The Official OS "Who to Start" Thread

[rangerrick012]

I figured I'd start one of these, since a lot of folks will be asking this over the next few days or so, so hopefully this one thread can be the place all season for folks to place their lineup quandrys.

For my WR and WR/RB position I'm torn between 5 guys
Ochocinco (vs MIA), Mike Thomas (vs TEN), Pierre Garcon (vs HOU), Fred Jackson, and CJ Spiller (vs KC). Thinking of starting Ocho at my 2nd WR w/ Calvin Johnson, and using Mike Thomas in the flex position. PPR league.

In another league, I'm really weak at WR, so I have 2 spots between
Ochocinco (vs MIA), Boldin (vs PIT), Garcon (vs HOU), and Plaxico (vs DAL). Right now I'm starting Ocho and Boldin, but not sure how Indy's offense will do w/o Manning, even though they're facing Houston's defense.

Also at TE - Marcedes Lewis (vs TEN) or Dustin Keller (vs NYJ)?

Re: The Official OS "Who to Start" Thread

Should I start Bradford or Hasselbeck? I know this might sound weird, but the Philly defense looks scary. I know the Rams are talking about beating the dream team by only allowing 2 of the 3 great corners be on the field at a time, but I'm not convinced. Matt on the other hand is facing a terrible pass rush and secondary against the Jags. However, Hasselbeck is having trouble adjusting to the new offense, unlike Bradford who apparently is fitting right into the new scheme. Please help..

Don't start Garcon or Spiller until they show you they deserve it. I think I'd start Jackson over Ocho but one of those two (along with Thomas... Ocho needs to show me he's ready too in that new system).

2nd league, it's gonna be a tough week for you at WR. I don't like any of those guys for a big week but I guess I'd go with Boldin and either Ocho or Plaxico... probably in that order. TE, six in one 1/2 dozen in the other but I'd pick Keller.

Hasselbeck is a bye week fill in until proven otherwise, and I don't even think he's a great option there at this point. Start Bradford.

Ochocinco & Mike Thomas - Always good for ppr leagues to start a RB in the flex spot. Especially one that will get a lot of touches.

Ocho & Bolden - Really don't think its that hard of a choice. Steelers D is great, but their weakness is against the pass.

I'd go Bradford. I think he'll throw for more way more yards due to the Eagles having the lead. Jags are awful, but i expect the Titans to be winning the game late.

Green-Ellis (vs MIA), Fred Jackson (vs. KC) or Spiller (vs. KC) pick one.

I'd go with BenJarvus. He had a great preseason, and I think he'll run for at least one score against Miami.

Should I start Felix Jones against NYJ or Cedric Benson against CLE?

Re: The Official OS "Who to Start" Thread

Matt Ryan (@CHI) or Kyle Orton (vs. OAK)?

I'd go with Jones, only because Benson is still a ? to me. I'm not sold on him at all. I'd wait a week and see what he's made of before you start him. We already know Jones is explosive, even if it is against the Jets.

Tim Hightower vs the giants or Felix Jones vs the Jets..

Steve Johnson (KC) or Brandon Marshall (NE)?

I just picked up Marshall in a trade. Derrick Ward for Marshall. The guy offered it to me. Seems like a total fleecing. I can see why he had to do it though. He missed the draft and was on auto. His RBs are Foster, Shonn Greene, John Kuhn, Alex Green (GB), Justin Forsett, Ronnie Brown, & Rich Alexis (STL). 20 players to a team in the league and no starters available.

Johnson by a hair, talent-wise I think Marshall would be your guy, but I think Stevie will put up more yards/ TD's

Re: The Official OS "Who to Start" Thread

Benson (@Browns), Moreno (@OAK), or Turner (@CHI)?


I need some Week 1 lineup advice. My RB's are

Johnson
Benson
Moreno
Turner

Johnson is a lock for me, the question is Turner, Benson, or Moreno for the 2nd spot?

I am in a standard league, non ppr, 10 teams.

Benson. Cleveland's run D isn't that great and he's not in a time share... and Felix plays the Jets.

Matt Ryan (@CHI) or Kyle Orton (vs. OAK)?

Ryan. I want to see how much passing will be involved in Fox's offense before I start Orton anywhere.

Hightower. Giants injuries all over the place and see above.

Benson (@Browns), Moreno (@OAK), or Turner (@CHI)?

Moreno. Fox will have them running. You could gamble with Turner, hoping he scores a couple of TDs but I don't see him getting too many yards. I think Benson's an ok option too but like Moreno the best.
