Marshall and Royal --- Start both, or just 1?

[ckl81]

So unfortunately I have both Marshall and Royal, and am trying to figure out my starting lineup.

Edwards @ MIN
Marshall @ CIN
Royal @ CIN
Driver @ CHI
Nicks @ WAS

Who should I start? I'm thinking that I should only start 1 Bronco in case Orton craps the bed. Which one should it be?
Any thoughts? Thanks, WHIR!

I'd feel VERY good with driver playing so I'd start only 1 for that reason alone. I'd roll with Royal, Edwards, Driver personally.

its pretty impossible to tell what marshall is going to do this week. you'd think missing the preseason and a lot of practices would hurt his production, but he is brandon marshall.

I'd just start royal, especially if you're in a PPR. With the dinky dunk passing the broncos are doing, royal is going to get the ball at least 8 times..the problem is will the broncos get predictable and have those 8 receptions be really short completions. Most of them probably will be shot completions but he will break off a few, especially if marshall is out there. I think royal will be very similar to wes welker.

I'd go with royal, driver, and edwards to be safe. Nobody knows what marshall is going to do and I wouldn't start him until hes got his head back in the game.

thx for help w/ mine.

i also have marshall in a league and i'm not sure what to do with him this week. he's a better talent than royal imo and eventually should outproduce, but it really is impossible to tell what he will do in week 1. i think royal is a safer bet but marshall has a higher upside so depending on your matchup you might roll the dice. ive seen some responses saying royal should be a killer in ppr leagues this week but last year marshall was a ppr beast, so i'm not sure why ppl feel this will change.

i'm hoping orton realizes he needs to get the ball in marshalls hands.

thanks for the help on mine.

chicago secondary is a mess right now, ill take driver for sure.
i like royal a lot, he gets looks and a lot of high comp. percentage passes. safe bet.
and edwards should get about 15 targets in a game where the browns have to throw, and throw often. if he can hang on to 8 of those, he should have a solid outing.

give marshall a week or two to get his life together, and i think he'll emerge as a consistent play.

IF you start 2 WR's, i'd go with Driver ( Chicago's secondary is weak), and Royal (instead of Marshall for the same reasons mentioned above). IF you get to start a 3rd WR, I'd go with Edwards...he should also have a decent game as I expect them to be playing from behind and throwing alot

I would say this week the safer bet is Royal. Although I am not sure either of them are safe with Ortons finger.
