Which 2 should I start - standard rules, non-PPR

Bernard Pierce @ HOU
T Richardson @ SF
TY Hilton @ SF

Thanks!

 

Chris Givens @ Dallas or Eric Decker @ Denver?

 

Pick 2...

Chris Johnson, Darren McFadden, DeMarco Murray.

 

In a ppr, Woodhead or Ben Tate? The Tate question always comes down to playing time, so it's always so tough. Hard to predict. Woodhead caught 8 balls last week, but it was against Philly and probably a lot of possessions.

 

Tough indeed, but I'd roll with Tate, who's leading the league with 8.2 yards/carry. Woodhead may catch 5-6 balls, but Tate's a threat to bust one on any given carry.

 

I know I'm about to be hard on you freak, but in all honesty Ben Tate's value(and the reason why he should be drafted) is as a handcuff to Arian Foster. So trying to make him more than that is why you are having difficulty. You basically know, if Arian Foster doesn't get hurt, Tate is going to have about 12-14 plays including passes.

Woodhead is in a new offense, and he had a good game last week, so now you are trying to put woodhead on Tate's level, which he might actually be, but the jury is still out because we just doesn't know what his role will be.

This decision has NOTHING to do with Ben Tate(even though you think it does). It's about how much risk you are willing to take on getting somebody you think will be BETTER than the handcuff option Tate provides.

I myself would play tate and be happy with it, but that doesn't mean that tate will provide more points than Woodhead. It just means that I know what I am getting with tate and I'm fine with it. I'm not asking tate to be more than he is, and I am not believing that the grass is greener with Woodhead.

 

Dilemma, should I start Reggie Bush or DeAngelo Williams?

 

Reggie Bush is a game-time decision, but his game is in the early games, so if he is active go with him.

 

Mendenhall is a play if he's not scratched tomorrow morning. The Saints defense is stingy, but they are vulnerable up the middle. Exactly where Mendenhall does his best work. Lamar Miller is the #2. Should get a short field TD at some point in this one. Rice is tough to sit if he plays, but I think they abandon the run early again.

Wilson is a sit until he gets a strong match up, or until the first time he lights up your bench. Wallace is your FLEX in a shootout. Need to confirm consistency for Austin. Last week was nice, but rookies can boom/bust in the worst way.

 

Chris Johnson, for sure. The other two...... Murray? Match ups are as tough as it get, but I'll give Murray the edge due to home field, and the fact that I suspect an early lead the Cowboys will want to protect.

 

Keep an eye on Wallace, who's questionable with a nagging groin injury.

 

Damn.. You got two of them playing SF.. I'd go with Richardson and Bernard Pierce.. Richardson might have something to prove after being traded..

 

Absolutely. To be honest, nearly ALL the players I mentioned in the last few comments are guys that need to be checked on, or have the normal starters checked on at 11:30am sharp tomorrow morning. Lots of potential late scratches already.

 

Pick one RB, PPR:

Wilson @ CAR
DeAngelo Williams vs NYG
Lamar Miller vs ATL


Pick one TE, PPR:

Gonzalez @ MIA
Bennett @ PIT

 

Flex:

Ben Tate @ BAL
Lance Moore vs ARI
Thompkins vs TB
Starks @Cin

other league at flex:
Bernard Pierce vs HOU
Eddie Royal @ TEN
Antonio Gates @ TEN
Starks @ CIN

Im leaning towards Tate, but without Duane Brown idk.
and im leaning towards Royal or Gates.

Thanks!

 

I'd go with Starks in L1, and Royal in L2.

Starks is coming off a monster week, and should get 15-20 carries this afternoon as the clear-cut starter in GB. Royal has 5 TDs through 2 games, so you have to ride the hot hand.

 

I'd start Miller and Gonzalez.

 

Ben Tate or Ryan Matthews?

 

What's up with Daryl Richardson this week? Playing hurt? What about David Wilson? Still sucks?

 

Well, I guess we got ****ed on Daryl Richardson
