TE Start: Zach Miller or Visanthe Shiancoe? 

Post#1 » by sfam » Wed Sep 9, 2009 11:15 pm

I got Visanthe Shiancoe fairly late in the draft. Now everyone is looking at him as a potential break out guy. Should I be starting (basic Yahoo scoring) Zach Miller vs SD or Shiancoe vs Cleveland? My gut tells me that Shiancoe & Farve will connect a lot against Cleveland, but then again, who else does Oakland have to throw the ball to?

I have the same problem choosing between Carlson and Miller each week. I'm going Carlson for now but I would probably start Miller in your case, however, it's a close call due to matchups.

I agree that Miller seems more like a safer pick. I'm leaning this way but Cleveland's D just does not look scary to me.

Same problem. Drafted Carlson, Miller's on the wire. For this week though, Carleson v. St. Louis is a great matchup. Gotta go with that.

I think Carlson is in for a big year. I wouldn't drop him if you don't have to.

I agree, I drafted him in my money league ... I expect Hassleback to really help him this year.
