[Official 2013 NFL Season] Fantasy Football Lineup Advice Thread

Should i Start
Juilian Edelman Vs NYJ
Or
Steve Smith Vs Buf

 

I don't think you can go wrong either way, but I'd go Edelman. Tom Brady > Cam Newton and Edelman will slide right into Amendola's role since he's injured. Also, Edelman played somewhere like 85% of the snaps during Week 1. He'll only play more now.

A case for Steve Smith certainly could be made, but I think Edelman is the safer play.

 

Extremely thin at RB (only have Foster, Gio Bernard, Tate). Could use a backup D (only have Seattle). Also, only have Jimmy Graham at TE.

Need a little help on waiver wire pickups, please (standard league).

Bench players (I'm considering dropping):

Bernard Pierce (Bal), Brandon Pettigrew (Det), Roy Helu (Was)​

Available on waivers (as of this morning):

RB: V. Ballard (Ind), R. Hillman (Den), M. Reece (Oak), Redman (Pitt)
WR: J. Gordon (Cle), K. Britt (Ten), M. Floyd (Ari), S. Rice (Sea), Heyward-Bey (Ind), R. Randle (NYG), E. Royal (SD), J. Kearse (Sea)
DEF: Carolina, Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh,
TE: Brent Celek (Phi), Dallas Clark (Bal), Zach Sudfeld (NE)​

Thanks, fellas.

 

You should not worry about a backup D or TE until the bye week. I would drop Helu for Ballard, although Redman is close. If you don't need a WR now I'd recommend Gordon. If you need a WR this week it'd have to be Britt or Randle. I'd go with Ballard.

 

I second Edelman. Smith was inconsistent last year and he seems to be their 2nd option over the past 5 or 6 games next to Olsen.

 

Thanks, appreciate it.

 

Thanks bro... it's a standard scoring league.. I'll stick with Colston.. at the least, I'm expecting just 1 TD from him.

 

which is the better streaming defense option this week?

Oakland (vs Jac)
Dallas (vs KC)
Carolina (vs Buf)
Denver (vs NYG)

 

Carrying 2 defenses this early in the year is a mistake. Second half of the season, when we've had plenty of time to evalute skill positions & your core is solidified, then a second D is more reasonable.

I'd drop Pettigrew for Clark. 12 targets last week, and while that is likely to drop, 8 is a realistic projection. I'd try to catch that lightning in a bottle.

 

Also, Richie_Rich, I'd drop one of those two handcuffs RB's for either Josh Gordon or Michael Floyd. I lean towards Gordon, but Floyd is clearly a factor in Arians pass heavy offense. Can't go wrong there.

 

Thank you J-sizzle and Ziggy. I have Fitz and Vincent jackson so i knew i had to leave out steve smith

 

OK, my waiver priority is pretty low so Clark's looking doubtful. We'll see what happens. Dropped Helu and nabbed Josh Gordon; and I'll wait on picking up a backup D.

Thanks, man.

 

No problem! Hope it works out for both our sakes.

 

With Danny out i have to start 2

Antonio Brown
Boldin
Alshon Jeffrey
Kenny Britt

 

Should I cut either Bryce Brown, Green-Ellis, or Percy Harvin for Greg Jennings?

 

Some defensive assistance (boring I know) if possible:

D'Qwell Jackson @ Baltimore

or

Lavonte David vs New Orleans



and for the team defense slot:

Cleveland @ Baltimore

or

Dallas @ Kansas City

I know these points will be nitpicky but I'm a little in the air about all four choices.

 

I'd go with the Cleveland affiliated guy/team on both.

 

Should I start (flex):
K. Moreno DEN-RB vs NYG
or Andrea Roberts ARI-WR vs LIONS
or S. Rice SEA-WR vs SF
or D. Hopkins HOU-WR vs TEN

Thanks

 

I would go with Roberts. It's going to be a shootout.

 

Yep I hope so, thanks Hoodooslab
