Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

In the championship in my league, have to go with Gates and Woodhead tonight because of this Beckham suspension and because Jonathan Stewart is injured. It's not a bad move per se (especially if Woodhead could do what he did last time haha), but I hate thinking I won't maximize whatever this way, but who knows!

In about 10 minutes, we'll see if this forced decision pays off!

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

I got this messed up...Lamar Miller actually had 20 points v NY Giants two weeks ago. So I plan to keep him in my line-up for the Championship game.

It was actually Calvin Johnson who has done jack lately - just ONE point in each of the last two weeks when he was usually a reliable 10 points per week.

So I'm thinking of dropping Megatron this week and throwing in either one of Ted Ginn or Jordan Matthews as a WR/FLEX. Thoughts?

My opponent has two players in the TNF game (Latavius Murray & Danny Woodhead) while none of my players are in action until Sunday...except Matthews on Saturday night if I decide to start him.

Yeah, Calvin's been playing hurt. It's hard to accept it (especially championship week) but I'll tell you I wish I accepted it with Cooper this week. The truth is Ginn has been producing and Calvin hasn't. It only makes sense to make that move.

It'd be tougher for me to do it with Matthews though, since he hasn't been a model of consistency himself so Calvin's higher ceiling may win in that one.

Gates didn't do you any favors but Woodhead had a good game. Good luck!

My gut is telling me Forte might not be the best flex play since TB is good against the run and RBBC.

Would Hightower vs JAX or Robinson @ NO be a better play?

It's not PPR so I usually don't play WR in flex but I have Aiken vs Pit and Landry vs Ind if it makes a difference. Maybe I'm overthinking it and should start my stud.

Quick one, if anyone is around -

Cousins at Philly tonight or take the risk with Brees At JAX tomorrow?

If Brees is ruled out tomorrow, best options are Tannehill against Indy, Cutler against TB or the likes of Weeden/Mallett/Hasselbeck/Gabbert/Manziel/McCarron.

So basically, if he's out I'm screwed. But I feel like Cousins is going to have a bad game just because.

Too late but I would've stuck with Forte but said Hightower if you were dead set on changing. Hopefully your gut told you Hightower.

Cousins has been a beast for at least a month... hopefully you went with him, but Brees didn't do too bad himself.

Brees actually scored more in my league than Cousins (who I started), but it didn't matter. Would've won no matter which one I started.

All or nothing time... Last week I screwed up and sat Hurns at the last minute, but I'm still sitting on a 10 point lead. Here's what I currently have:

Of course the one week I start Ginn, he gets injured and scores ZERO points while Megatron had 13 and even Jordan Matthews had 16...but both were on my bench only

Ultimately it didn't matter for my Championship game - my opponent smashed me 167-88 My entire squad only got 143 this week in comparison.

He had the Arizona D/ST (35 points) along with both Blake Bortles and Tim Hightower (28 each)...my top scorer was DeAngelo Williams with 27 points but no-one else scored more than 20!

Oh well...still overachieved making the final in my maiden Fantasy season

I need 2 WRs from this group- ARI. J.Brown, BAL. K.Aiken, NO. W.Snead, NYG. R.Randle and CAR. D.Funchess. 1 point for every 10 yds. and 6 per TD.

Re: 2015 "Who Should I Start" Thread

Thank you week 17 championship! Despite going down 20+ last week, I managed to wrangle out a 1 point win to win the championship in my first year with this league. Wanted to say thanks for all the WDIS advice all season guys.

Sorry to leave you hanging. Can't speak for everyone else but I've been mia for a couple of weeks. Hope you pulled it out!
