The "Who should I start?" Thread

[Randolphkeys]

I used Josh Johnson when I was desperate on a bye week. He isn't great, but he seems like solid points for an emergency.

My big issue is Shady McCoy against the Raiders or Michel Bush against the Eagles. No offense to TAS, but I'm leaning towards the blowout by halftime choice... Shady.

Opinions?

Who should I start, Tom Brady vs Ten or Favre vs Baltimore. Also

I have one person I can choose for my RB / WR

-Lewis at Pittsburgh
-Leon Washington vs Buffalo
-Derrick Mason vs Minn
-Correll Buckholser vs San Diego

Thx, jon

Brady and Washington would be my vote, jonNOTfromVA. I love quality backup RBs against bad teams. Then again, I'm not having the best year so far.

Any thoughts on Shady vs. Bush?

Well, I picked up Jeremy Maclin for the Eagles. They are playing Oakland so I guess that's a no brainer.

No brainer? Far from the truth! Not sure who will be matched up against Maclin but Oaklands pass defense is pretty stout. If Asomugha lined up across from Jeremy don't expect more than 3 catches for 25 yards. He shuts down nearly every WR including 5 star WRs.

I would go with Smith this week even after Bradshaw's great performance. Calvin Johnson is more than likely out for the game, so expect the Lions to rely heavily on Kevin running the ball.

Ok well another week for me. I sat Benson lats week versus Baltimore and lost by 2 points ughh.

Just wanted to say i started Heath Miller after just signing him and i am loving it as he kills us.

Why did I start Hasselbeck in favor of Matt Ryan???? Whopping .92 pts.

Don't worry, I took Hass over Shaub... :thumbdown

Don't worry... I chose McNabb over Favre (12 point difference), Forte over Cadillac Williams (10 point difference), and TJ Housh over Lee Evans (11 point difference).

Those 3 players ended up combining for 13 total points and I ended up blowing a lead bigger than 20 points to lose by 5. This year for me in fantasy seriously sucks.

Maroney vs. TB

SJax vs. Indy

Marshawn Lynch vs. Carolina

I need to pick two and I'm not sure. Maroney has only had one good game, but he's playing TB and it seems logical to play him.

 

[Randolphkeys]

I would go with SJax.

Brady is going to spread the ball around now that he is on his 3rd string running back and Wes Welker is finally healthy. Jackson won't put many balls in the end zone, but he is consistent yardage and reception points.

I need another too. Either Maroney or Lynch
