari, and I think he or Diggs are both fine options. I'd probably go Copper.

I do mean Amari. I tend to use WRs in the flex spot in this league because of the point per reception, but Gurley is on fire right now so he's been going for me on a weekly basis. I don't love his matchup, but I can agree with him being a must-start.

Gurley is probably a top 10 back at this point. Going by ESPN's standard scoring, he is averaging 19.25 ppg. So his ppg is probably the best for a running back in fantasy this year. He is a must start every week. Dude literally could be the next AP.
