Week 1 Start/Sit?

Post by Sandman62 » Fri Sep 06, 2013 5:18 pm

Non-NFFC league, .5 PPR. Need an RB2, 2 WRs and a flex. Thanks.

RBs: Bradshaw, Bernard, BTate
I have Bradshaw out as of now due to lack of playing this summer and Tate's potential if Foster isn't 100% and they get ahead. Bernard could be on the field catching passes once CIN falls behind CHI.

WRs: DeSean, Jordy, James Jones, Wallace
Wallace faces Haden so he's the easy sit. DeSean's the easy start, given PHI's lack of receivers. Jordy seems more likely for catches/yards, Jones for TDs. Neither very attractive @SF.

I'd sit a not completely fir Jordy before Wallace.

I know he's up against Haden but he's not just going to be running deep routes for us they will force him the ball.

I'd go Tate/DJax/James Jones/Wallce

Ballard is the starter this week so Tate or Bernard. Tate should play plenty but Bernard could catch 5 or 6 balls.
Tate with more upside and better matchup.

Those WRs look like a toss up. I don't like Wallace much this year. Jackson could be nice. I think the answer is Jordy or Jones. I kinda like their QB. Hes pretty good I hear. Jones should score a TD and catch 5 balls.

Joe flacco with his 26.1 or aaron rodgers against san fran
and a 3rd rec. emmanual sanders/greg jennings/burleson or d moore

I like Jordy over Wallace

I also like Jordy over Wallace.

I would take Flacco's points and sit Rodgers this week.

Flex option: A. Bradshaw, P. Thomas, or D. Hopkins?
Go Big Red!

NEVER SIT AARON RODGERS!!!! Why did you draft Rodgers if you are going to bench him. The Pack wont run against SF so Rodgers will pass pass pass. Cobb, Nelson, or Jones should be able to get open. Rodgers is mobile and can avoid the pass rush. 300 yards and 3 Tds look like a safe bet with the upside. Could be a shootout.

didnt want to take a qb early but he fell to me in the third round ,could not pass at that point
I have him in my lineup as of now but dont really expect more than 30 points out of him.
I have welker on the same team and with all the other points out there after that game ,it would be nice to start with
53.8 points with 2 players going but I do agree with you that 26.1 is rodgers floor not his ceiling , but with all play the first 2 weeks looking to just get a win
After all that I think I (you)talked myself into rodgers

Thanks for the Jordy/Wallace input.

Rodgers two games vs. SF last year: Home: 303/2/1 (26.15 NFFC pts), Away: 257/2/1 (23.85).
However, in a whopping 9 games he scored less than Flacco's 26.1 (and 8 of them were 22 or less even :o) If you had to make this decision without having Flacco's results already, I'd definitely say Rodgers. But this may be a good "bird in hand".

For your WR3, even though MIN is supposedly going to line Jennings up all over the field, I'd roll with Sanders; just a much better QB.

+1. Just need to decide between Jordy and James. Where's my coin? :P Thanks for the input.
