The "Who should I start?" Thread

[jonmchugh]

Maroney or "Beanie" Wells?? I'm leading towards Wells because the back from NE is going to be back tonight so Maroney will have to split time.

Beanie all the way.

Mike Sims-Walker or Chad Johnson. I know Chad is playing the Browns but his last 3 games he has point totals of like 8,3, and 8. Walker has last 3 of 27, 12, 21. Walker is playing 49ers.

Dude you gotta go with Ochocinco. For some reason, he always plays us hard and has a big game against us.

"In 16 games against the Browns, Ochocinco has 11 TDs -- his most against any opponent.

He also has 79 catches for 1,095 yards (13.9) against Cleveland, averaging 4.9 catches and 68.4 yards per game. " (source plain dealer)

He also had 2 TDs against us the last game so I would go with Chad every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I had him starting I just needed some assurance, and you delivered haha. He always kills us so I gotta start him.

Yeah thanks, what about Shiancoe vs Chi or Dallas Clark vs Houston? I have Shiancoe right now. The only problem I have in starting Clark is that my opponet has Manning. So everytime I would score, he would score etc. So should I go with Shiancoe? Farve always find him in the redzone.

This works to your benefit, no? Assuming your league is like mine, you get 1 pt for every 10 yards receiving and your opponent only gets a point for every 25 yards passing.

25 yards to Dallas Clark= 2.5 for you and 1 for Peyton. You can also neutralize any TD's Peyton throws to your guy.

That's why I always see it as an advantage to start a QB's top receiver against an opponent.

thanks for the tip, I'm going to start Clark now.

Injuries have killed my team... who should I start in the "slash" position this week?

Davone Bess vs Jaguars

Ryan Moats vs Seahawks

Kevin Walter vs Seahawks

Kenny Britt vs Rams

I was leaning towards Walter, but it is just a toss up any way you look at it.

Well Slaton is out for the season, so Moats may see more carries. That's one thing to consider.

If you are in a point for reception lead I would go with Brit to be honest with you. The rams pass defense is horrid and Brit has become Youngs favorite receiver. I also saw on espn that Young should play this weekend. If not in a point per reception league, I would have to go with Ryan Moats. Like the previous guy said, Slaton is out for the season so Moats will be the feature back and get the majority of the teams carries.


Now for me, I need to pick up a defense. I have the Chargers right now but they are playing the Cowboys this week not so sure about that one. Here are the teams that are still available. I was leading towards Tampa Bay. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm the #2 seed in my league and I'm going with the Titans in week 14, and the Cardinals in week 15 and 16 (they play DET and STL).

 

[jonmchugh]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm already guarenteed a roster spot. I need a win this week and I think I get 1st place in my league. I'll go with the Titans. Thanks!

 

[TAS]

Cutler Vs. Green Bay
Palmer Vs. Minnesota
Hasselbeck Vs. Houston

 

[di0p]

Donald Driver (vs. Chi) or Miles Austin (vs. SD)

Cutler Vs. Green Bay
Palmer Vs. Minnesota
Hasselbeck Vs. Houston

Stay away from Cutler, Green Bay is the #1 Defense in the league. It's tough but I would go Palmer I think, the Bengals might be throwing alot if they can't get the run going against that Vikings run D.
