Re: Official "Who To Start" Thread

Who would you guys go with at the 3rd pick? (standard league) Should i roll the dice with Foster? Or go with my gut with Lynch? What about Martin, Spiller, Shady, or Rice?

You make a "Who to start" thread and then ask a draft question?

Just trying to get the convo going, I didnt have a team yet to ask a question about.

Re: Official "Who To Start" Thread

Have a dilemma in my TE and Flex positions for Week 1:

Have Gronk injured and on the bench. Also have Brandon Myers and Zach Sudfeld. Sudfeld's a really risky pick to start considering he's a UDFA and far from a sure thing, but knowing the Pats playcalling, he may get his fair share of looks against Buffalo.
On the other hand, Myers also is the undisputed starter at TE in New York but Eli has many more weapons on that Giants offense than Brady has in his passing game (for now). My gut is going with Sudfeld here. Your thoughts?

As for my Flex, I'm currently starting Shane Vereen against Buffalo but he's far from a sure thing. From my bench, the guys I'm narrowing down to take his place are either Eddie Lacy, Mark Ingram, Vincent Brown, Tavon Austin or the tight end I don't start (Myers/Sudfeld). It's a tricky call since every guy has his fair share of doubts and matchup issues. My gut is going with Vereen but also heavily leaning towards Lacy, even with his bad matchup. Not sure just yet, though.

Re: Official "Who To Start" Thread

Current situation: 14 owners league (head to head style)

FLEX - Denarius Moore (WR)
BEN - Vick Ballard
BEN - Matt Schaub (QB) backup to RG3
BEN - Santana Moss
BEN - Atlanta (DEF) starting Patriots for DEF

I'm looking at Kenny Still (WR) to pick up.

Who should I drop or should I stay the way i am?

I think Sudfeld is a good choice if Gronk doesn't start. Brady is still going to throw to his TE in that offense.

For your Flex, I would stay with Vereen. Lacy should have a good season if healthy, but that SF defense is no joke. Tavon Austin in an interesting choice, but I want to see how he's going to be used first.

I never carry 2 defenses, so I would drop one of those to pick up Stills.

Seahawks D/ST vs Carolina or Steelers D/ST vs Titans?

Seahawks D.. should get a few sacks and I doubt Carolina scores much.

Flex in PPR 10 team league

MJD vs KC
Or Desean Jackson vs Was

That's a tough one. KC's defense is pretty good and the PPR makes DeSean a more valuable play than normally.. my gut is to play MJD though.

Randall Cobb or Dwayne Bowe?

Cobb's injury has me worried.

Don't be. Cobb is basically Rodgers' top target now. As long as he plays, he'll be effective.

RGIII vs Eagles or Romo vs Giants / 4 pt passing TD / -1 pt INT / 1 pt 20 pass yards

Leaning to RGIII just because of how dynamic he is but I worry about how Washington will use him coming back in his first game action off the injury, if he has the green light to run run run still when he sees the opportunity it's an easier choice.

My opponent is starting Dez at WR so Romo would offset some of what he does as well.

I would go with Romo for the first week. I've heard some concerns about RGIII's throwing motion coming off of the knee injury, and you have to think his timing with his WRs will be off.

Romo is a solid fantasy QB, and I kind of think this game will be higher scoring, so I can see him throwing for 280+ yards and 2-3 TDs.

I want to see how RGIII looks before putting him in my lineup, especially if you have a viable 2nd option, which you do.

I'd go RG3 actually. Eagles defense is pretty bad

Re: Official "Who To Start" Thread

Cam Newton vs. Seattle
Andrew Luck vs. Oakland

Right now, I'm definitely leaning Luck pretty heavily.

5 points per passing TD.
