Week 3 Who to start 

Post#1 » by YiYaoYue » Wed Sep 17, 2008 6:26 am

2 of the 4 RBs
Addai - Jags
Turner - KC
Forte - TB
Sproles - NYJ

2 of the 3 WRs
Coles @ SD
Driver - Dal
Edwards @ BAL

worried about Addai and Edwards.
Sasha Vujacic = The Phail Machine = The Ring Blocker

Trade Sasha before he ruins the Lakers next season.

Turner for sure... KC is terrible on defense. For the other back i would lean towards addai because the matchup is more favorable than say forte v/s tampa or sproles v/s jets. .

Out of the recievers am not sure. All 3 are difficult matchups. I would probably go Driver and Edwards

I would not start Addai. The Colts offensive line is in shambles. 3 of the 5 starters are out and Jeff Saturday is coming back this game off of an injury. Also, Tony Ugoh injured his groin last week so who knows how effective he will be if he plays...

I'll go Turner + Forte on the backs. I don't like Addai against Jacksonville because Indy's OL is too banged up, and because I think Jacksonville will throw the kitchen sink at Indy to win that game. SD + NYJ have better QBs than Chi/TB, so that game can become a passing affair. I think Chi/TB will more than likely be a tough, grind it out kind of offense which means the backs should get plenty of carries at the very least.

WRs are tough though. I'll go Driver with GB at home, and I might be tempted to go with Edwards against Baltimore. Same reasoning as the Jaguars, I think SD will come out looking to spill blood after the start they've had. I would not want to bet against them right now.

stewart (mcfadden is injured... not comfortable with addai either so i'm sitting him too)

patten (i think bernard is injured)


Back to my question: Should i drop sproles and get patten or matt jones to start this week over coles/edwards?

Carson Palmer has been struggling badly so far, and Jake Delhomme has been decent so who should I start?

Palmer or Delhomme?

I would go with Delhomme, especially because Steve Smith is coming back this week

PPR league: Edge, F. Taylor, Norwood, or Deangelo Williams

1 point per catch, 1 point per 10 rushing yards, 6 points per TD

I got Westbrook as my #1 and the rest of these guys as a potential #2. I'm starting Desean Jackson at flex since it's a PPR league and I expect him to have a better game than the rest of these guys. I have Edge in there right now but with him getting all his TD possibilities vultured away I'm starting to get sick of it and considering starting Norwood or Taylor instead.

For your runningbacks I would start, LT2, Lewis, and Stewart.

At QB, I would start Rivers vs the Jets.
