Who To Start And Sit?

[bauer77]

Pick 2 and a flex:
Jamaal Charles vs. ARI
Leshaun McCoy vs NYG
Michael Turner vs STL
Peyton Hillis vs JAC

Pick 2 or the flex from here:
Miles Austin vs DET
Steve Johnson vs CIN
Wes Welker vs IND
Pierre Garcon vs NE

who's the better defense? i dont think i need to waste a roster spot for 2, so im gonna drop one.
ARI or NO

[cant knock the hustle]

RB Peyton Hillis
RB Jamaal Charles
WR Miles Austin
WR Pierre Garcon
Flex Michael Turner

The flex position is the biggest toss-up. You have some good RB's who are guaranteed touches and make great flex options. Even though Turner has been up and down, the Falcons should get up on the Rams and rely on the run game to chew up the clock.

[cant knock the hustle]

Need 2 WR's:

Santonio Holmes vs. HOU (Cotchery out for this game)
Nate Washington vs. WAS
Brandon Marshall vs. CHI (Thigpen in at QB)
Steve Johnson vs. CIN

Right now I'm leaning towards Holmes and Washington. I am also starting Fred Jackson at the flex. Thanks.

I think you should go with Marshall... When Thigpen had that great statistic season in KC, he went to Bowe early and often... You gotta think he'll do the same with Marshall... Obviously it's a risky bet, but so are the rest of your guys I'd go with Marshall and Holmes...

Man I love your RB's. All are great plays. But Hillis and Turner get the nod because of the matchup and amount of carries they'll get. McCoy is a great option, but we did see the emergence of Jerome Harrison again, who I think we'll eat into some production and the Giants should come out motivated at home. Flex I would play Charles with the great matchup.

Steve Johnson and Miles Austin. Ride the pony on Austin. They look to be playing hot under the new ball coach and they have a great matchup. Wes and Pierre have fallen from my good graces for the time being.

This week is NO. They have Seattle going across country, they are coming off a bye. Should get some turnovers. Arizona is very opportunistic. But Howling is banged up for the return game, and the Chiefs do a very good job of not turning over the ball.

Hmmmm they are all about on an even playing field. So it comes down to matchups. Holmes has the best matchup and with Cotchery out could have a very good game. So Holmes is one. The other one I would go with Steve Johnson and hope he has a bounce back game.

Its amazing how we all are just bypassing Marshall nowadays.

Dez Bryant as a ppr monster against the good matchup w/ the Lions. Brandon Marshall only because you are in a ppr league and it can't get any worse. Percy Harvin if he plays.

I'm leaving the ppr gods in Amendola and Wes out.

Sit or Start Question:

Garrard or Palmer
Ravens D or Lions D
Heap or Gresham

All opinions are welcome, that way I can spread the blame . Good luck to everyone this week.

Turner the Burner. 20+ carries a score and a game that is heavily on his shoulders on the road. Jamaal Charles because of the excellent matchup.

Don't underestimate the Cleve! But with that being said, I'd still go with Garrard. It's close. But Cleveland's main weakness on defense is the pass and Garrard has been on fire. So MJD might have a bad game in terms of YPC but Garrard should make up for it.

Ravens D. If it isn't this game its never. 3rd string RB & QB. There's not much to rely on. If we get up early and force the young QB to throw. We could be pick city.

Both are feast or famine players. But rolling the dice and I'll say Gresham. Bills will have to cover both Owens and CO which will leave this big target open.

Rice, Turner and Charles. thats a very impressive group of RBs you've got. the steelers will go all out to stop McFadden and the other 3 all have pretty good matchups.

Mike Vick vs NYG or
Peyton manning vs. NE


and i just picked up Dez Bryant off the waiver wire...should i start him over either Steve Johnson or Miles Austin?

I'd start Dez Bryant over Johnson, not Austin.

Not sure about the QB. Giants defense is good so I think I'd go with Manning.

[svt2nv04]

Pick 2 RBs:

Mendenhall, Rice, Foster, Torain.

Most likely Torain is out though and I'm definitely starting Rice, so I guess I'm asking opinions on Mendenhall or Foster?

would that hurt me starting 2 WRs from the same team?

I wanted to say that too, but I got stuck because he would be starting both Cowboys Receivers. If Cowboys come out poor again, then both WRs go down in flames.

hahaha you beat me to it

[svt2nv04]

Yep, sorry guys. I replied too fast. I am of the same philosphy of it being a risk doing that.

Austin is a #1 WR but Bryant has done well lately. Johnson is a hit or miss, he's up and down every week. So the question is, which is riskier and/or which risk are you willing to take?

One again PuRock, your input is much appreciated.

On a side note would you take OKST and give up the 23 against Kansas?

It might actually be the best if he goes with Austin and Dez. They are the two best options with the best matchups.

But if I didn't do that I'd go with Dez (since he and Kitna have a bro connection going on) and Stevie J.

appreciate the input as always Pu!

I also have a WR question for another team. Start 3.

Ochocinco, Knox, P. Crayton, Gaffney, C. Johnson.

I currently have Johnson, Knox, and Ocho in as starters.

Off topic question that just popped in my mind. Didn't Chad just get engaged? If he gets married, would she take his last name as "Ochocinco"?

i havent heard much of knox all season, i drafted him and held onto him for a few weeks and he didnt do much so i dropped him. and i think Malcom Floyd is going to be back this week so Crayton's receptions might be going down. So Johnson and Chad are good. and i guess i;d stick with Knox too

[Jamal]

Marshawn Lynch or Fred Jackson?

Anthony Armstrong, Nate Washington, or James Jones?

Go with F-Jax. He's going to receive a lot of touches and has a solid chance to hit pay-dirt.

I'd go with James Jones. Minnesota's defensive backfield has routinely gotten scorched, Jones is very talented and Driver will likely miss another game.

I agree with everything ER said. FYI, Feddie Jackson was CBS's start of the week. He's the only dog in Buffalo against a Cincy D that's allowed a rushing TD in each of their last 7 games.

[Dukefool]

Michael Vick, Aaron Rodgers, or Flacco?

Start Vick. He's too hot to bench right now.
