Fantasy Football: Start 'Em/Sit 'Em Thread

Thread for those looking for other opinions and advice on who a good option is for fantasy football on a week by week basis.

Help each other out and give your take on which players have an advantage starting with Week 2.

Good Luck in your season!! Go JETS!!

Just checked my league's Free Agent QB and Matthew Stafford was still available, now I got Tier 1 back-up for Brady!

If anyone has Dumervil on defense should sit him. He saw limited time duing the Raiders game.

Roddy White vs Nnamdi or Asante...No_Hablo_Ingles

Tony Romo or Jay Cutler?
^^Trying to help friend out. Even after Romo fell apart, I think I'd still take him over Cutler.

Also Steelers or Eagles D/ST? Friend got -3 points for Steelers but I'm trying to help convince him they'll rebound this week.

Definitley start the Steeler DST they are playing the Seahawks who is led by Tavaris Jackson(:o) and Marshawn Lynch. Sydney Rice is probably out too.

Eagles goin against Atlanta not too good because Eagles couldnt stop the run against steven jackson. Michael Turner might light them up if they dont fix the issue.

And go with Romo he has way more weapons (Austin, Witten, Bryant) Felix Jones is'nt an every down bak as much as Cowboys want it that way, so they will throw the ball alot.

Dez Bryant is ok now right?

Roddy White vs Nnamdi or Asante...No_Hablo_Ingles

Roddy White is a elite fantasy reciever until he proves otherwise. I would start him even if he was against Revis Island.... unless I had other options.

This thread is a great idea! :D I'm looking to pick up Nick Folk for Kaeding and Vinatieri.The-Apostle

[QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"]Roddy White vs Nnamdi or Asante...monkeytoes61

Yea, good point. Roddy White is gonna be Ryans go to guy but he also has new competition with Julio Jones and the fading Tony Gonzalez.

[QUOTE="monkeytoes61"][QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"]Roddy White vs Nnamdi or Asante...No_Hablo_Ingles

Who do you have in your bench?

Check out free agency, Jordy Nelson would be a good pick-up. Driver is fading its gonna be Jennings, Nelson, and Finley running the offense.

Or even Nate Burleson, but I still dont see starting either atop of Roddy White personally.

Yeah, I'm using Nelson and Rodgers in two leagues, Jennings and Starks in one, and Finley and the Packers D in all three. Driver's headed to the hall of fame and I love him, but God bless him, he sucks now. He really should think about retiring.

I really having trouble on commiting on who to start as my flex option. The ones in bold is my starters, any opinions on who all to start as my final lineup?

RB

• Maurice Jones-Drew
• Rashard Mendenhall
• Jahvid Best
• Shonne Greene
• Tim Hightower

WR

• Mike Wallace
• Mike Williams (TB)
• Kenny Britt
• Anquan Boldin
• Plaxico Burress

Yeaa.... I'd be less worried about Roddy White and more worried about Lee Evans. I dont see Flacco as a Gunslinger.

I think they will just threaten with Lee to take the top off defenses to get the slots and mid range passing game goin and don't forget about the run game.

Go with Hightower. I'm predicting big things out of him this season. That and he ran for 75 yards and a TD and caught for 25 this weekend, though TBH it was the Giants depleted defense... >_>

Do you guys think I should play DeAngelo Williams against the Packers rushing defense? I mean he's usually pretty good but he had an off-day this weekend, though I think that had more to do with Newton being so freakishly pass happy. If you guys don't think that's a good matchup, I'm also hoping to drop Daniel Thomas for Darren Sproles, whom I'm surprised no one picked up...The-Apostle

Thats a real tough call, but i would go with it. Packers defense are gonna put the fear of god in Cam Newton and I think they will rely on Williams to carry alot.

Just my opinion, im starting him in one of my teams. Also, I dont have another decent RB to fall back on, so.....yea...:?

More touches=More yds....hopefully

I was honestly considering the final spot between Boldin and Britt.

Britt is the big play weapon that had a monster opener and a breakout season last year.

And Boldin almost caught 2 TD's against the steelers but he was called on Off. Pass. Int.

My theory was that with Mason and Heap gone Boldin is the only real stable option for Flacco

Ugh... I got a decision to make in my other league. I want Sproles in that one too. However, I'm stacked in the running back position. I have Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy as starters, James Starks as W/R/T, and BenJarvis Green-Ellis on the bench. I was going to drop Santana Moss for him, but the game he had has me thinking about Pierre Garcon instead. I think he might be useless without Manning. That's the same league I'm dropping Vinatieri for Nick Folk in.

I win the award for a stacked backfield. Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Frank Gore and Jahvid Best. No trades. And I still have Roddy White and DeSean Jackson.

Speaking of Chris Johnson, how terrible was he on Week 1.

I knew he wasn't going to put squat up after just returning to camp days beffore the game.

Picked up Ben Tate with hopes of Foster being out for another week, but it seems that Foster is ready to go on Sunday.

Pick-up Cadillac Williams if anyone needs a No.2 RB, with Steven Jackson out he is gonna be the guy in St. Loius.

I am really considering starting Kellen Winslow over Dallas Clark. It's not the same when you dont have Manning throwing to you.

No_Hablo_Ingles

Yeah, the reason I drafted Garcon in the first place was because he kept pissing me off by getting looks over Wayne. However, Manning being gone for God knows how long rendered Garcon moot.

Who would you start this week?

Matthew Stafford Vs. KC Chiefs (...that made Fitzpatrick look like Tom Brady)

Or

Philip Rivers Vs. NE Patriots (....that made Chad Henne look like....Tom Brady?)

No_Hablo_Ingles

I watched the Patriots game but didn't watch the Chiefs game. I did see the highlights that just wouldn't stop against the Chiefs.

And yea, I forgot ofabout Eric Berry their best safety. I already see Stafford as an elite QB he just needs to stay healthy so he can prove it to the masses.

The-Apostle

Williams handles the bulk of the carries and Stewart chimes in from time to time.

The Packers D was ranked 2nd highest in sacks. The Panthers Offensive line is pretty solid so it could be a big day for Williams.

Okay. So out of that, I have Hightower starting. Who should be number two: Williams or Sproles? Out of those two, who would you put as W/R/T: Either one or Plaxico? If it helps, I have Nelson, Wayne and Finley also starting. with Keller on the bench. Also, if Sidney Rice comes back that might further complicate it.

EDIT: Keep in mind, I lost in this week by a blow out, though in truth, it wasn't really a blowout until MNF.
