Who would you start?

Post by JETS SB » Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:46 pm

Obviously this is the playoffs so not expecting much help here but here is my dilemma. I need to start 2 of these 3 players at the RB and Flex position. Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, and Legarrette Blount. With the 49ers bad matchup, I am thinking that Blount is a definite as he is going to get a good amount of goal line carries against the Browns. Do I start Gore or Crabtree? OLC team, if that matters.

I would start Gore. You know he will get 20 touches and I can see him scoring too. Best of luck - Pete

I leave Blount on the bench. Is Blount likely to get goal line carries? Sure. Would it surprise me if Ridley or Bolden did? No. Not like Blount is going to catch a pass or anything either.

Blount will get 0 goal line carries because either:
(a) the Browns will trounce the Pats and I will be there for it! :D or
(b) Brady will hit Gronk for 4 TDs! 8-)

I don't trust Crabtree more than I don't trust Blount. So Gore and Blount for me.

2 for the masses.....

1) Riley Cooper or Roddy White?

2) Danny Woodhead, Stevie Johnson, or Greg Olsen?

Good luck to everyone today! :D

Those are really close. I go Cooper over White. While I have every reason to believe White is now healthy enough to succeed after last week's game, I think both of these guys have good upside so might as well go with the one who has been able to run normal routes all season. I'll be rooting for White because I have him on my teams but if I had Cooper, I'd start Cooper, and it's very close. Maybe check the weather too.

The second one is between Stevie and Woodhead and I go Stevie. He hasn't had too much of a problem with Revis in the past, and going against a less than 100% Revis should help. Also a tough one though!

Was this before the news that Ridley's playing? I don't trust Crabtree at all but I do know he'll be on the field and they'll throw it to him, which I can't say for Blount. Of course, even before the Ridley news I still couldn't say that for Blount.

I'm sitting Blount with those choices, least upside.

Cooper and Woodhead. Those are the two I think have a chance to potentially blow up.

I won't ask for any help on the teams I have fighting in NFFC championships, but I'm really having trouble with one team I have in the FFPC.

I have to sit two of McCoy, Leveon Bell, CJ2K, Stacy, Fitz, Victor Cruz, Jordy, & Josh Gordon.
Josh Gordon is the only one I haven't at least briefly considered sitting. Right now I've got Stacy & CJ2K on the bench, but I'd be curious if anyone has any other thoughts.

Thanks.
