Based on the risk associated with even starting a healthy Cam Newton, I think you have to go with the "safe" bet in Palmer (I can't believe I actually typed that). But I've got Cam as well, and with his injury combined with him going up against a coach known for defense, Cam's proverbial "lack of weapons", I think I play it safe week 1. Palmer is going to be playing in what people feel could easily turn into a shootout.
Most from what I've read have SD def is ranked towards the back of the league while STL is in the middle. Guess I'll start Palmer as well.
yes....they were collectively bargained... yes....Josh Gordon failed a drug test... and yes.....you should read the news. Under the "new" drug testing policy, Josh Gordon and Wes Welker wouldn't have been suspended (higher THC threshold, and timing of failed test), so they are going to basically say "under these new rules, these guys would be playing, so if you don't let them play, we won't agree to new testing".
Standard league scoring. Flex position Reggie Wayne or Marqise Lee? i want to gamble and put in marqise lee.. but my gut says reggie wayne.
Well judging by how Gordon has acted lately I dont think he has to much faith in playing this year... if they reach a new deal why would that affect Welker and Gordon? I'm seriously curious, i mean they failed according to the rules and they got punished according to the rules... I mean if they let them play because of the new rules shouldn't they increase Ray Rice's suspension because of the new domestic violence rules?
So with Ellington's uncertainty, I need someone in my flex position. Mike Wallace, Mark Ingram or DeAngelo Williams?
That's tough. Normally, I would definitely say Cincy against a Ray Rice-less Ravens, but I wonder if Kubes could have surprises in store for Cincy. Washington's D is not great, but our offense... well, I'm pretty sure our offense sucks. Fitzy will probably throw an INT, but maybe Foster might be ready to surprise?? I think I'd give the slight edge to Cincy. MY TURN Standard league, I need to choose 2 of the following: Alfred Morris vs HOUSTON Pierre Garcon vs HOUSTON MJD vs NY JETS Steven Jackson vs NEW ORLEANS I know Morris should be an automatic start, but I feel like our run defense might bottle him up? I think I rather replace him with MJD as the Raiders will probably rely heavily on him to spare young Carr.
Personally I would't trust MJD until I saw a couple of games from him. Had Garcon last year and he is consistent at the WR spot.
