The "Who should I start?" Thread

[Sea]

This week's questions....

Romo or Cutler

Braylon or Laurent Robinson (.75 ppr league)

 

[MJA1080]

Should I play Warner vs. Indy or Big Ben vs. Cincy? Also Josh Brown is my kicker and has gotten me 1 fantasy point. We only get 10 moves in our league before we pay. Should I get a new kicker?

 

[Prime 1978]

Who would you start....

Kevin Kolb or Shaun Hill (McNabb's injury is killing me)

Devery Hernderson- Mario Mannighham- Johnny Knoxx- Antoni Bryant (practiced today)

This week's questions....

Romo or Cutler

Braylon or Laurent Robinson (.75 ppr league)

Cutler

Braylon

I offered a guy:

Jonathan Stewart, Carolina RB and
Anthony Gonzalez, Indy WR

for

Steve Slaton, Houston RB

He offered back Slaton for J-Stew straight up. This seems like an obvious accept. Should I pull the trigger or do people think Slaton will continue to suck?

I'd go with Big Ben... I don't see them running on Cincy's D and Ben will toss it around a bit...

I wouldn't waste a move on a kicker this early...

I'd go with Slaton...

Consider this, Slaton has played against the Jets who look to be the new defensive bully on the block and they played the Titans who are always stout against the run. Don't give up a potential top 10 back for a time share...

Concur - I'd advise everyone to buy Slaton on the cheap if possible. He's in a perfect situation in Houston...
1) They have a potent passing game, defenses can only keep 7 in the box
2) Slaton catches the ball - see #1
3) Their defense isn't terrible, but it's bad enough that teams don't have much problem scoring on them. They have to put up points to match other teams' output and Slaton and Johnson are going to get most of those touches

That said, I already have him on my team and I'm trying to decide whether to take the chance on starting him this week. My options are:
Slaton v Jax
McFadden v Den
K. Smith v Was

Need to start one of those three at my RB2 slot. I've pretty much ruled out McFadden, but I'm in the air between the other two.

Thanks.

Cedric Benson vs Pit

or

Ted Ginn @ San Diego


Benson is the better fantasy player, but nobody runs on Pitt's D.

I just offered Berrian/J.Stewart for Slaton. The team who owns Slaton also has D.Williams.....so that may be in my favor.

I picked up Slaton on the waiver wire after week 1 and rode him and AP to the championship last year. I was a little shocked to see him do so poorly so far this year.....but as said above he has played against 2 good run defenses.

I dunno...I'd say that's a coin toss.....I might be more inclined to go with Ginn Jr after his nice game on Monday.

go with K. Smith. At this point, you don't know if/when Slaton is going to bust out. K. Smith will at least give you a solid 10 pts or so...at least he SHOULD.

This did not work out for me. It probably cost me the win this week.

I have 3 spots open Flex, WR, and WR.

I have Wayne, Cotchery, Steve Smith, and Hester

Wayne- Seahwaks
Cocthery-NO
Hester-DET
Smith-KC

Smith has been consistent all season so I have decided to lock him in for sure. I havent started Cotchery yet but last week he put up 16 points. Hester has been solid and S.Moss destroyed the Lions secondary last week putting up 23 fantasy points. Then Wayne who is considered a starter for sure but is only projected 8 points. Who the fuck should I start?
