Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

So I gambled, started Williams as my RB2 to leave my Flex spot open to changes. Got 10 points out of it so not a terrible decision so far. Right now it's choosing whether to go Hurns or Langford with that Flex spot. Both have big questions for me as Forte has been practicing all week as if he's going to play Sunday not to mention its against the Rams D. Meanwhile it sounds like Hurns is going to play in a great matchup but everything about this foot issue sounds like it's pretty significant. Where's Marty McFly with that damn sports almanac when you need him? Lol

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

In this week's edition of Bmore's ****ty Running Backs, we have a choice between Alfred Blue and Matt Jones in the hopeless RB2 slot.

I'd go with Jones... but wouldn't be happy about it.

Ok I got a serious WR starting Issue.

I messed up and forgot to throw Eric Decker in the lineup before the Thursday game so he is out of the question now and is sitting on my bench with 17.50 points.

The others I got are:
OBJ vs NE
Demaryius Thomas vs KC
Marvin Jones vs Houston
Allen Hurns @ Baltimore

I can start 3 of them in both WR slots and the W/R/T slot.

Im dont know who to play, I am playing OBJ because I got Eli as my QB and its nice to get those double points.

DT goes up against a struggling KC team but has issues getting into the Endzone.

Marvin Jones is on a very talent rich Bengals offense and goes up againt a Texans Defense that gives TD's out like candy on Halloween.

Allen Hurns has just been a monster and goes up against struggling Baltimore Defense. However has the foot issue that knowbody knows anything about.

Im thinking OBJ, Hurns and DT or OBJ, Hurns, Jones

I think this is the definition of "First World problems" in the fantasy world, lol.

Anyway, OBJ, DT and Hurns if he's healthy... just keep an eye out to make sure he plays.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Through injuries and a BYE week, it has come to this... (FWIW the best WW options are Joique & Vereen)

RB2 in standard league, CJ Anderson or Antonio Andrews?


pls help

This is a tough one. I think I'd go with Andrews and the volume over Anderson and the match up. CJ is such a pain this year.

PPR, Flex

Doug Martin vs Dallas

Jamison Crowder vs Saints

Doug Martin hands down.

I could see Crowder having a big game, but I wouldn't expect it. DJax will get more looks, Crowder hasn't broken through any time before. And the other option is a RB with a great matchup with Sean Lee sitting out.

Yeah, Williams and his TD streak continues to be just enough.

I don't see any way Forte starts this week, but I'm not sure Hurns will either. The Ravens secondary is just terrible so it'd be hard to not play Hurns if he can go. But I expect Langford to get the bulk of the snaps again. The Rams are tough but his volume alone should get him a decent stat line. Just keep an eye on Hurns' availability and let that decide for you. As long as you don't start dead weight, you should have a decent day.

I know, my WR are great on my team.

Got DT, Hurns, Decker, OBJ and Marvin Jones.

Oh I'm anything but happy about it. Unfortunately, my RB situation in that league doesn't look to be getting any better either. Gotta hope Blount saves me.

So I don't trust Emmanuel Sanders at all since he hasn't practiced this week. 4:25 game time decisions are no fun.

Need a flex in standard. My pick is Jarvis Landry but I also have Brandin Cooks and CJ Anderson.

Nice choices. I'd go Landry or Cooks... both should have good games. Since we're splitting hairs, the Saints are more unpredictable offensively on the road and D. Hall should finally be back for WAS so I'd probably make Landry 1a to Cooks' 1b.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

When you freak out all week about your fantasy team and then dominate and win your matchup by halftime of the afternoon games. A feeling so, so sweet lol. Thanks for the advice wwharton, took some gambles this week that paid off for once after getting kicked in the face the past few weeks with all these injuries.

Nice work!

Kinda painful watching the Chiefs get to that big game though... it was like watching Jordan in his last year in a Wizards uniform.

Romo vs Miami or Carr vs Detroit??

Brees at Houston or Eli at Washington?

If I can't trade Dalton, is he droppable at this point? 10 team league. Ravens at home week 17 might be enticing to keep him, but otherwise Brees + Eli have good matchups.

I'd rarely have 2 QBs in a 10 team league... let alone three.

Brees is a different animal on the road. I'd go with Eli.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Pick two:

Latavius Murray @ TEN
LeGarrette Blount @ DEN
Giovani Bernard vs STL
Javorius Allen @ CLE

I think right now I'm leaning Allen and Bernard, but I could definitely make a case for Murray.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Pick two RB and one FLEX in standard.

Rawls vs PIT
Freeman vs MIN
C. West vs BUF
Forte @ GB
J. Landry @ NYJ

It's hard to tell right now with injuries. I'm thinking Rawls and Freeman for sure if he returns from concussion protocol, but not sure about West or Forte. I haven't heard West's status and Forte is playing off an injury Thursday night. I could just go with Landry in the FLEX as a safe ~8 pt floor play.

Edit: might go with Forte so I have an excuse to watch the 8:30 game so I can be too tired to go shopping at 4am with the fam lol.
