THE Start/Sit thread

The Trent Richardson trade killed me THIS week. great long term though.

 

QB: Vick

WR: Megatron and Cobb

TE: Julius Thomas

 

Flex: Gronk (if playing), Stevie Johnson if not.

 

I need to pick 2 running backs of these 5... Trent Richardson, Darren McFadden, Stevan Ridley, Willis McGahee, and Lamar Miller.

 

Do you want to take a chance on a Trent Richardson not acquainted to Pagano's system yet?  If not, go with McGahee and DMC.

They already have 20 pt on nfl.com Leagues!  If I didn't have SEA & DEN, I would've picked KC up.

[Gordo52]

I'm about to drop Jordan Cameron for either Antonio Gates or Greg Olsen. Which one though? I'm leaning Olsen.

Bennett is also available.

Miller and McFadden. Ridley if you like to gamble.

Why would you drop Cameron, he's on fire!  Also, how are Olsen, Gates and Bennett all on FA?

God, I feel sick. 31 pts for KC D and I gave them up for the Bills. :/

Someone in one of my leagues did that too.  KC has had the most underrated D for years.

[Sizzlebshu]

If you are so confident in Eli why are you asking? He has looked bad this season. Alec Smith has a lower ceiling but is safer against that awful D. Smith has also been getting rush yards which boosts his fantasy value.

Gresham will get more opportunity and GB has been poor against the pass. Dalton looks to Gresham a lot so I would stick with him.

I like bouncing ideas off people and testing their reasoning against mine. 

 

I went with Gresham and Eli and given last night, I'm fairly happy with those decisions.

Owen Daniels or Jordan Cameron? Thinking Daniels, as much as I hate rooting for someone against Baltimore.

[FastEddie]

Owen Daniels or Jordan Cameron? Thinking Daniels, as much as I hate rooting for someone against Baltimore.

I would say Owen Daniels, simply because the Browns dont have anything to play for now that their star player is gone. They have already looked on to next year. Hard to tell hoe the players will react to in game.

 

Who to start as my flex. Unfortunately all WR's (Locks- Green/D.Jackson):

Marlon Brown

Torrey Smith

Stevie Johnson

Tavon Austin

DeAndre Hopkins

Definitely don't start Stevie against NYJ's stout D.  Austin's a big "?".  Trying to predict who, if anyone, will have a big day for BAL is basically a coin toss.  By default, I advise you pick DeAndre, as BAL's D has been painfully underperforming so far.

I'd say Cameron.  The breakout TE will be newbie Hoyer's only reliable option.  Definitely start him if you're doing PPR.

Stevie Johnson or DeAndre Hopkins. Even when Revis was with the Jets, Stevie was getting 70 yards a game on average.

[Alexir]

Miller and McFadden. Ridley if you like to gamble.

 

Playing my studs. After thinking about it, it's too early in the season to know how good a run defense is and Miller and Ridley haven't done squat. Going to roll with McFadden and Richardson.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I benched MJD for Joique Bell in one of my leagues this week.  MJD is questionable and he will play the Seahawks while Bell at worst will be getting a 50-50 split with Reggie Bush and there is even talk that Bush might not even play this week.  The Redskins have given up the 5th most fantasy points to RBs this year which goes in Bell's favor and Bell has actually outscored MJD this season.

I would start Bell over MJD until MJD shows up.

Demarco Murray or Giovani Bernard?

Demarco Murray or Giovani Bernard?

 

Gio.

[Gordo52]

Gio.

My only concern is his workload tomorrow. How do you think BJGE & him split?

I think Murray's guaranteed 20+ touches, while Gio could only wind up with 10. I know with the way Dallas is I shouldn't feel so confident in that. STL is a tougher matchup but I feel Murray's due to score.

That's quite the gamble to use Richardson this week. He could be very limited. Actually Miller had a very nice game last week and has a great match up.

[Sizzlebshu]

Demarco Murray or Giovani Bernard?

Murray

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Michael Floyd or DeAndre Hopkins?

[Gordo52]

Murray

Reasons?? I'm so undecided.

Sound decision.

[flaccopoe]

Michael Floyd or DeAndre Hopkins?

 

Hopkins has much more potential.

[RavensPunkXVX]

Last minute debate;

Mike Wallace is Q, but will play. or Tavon Austin?

 

I feel like Wallace will have a better day against Atlanta secondary. 

 

???

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Hopkins has much more potential.

Why do you say that? Schaub over Palmer? The running game and line play? I just like Floyd against NO defense more than I like Hopkins vs us... Tough choice for me...

So far, Hopkins is winning.

[bauer77]

Need a TE since Jermichael Finley is on his bye week. My back up option is Heath Miller, who only has 3 catches for 35 yards and isn't playing many snaps since he pretty much tore every ligament in his knee last year. So should i roll with him this week against MIN or pick up one of the following? (12 team, PPR league)

 

Jermaine Gresham or Tyler Eifert vs CLE 

Jordan Reed vs OAK

Kellen Winslow vs TEN.

 

That's about it on the waiver wire. lol

[Alexir]

Won by a point. Thank god DMC threw for a TD and had a goal line TD.
