Week 5 Start/Sit

[hermes]

ya pitt isn't who they were last year

i'll be watching his injury closely, i think he's expected to play though

[RaoulDuke79]

So, out of Ray Rice, Steve Slaton, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Jerome Harrison, which 3 should I go with? I'm not very confident in Slaton but I am leaning towards him, Harrison, and definitely Bradshaw.

Hate to bench Rice though, oh decisions decisions...

Is it PPR? I also have Slaton, Rice, and Bradshaw in my league, and am going Slaton/Rice. Slaton could be boom or bust, but I couldn't sit him, thats why we drafted him so high, right? Rice is money in PPR, and he's not even getting TD's. I like his matchup. But I am a Browns fan, and while Harrison should continue to get catches, DA has a horrible time on the short bailout passes.

Tough call, but any 3 isn't bad...I'd go Slaton/Rice/Harrison

BTW, a TE question, I dropped Shiancoe and added Brent Celek as my only TE, then I just got offered Tony Gonzalez for DeSean Jackson. I don't know much about Celek, is he really fo'real? But I'm loaded at WR, so...I dont know.

I'd give it this week with McNabb to see who his favorite targets definitely are.

1 PPR league: Maroney (Taylor out almost all season) @ DEN or Austin Collie & Ten

[Test of Wills]

Washington, Smith (DET, Harrison and Grant for 2 spots at the RB position.

Who should I start?

[Wasp]

Washington, Smith (DET, Harrison and Grant for 2 spots at the RB position.

Who should I start?

I'd go with Washington - Smith is facing PIT, a tough defense, and Rex Ryan spoke out saying he wanted more touches for Washington.

Now for me: Kenny Britt vs. IND or Braylon Edwards (yay TRADE!) vs. MIA?

[ElectricMayhem]

I'd say if you're an underdog, go for Braylon Edwards. Otherwise, take the sure few points with Britt.

McNabb (TB) or Flacco (CIN) at QB?

1 PPR league: Maroney (Taylor out almost all season) @ DEN or Austin Collie & Ten

Maroney has been awful so far this year. But I do think this is a put up or shut up game for him. I'd take a chance on him, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Sammy Morris takes over in this game.

[Maritimer]

Bit of a dilemma here. My 8 RB/WRs:

Turner @SF
Bradshaw v.OAK
C. Williams @PHI
S. Smith v.WAS
Bowe v.DAL
H. Ward @DET
Walter v.ARI
Massaquoi @BUF

I have to sit 3 (start 2 WRs, 2 RBs and a flex). To me, there are a lot of potential big games there and a few potential let downs. I *think* 2 of my sits are Williams and Massaquoi, since Philly's D will shut down Tampa (though all it takes is one touchdown and he's got value), and since Massaquoi will be the focus of Buffalo's pass defense. The other is who? Bowe against Dallas' terrible pass D? Turner, even though Atlanta has spent two weeks working on their run blocking schemes to free him up? Smith v. Washington, since Delhomme might suck less than Washington's D? Also worth noting that I'm going to have to drop one player to play a kicker this week (see the other thread I started).

Help!!!

[Maritimer]

The more I think about it, I think I'll be starting Turner and Bradshaw (sitting Cadillac) and starting Ward, Walter and Bowe (sitting Smith and Massaquoi). Good idea? I was a little surprised to see that Washington is 4th best in the league when it comes to ypg passing allowed, but then again they've faced NYG (before the passing game blew up), Stl, Det and TB. Not exactly a murderer's row of QBs. I feel like I'm overthinking this...

[Pharmcat]

for my last rb spot, kevin smith (against pit), or donald brown or caddy williams?

any thoughts?

[SpReEfOrAlL]

Moreno v.s NE or Steven Jackson against Minnesota?

And I need to 2 out of these 3. Ochocinco, DeSean Jackson, and Mike Sims-Walker.

Pit might not be the best match up for Smith, but no one is going to be taking his carries. I would start Smith.

[VinnyTheMick]

Should I sit NYG Steve Smith & start Hakeem Nicks since Asomugha will be on Smith today? I think that will allow for Nicks to get some big grabs.

i would go moreno

sims-walker and desean

[Test of Wills]

Kevin Smith vs. PITT or Washington vs. Dolphins for the last RB spot!

I need an answer quick plz!

[Maritimer]

Maybe, but is Nicks actually going to be the 2nd wide receiver? I actually don't care for NYG's receivers at all this game, since they'll likely just grind Oakland down with Jacobs and Bradshaw.

Spree -- I think you sit 85. He's been big, but they're goin up against Baltimore, whereas Jackson and Sims-Walker have great matchups against TB and Seattle respectively.

Pharmcat -- I would go Smith as well. No time share, so he'll be out there for passing downs and should contribute. Sounds like Addai and Ward are both ready to play this week.

Anyone want to give a bit of advice for me?
2 of Turner, Bradshaw, Cadillac
3 of Smith (CAR), Bowe, Ward, Walter

I think Nicks could take some plays away from Manningham since Mario dropped so many passes last week. I think I'll stay with Steve Smith though. I also have Carolina's Steve Smith & Larry Fitzgerald. I'm starting Bradshaw & Slaton at rb as well. Flacco is my qb & Vernon Davis is my TE (Keller on the bench). NYG is my defense. I think I'll be good this week.

Ended up going with Collie last minute and it won me the week! Thank God since it looks like Sammy Morris is the main man in NE now.
