Week 2 Starter Advice

[vincecarter4pres]

My dilemma:

RB - Morris, Sproles, Dwyer, or Benson
WR - Maclin, Decker, or T, Young.
Flex - whoever's left over.

Morris is borderline must start against the Rams, but we all know the Shanahan deal. Think I probably go with Morris, Sproles, and then Maclin if he's healthy and Decker otherwise.

So I'm picking 2 and 2 and a Flex right?

Give me Morris and Sproles at RB.

Give me Decker and if Maclin's healthy and playing obviously him.

Flex I'll roll the dice with Dwyer.

I need help as well, want to see what people think about starting Britt?
My WR core: Julio Jones, Harvin, Britt
My Rb core: Mccoy, Ridley, MJD
out of these 6, help me chose 5 (2 of each, one @ flex)....so right now I was thinking Ridley/Mccoy, Harvin/Jones and Britt @flex. MJD might still be rusty and Hou is a good run D even if its in Jax. Thoughts?

I think Britt is the clear odd man out this week. Too much risk, plus your other options are all very good and I dont think MJD will be affected like CJ was last year bc they are different types of RB's.

Agree with Blue, I'm waiting a week on Britt, he's supposed to be limited to about 20 or snaps and you're fine with Jones and Harvin this week anyway.

Obviously the other 3 then. In fact those 3 RB's are every week must starts to me no matter match up.

I am thinking of taking my chance to bench DeSean Jackson(Against the Ravens defense.), and start Cobbs(Against the Bears defense.) over him but not to sure if that is a good idea or not? What do you think?

I would definitely start Thomas and Jackson, and then decide between Floyd and Cobb as your third WR.

Thomas and Jackson are your best WRs here. If you are going to sit Jackson, it would need to be for a much safer play than Cobb, who is trending up but is relatively unproven, and is no guarantee to get consistent targets from Rogers. If you want to go safe, play Floyd. If you want to go upside, play Cobb.

I disagree, but especially because DeSean pulled a hammy today.

Jennings likely out and they're going to start getting Cobb involved a lot more starting this week.

He returns kicks, lines up wide, slot and they said they're going to start giving him consistent touches out of the backfield both on handoffs and screens. Wait til he gets RB eligibility, he's a great trade target if you don't own him.

Floyd has a nice match up this week and has put up big games when healthy his whole career. Ride him til he gets hurt, Mathews comes back and/or Meachem gets worked in a little more.

Thomas
Floyd
Cobb

For me in .5 PPR for my flex:
K. Smith at SF
Dwyer vs NYJ
M Bush at GB
Collie (assuming he plays) vs MIN (put a ww bid in for him)

Bush.

Same league at TE:
Tamme at ATL
Rudolph at IND

Flip a coin lol?

Both really solid plays.

You know, gimme Rudolph this week. I think Ponder and AP can get it up and down the field, you may get some nice red zone opps with him, even with AP in there.

Also, this is going to sound ridiculous but in .5 PPR:

CJ.004K or Morris...the rest of my team is pretty good if makes a difference (safe vs upside)

Hmm... I really don't like CJ and Morris has a really good match up.
I'm still going CJ though. He's probably good to top 100 total yards and snag about 5 to 8 receptions this week and has a chance at breaking a long TD.

2 of 3 "Fantasy Experts" that I've seen say take Cobb over DJax. Tough call though.


For me:

1. TRich or M Bush (Standard Scoring)
2. Pick 3: Welker/Harvin/A Brown/Decker/T Smith. (Standard Scoring)
Thanks!

I got skipped!!!

You're going to need to repost this with an updated lineup sir.

[vincecarter4pres]

Need 2 (PPR):
Adrian Peterson
Wes Welker
Percy Harvin
Doug Martin
Stevan Ridley

^^^AP & Ridley

Yeah I'm going to agree.

They're all nice plays, but give me those two.

[Bleeding Blue]

^^^great, Thx...

how bout D, Dall or GB?

No way I would start the GB defense, too much risk. Its possible Chicago could hang 30 on them. I would go Cowboys

[Bleeding Blue]

Pick 2:

Wayne vs MIN, Garcon @ STL, Colston @ CAR

I am leaning Wayne & Colston, I really like garcon this year but he does have a foot injury. I feel I have to start Colston since my opposing QB is Brees.

Thoughts?

Mbush
harvin/welker/Smith

Who would be a better flex start this week?

V. Jackson vs. NYG
A. Morris vs. Rams


At the moment I'm planning to start Jackson, but I'm still considering Morris since he is playing against the Rams.

My first thoughts as well.....the Garcon being injured part. Wayne and Colston are my choices.

A. Morris vs. Rams

I like Morris by a good amount. Tampa's O is still meh and Morris is going to get 25+ touches probably against a bad D. Its hard for Morris to have a bad game in those conditions.

Do you trust that Morris will get those touches with Shanahan there? Only reason why I'm iffy about starting Morris at the flex.

One of these weeks, Morris will be benched and you won't know why. I don't see that happening this early on. Roll with Morris!

Well I know one thing, freaking Marshall disappointed me to no end this week....a dud as they say.

Truth.

Weird game tonite in general. In a night that Jennings is out, of course Donald Driver was the highest scoring Packer WR(outside PPR scoring). Disappointing night for both Cobb and Jones, consistency in the Packers offense is going to just be so hit or miss outside of Jennings and Nelson (and I think Benson ... in most match-ups) this year. Good game for Benson though. Quick everyone go check and see if he was dropped in your league (silly play if someone did, but I know at least one of my leagues someone jumped ship on him!). His production won't always be this good(obviously), but it's going to be closer to this then it was against the 49ers, imo.

I was playing against Cutler and Marshall this week. Huge sigh of relief here.

To update, I actually lost Morris because I got him due to a waiver priority mix up. I need to choose 1 RB, 1 WR, and 1 flex from this group (other starters are Murray and Cruz):
RB - Sproles, Dwyer (had Benson on my bench; also have Turbin and Leshoure as lottery tickets, but they're not in play this week)
WR - Maclin, Decker, T. Young

There are a few interesting names on the waiver wire (K. Wright, L. Moore, Holmes, McCluster, Amendola, LaFell for WRs, and Hunter and Helu for longshot RBs), but I don't think any of them are startable.

I think it's Sproles, Maclin, and Decker. What would it take for me to consider Dwyer over anyone?

[NW7]

I think it's Sproles, Maclin, and Decker. What would it take for me to consider Dwyer over anyone?

I think that is definitely the play. However, Maclin's dealing with that injury and hasn't practiced all week I believe. So if you assume Maclin is out for the game, and you have to choose between Dwyer and T. Young... Man is that ugly. Would have to go Dwyer in that spot though, even though I don't love either play.

[b_mind]

I'm still either pissed at Cutler, Marshall, or that O-line of theirs that did nothing. lol I can feel I'm going to lose just because of this game by Marshall this week.
