THE Start/Sit thread

[flaccopoe]

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

 

I'm taking a gamble on Reed.  He should perform decently against OAK.  Decker got his mojo back playing them (19.2 pt).

[5aiah]

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

Same. Him and DMT saved me.

The only thing that worries me about him, is he has a quad contusion and could be limited.

[flaccopoe]

Marlon Brown, Pead or Le'Veon Bell?

[Gordo52]

Chiefs D vs Giants a good pickup?

I feel like it's risky because the Giants are gonna break out soon

Is the number 1 Defense after 3 weeks a good pick up against the Giants, who turn the ball over on lesser defenses? Is that your question? Yes pick them up. Im debating dropping the Ravens Defense to pick up that crew.

[Alexir]

Marlon Brown, Pead or Le'Veon Bell?

 

Ew. I guess Brown...

[flaccopoe]

Ew. I guess Brown...

 

I just got Snelling off W, so I'm going to start Snellingsalts at RB2 and Brown at Flex.

Give Pead a few weeks first. I think he can over take Richardson.

[Elmo]

Luck @Jax

or

Ryan vs. NE

I feel the same. Defenses are volatile.

[flaccopoe]

I'm not dropping him, lol.  I think STL's run game will have a bad night, what with the shortened schedule and the probability that STL will fall significantly behind the thirsty 49ers.  Bradford will probably throw a pick and then try to compensate by airing it out the whole game.

Luck @Jax

or

Ryan vs. NE

 

Key word: JAC.  Anyone facing them gets the Midas Touch.

[flaccopoe]

I feel the same. Defenses are volatile.

 

KC is a Top 5 D.  They'll be sure to get some TOs off of NYG.

[RavensPunkXVX]

TE Position;

Brandon Meyers @ KC or Dallas Clark @ BUF

 

Flex Position;

Joique Bell vs. CHI

Ryan Matthews vs. DAL

Mike Wallace @ NO

Tavon Austin vs. SF

Marlon Brown @ BUF

 

I'm not a fan of having Marlon and Dallas Clark starting. 

[gabefergy]

Doesn't change my point that Defenses are volatile. They could easily score 4 points as 12 points.

[flaccopoe]

IND @ JAC

DEN vs. PHI

AZ @ TB

 

So many choices...

[RayRicefan2720]

Who do you think will have the crappier offense this week, Cleveland or Pittsburg? I have both Cinci's D and Minnisota's D

[Sizzlebshu]

Frank Gore - Over/Under 13 points?

[Sizzlebshu]

Ryan vs. NE

Matt Ryan. Falcons will have to throw. 

 

TE Position;

Brandon Meyers @ KC or Dallas Clark @ BUF

Joique Bell vs. CHI

Mike Wallace @ NO

Tavon Austin vs. SF

Brandon Myers

 

I would flex Tavon Austin

 

IND @ JAC

DEN vs. PHI

AZ @ TB

Play Arizona. Always exploit the rookie

Start Cincy's D. For everything Min will get you, they will give up in scores. 

 

 

My Question for you all

 

Frank Gore - Over/Under 13 points ie 70 yards and a td

[Yum Chickens]

Two issues:

 

TE

Kyle Rudolph or Owen Daniels? 

 

and

 

Flex 

TY Hilton or DeAndre Hopkins or Bilial Powell or Roddy White?

Play Cinci, I don't trust the Steelers offense sucking 4 straight games 

[bauer77]

for my flex: 

Josh Gordon vs CIN   or

DeMarco Murray vs SD

 

And pick 2:

Chris Givens vs SF

Michael Floyd vs TB

Santonio Holmes vs TEN

[Jalxsu]

OK guys, D/ST.

 

I pick a new one off the waiver wire each week, and this week I'm spoiled for choice!

 

Indianapolis Colts (@Jax)

 

They have looked pretty damn good so far this year. They kept the 49ers to just 7 points, and that was at Candlestick. 

 

The 49ers may not be as good as everyone seemed to think, but that's still a pretty impressive showing by Indy.

 

And now this week, they play the Jaguars... with Blaine Gabbert... who has a hurt hand...

 

Arizona Cardinals (@Tampa)

 

They haven't impressed as much as I'd have liked, but I still believe the Cards are a top 10 D.

 

This week, they play against the Bucs, who just can't seem to get their offense going, and this week, Glennon is starting.

 

He didn't impress me much in college. He is one of the least athletic QBs I've seen drafted in recent years.

 

Do you remember when the Jets started Greg McIlroy against the Chargers last year? The kid got sacked 11 times. I won't be shocked if Glennon suffers the same fate. I can also see him trying a bit too hard and throwing a few interceptions - and that'll happen to a lot of teams when they go up against the likes of Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu.

 

Kansas City Chiefs (vs Giants) @ Kansas

 

I've picked the Chiefs once this year, and they were fantastic. Currently the top scoring defense in fantasy this year.

 

The Giants offense was just pathetic against Carolina. Eli went down like a [profanity deleted] against the Panthers pass rush. He's also already thrown 8 interceptions - last year, Brady, Roethlisberger and Rodgers all threw just 8 picks, and RG3 only threw 5.

 

This really should be the obvious choice, but I'm still just not sure. I just don't think Tom Coughlin will allow his team to put in such a inept performance again this week. The Giants have too much talent on their team to be this bad every week. 

 

Many said the same of KC last year, but I think pretty much everyone would agree that Eli > Cassell.

 

 

There's other options I could go for, such as the Titans vastly improved D against the slightly better than expected Jets offense - although that's not saying too much.

 

Or I could even go with the Steelers playing the Vikings just down the road from me in London. The Steelers have been a bit of a joke this year, but if the rumours are true and the Vikings are starting Matt Cassell, I could be tempted.

 

I've got 2 fantasy teams, one has the Chiefs D and one the Colts.

 

What's your opinion?

[PuRock]

Kansas City Chiefs (vs Giants) @ Kansas

 

What's your opinion?

 

To me this one is the best.  The Giants offensive line was horrible last week.  It has issues, guys injured, etc.  The Chiefs lead the league in Sacks.  Plus its Arrowhead.  Very tough place to play.  I expect multiple turnovers.  

[codizzle]

Yup

[Jalxsu]

I think I agree with you.

 

I may be being swayed a bit by reputation.

 

Just finding it hard to think of the Giants as being one of the worst teams in the NFL.

 

I've only been watching the NFL seriously for about 6 years, and the Giants have always been a challenger.

 

I'll keep them in one team for sure anyway. If they perform as they should, they'll put up some points.

 

Also, if I don't pick them up, I'm sure there's a few other guys in my league who could snap them up... especially since they are playing the Raiders in a couple weeks.

I'm starting IND and DEN over AZ.  TB might just run the whole game if they don't trust Glennon.

[D-Rey]

So Randell Cobb having a bye week this week really hurts me. I don't trust any of my WRs lol. But

 

For QB

 

Flacco vs. Bills

or

Wison vs. Texans

 

Texans I know don't give up many fantasy points and the Bills do. Still debating on this one.

 

For WR

 

Vincent Jackson vs. Cardinals

Marion Brown vs. Bills

Greg Jennings vs.Steelers

or

Andre Johnson vs, Seattle

 

I'm kind of leaning towards Jackson and Brown.

 

Fortunately my RB situation is better with Charles Morris as 1 and 2, and Daniel Thomas as my flex. But not sure about my wr and qb.
