Who To Start

[Gordo52]

In my leauge QBs score more. Then RBs, then WRs.
At QB I got Vick[@STL] Flacco[vs PITT] & Cassel[vs BUFF]
At RB I got Johnson[@JAC] Bradshaw[@WAS] Turner[@CHI] & Hightower[vs NYG]
At WR I got Wayne[@HOU] Jackson[@STL] Bryant[@NYJ] Williams(TB)[vs DET] Lloyd[vs OAK] Evans[vs PITT]
Starting Dallas Clark at TE
& Eagles D @ Rams.
Im starting Vick Flacco Johnson Bradshaw Jackson Wayne as of now. I might change Wayne for Williams and/or Bradshaw for Turner. Thoughts?

[ZIBBY28]

I'd go with Williams and Turner... No Manning, improved Texans secondary and although Turner is up against a much better defense, he has more guaranteed touches and is the unquestioned back at the goal line, unlike Bradshaw.

Orton, Collins, or Bradford?

[SydneyRaven]

I'd put Brandon Lloyd in. That Raiders secondary without Nnamdi is going to SUCK.

Should I start Ray Rice against the Steelers on Sunday?

I'm watching NFL Fantasy Live on NFLN and they are saying to bench Ray Rice because he only scored 3 Fantasy Points against the Steelers, which is funny because apparently they don't know about us having Vonta Leach.

Also, Should I start the Saints Defense against the Pack? I have them in multiple leagues, and I'm leaning toward Cleveland's Defense against the Bengals, or Texans Defense over Colts to start over the Saints Defense.

Wow! no faith lol. Im starting Ray Rice in the only league I have him in. Hes gonna get touches and probably a TD. He's gonna be a solid play for sure.

Last year in the first game against the sqeelers: 8 carries, 20 yards. no TDs
2nd Game: 9 carries, 32 yards no TDs
3rd Game: 12 carries, 32 yards, 1 TD but also had a fumble (most leagues that loses points)


Now you could say we had a crappy offensive line, but we dont know how Mckinnie is gonna do, or if Birk is even gonna be alright on that knee. I love my ravens, dont get me wrong. Just stating facts.

Is it a PPR league or a TD heavy league? Turner will get more carries than receptions, and Bradshaw could be more balanced than that. Also in the offseason there were alot of talks about Turner's health and playing all 16 games, so id stick with Bradshaw. Williams has a rep with Freeman, Collins may not throw as often as the Colts are used to so id start Williams over Wayne..just IMO

Nah its not a PPR league, and I just feel the giants are gonna go off on redskins on 911, plus its the redskins. I already subbed Williams in for Wayne. I decided not to try to traade him incase Peyton does come back because of how easy his playoff schedule is. Also I figured Wayne and Clark really are the only good WRs on the colts. And they should be losing alot and always throwing to them. Peyton made Collie and Garcon into who they are.

Anyone have advice on starting Ray Rice vs. Fred Jackson(BUF) and Lee Evans vs. Jacoby Ford(OAK)?

If it is a ppr, no doubt stay with Ray Rice. If not, I'd still go with Ray Rice. You bench him, he might make you pay. Fred will have solid numbers. So if you want to play it safe, Jackson is the pick. But I would go with Rice.

I'd probably go with Lee Evans before Jacoby Ford. Raiders are going to run the ball first. Ravens need to pass to win.

I was right about Rice. Wrong about Evans. I'm sure a ton of people benched Rice. But like always, never bench your studs. Because when you do, they will make you pay. Rice is case in point.

I wasn't expecting much out of him to be honestly. CJ only took his first snap of the season on Sunday. Plus he was without his very good blocking FB. That was one of those situations where the stud was tainted.

But it was probably the right call. The matchup was good. And unless you were stacked at RB its kinda hard to justify benching CJ to start the season.

lol, i just posted asking if I should bench him this week, w/ a less then appealing match up, predicted roughly 20 carries, I have Best Blount Hillis and Wells as my other RB's, I'm starting Hillis, still unsure of benching cj2k

[FlaccoFlicker]

hey guys NFLN just said it's a longshot Dez Bryant goes today.So you might wanna think if you want him in your starting rotation.Late game so its a risk if you wanna wait and see if your other receivers have early games

[FlaccoFlicker]

and since bryant is out I have to decide to I start
Julio Jones vs the Eagles
Malcolm Floyd vs the Pats
E.Sanders vs the seahawks

That's a tough one. If it isn't a ppr league I'd go with Floyd and cross your fingers that he plays a part in the shootout. PPR league I might lean to Julio.

I'd go with Floyd or Sanders, I'd imagine pitt will run alot... against a lowly seattle team, julio isn't going against any slouch @ corner either, Malcolm Floyd will be in a NE SD game that will more then likely be a shootout with brandon marshall exposing New Englands corners last week, Floyd will probably be your safest bet in this game
