THE Start/Sit thread

Pick 1 of 2 combinations. Which scores more this week?

Jordan Cameron + Willis McGahee both at home vs Buffalo

Or

Jordan Cook (vs Jax) + Giovani Bernard (at home vs NE)

Cook & Gio.

I have the same combo but instead of Gio I'm playing Murray this week. Think it's a good choice?

Cook & Gio.

Here are my thoughts.  It's close.  The Bengals probably won't be playing with a lead, and Wilfork is out, so Gio might get a lot of work and can do some damage.  

 

Murray on the other hand is going up against Denver.  I suspect Dallas will fall behind and ditch the run like they normally do.  But then again, Murray does get a lot of dump off passes and the best way to keep Peyton off the field is to run.  

 

With all that being said, I'd still go with Murray.

Spiller has done me wrong this year. Play him tonight? Sadly I have to in one league.

I wouldn't. The Browns defense is strong plus Spiller will split carries evenly with Jackson due to his sprained ankle.

I picked up Josh Gordon on the waiver today, but I just missed the deadline to put him in. Hopefully Larry Fitz won't get shut down too hard this week.

It's so tough for me. Also so far this year Denver has allowed the most rushing TD's. Gio looks like a sexier play but I still don't fully trust him yet ,despite seeing the field a lot more last week. I have a gut feeling BJGE will have a good game against his former team and Belicheck is pretty good against backs like Gio IIRC.

I can see Demarco for sure having more touches, but will he be more efficient than Gio?

[NaveSenrag]

Should I play Stafford (playing GB) or Vick (playing the Giants)?

[Alexir]

Should I play Stafford (playing GB) or Vick (playing the Giants)?

 

Either is fine. Should be around the same.

[Alexir]

Zac Stacy to get the start for St. Louis. It's a committee though but if you have a bench spot, i'd take him. If you have an iffy flex,  i'd start him.

[TZMou]

Is Deonte Thompson worth a start? With Jones and Brown out, and in a league that gives points for receptions and return yards?

 

I should add my other options are Chris Givens or Cecil Shorts and unsurprisingly I'm 0-4.

I would go with Cecil Shorts.

[TZMou]

I would go with Cecil Shorts.

 

Yeah I was debating I've been stung in the past with Shorts having deceptively good weeks on my bench plus Blackmon is back which even though it'll take targets away from him should open up the Jags passing game, But I have a good feeling about Thompson if he plays, I think I have purple tinted glasses firmly on haha.

[PuRock]

Vick.  Stafford is not a very good QB without Calvin.  Vick will pick up those rushing yards.

He is, since we are fielding no one else.  But I'd still rather go Shorts > Givens > Deonte.  He needs to prove it firt.

Thats me and I'm giving Stacy a shot this week.

This has been bugging me for about a week now.

Do I start Demaryius Thomas vs the Jags next week?

It looks like a no brainer but Denver will be up by so much they'll probably pull their starters in the 3rd quarter or just have no need to pass it. I feel like I'd only get 2 quarters from him.

My other options are Josh Gordon & TY Hilton. Hilton is locked in already and Gordon is coming off a long week against the lions in which I think he'll have success.

Im having trouble with this as well. I am thinking of starting Gronk at TE and Julius Thomas at Flex. However. I think they will get out early and bench starters vs Jags. Im thinking about starting Cecil Shorts instead because at least he will get the targets when losing that bad.

Start him.  This is a team that likes to get its points, and put on a show (and maybe break some records).  

 

I would say because DT had a 'slow' week this week, Peyton will look to get him his touchdowns next week vs. the Jags.  

[PuRock]

Tonight's game.  

 

Roddy White (who suffered a setback) or Jeremy Kerley or Harry Douglas.  

 

It's gonna be close with my opponent having Julio Jones down by 19.  So every point could matter.  Non-ppr.  Do I roll with the gimpy Roddy White and hope the 'setback' is gamesmanship?

It's such a scary situation lol

Tough one. I'd still stick with White though.

I just dont know if I can trust White. Maybe the decision will be made for you an hour before kick off. I like Kerley and Douglas the same.

[Gordo52]

Toughest week of decisions I've ever faced. Can't go wrong with any really and I've never played anyone vs the Ravens before. I'm torn.

[Sizzlebshu]

Houston DEF vs Rams

Bengals Def @ Buffalo

Bears Def vs NYG

 

Which one do I start this week? 

 

*For those that don't realize, vs implies the that the DEF is playing at home.

Bengals, they face Thaddeus Lewis who was a PS QB last week.

Thats the matchup I was targeting too, but the Bills run the ball a lot, and Thad Lewis didn't do too bad against Pitt last year. I still think its a good matchup tho

Yeah I would go with Cincy too

[TZMou]

Following some good advice last week, I'll ask again this week, I'm basically having a RB crisis at the moment and need to start either Jacobs or Scott for tonights game. Who do I go for?

Ugh. Gross.

 

I am leaning towards Scott (I think he is better than Jacobs) but I see Jacobs getting goalline work. What are your other options.

Not a lot really, its a deep league so there is barely anything on waivers, I picked up Hillman who was the best available. But it's looking likely that with injuries/byes I'll have to start Hillman, A Giants RB and L. Bell.

 

Plus and I know it messes my team right up but I like to have someone playing on TNF as an incentive to stay up to watch it.

 

Yeah I think I'll go with Scott in the hope he features in the passing game a bit (its a PPR league). TBF my team is trash anyway so I can't lose anything (except pride, lots and lots of pride).

[crusader178]

Start Brees vs NE or Rivers vs Indy
