YOU MAKE THE CALL!

Postby DV8 » Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:41 pm

So I have the reputation of putting my coaches rating in the tank right off the hopper, so I decided to change things this year!

WEEK 1: Who should I start?? 1 from each position except WR and RB.. we start 2!

Starters:
QB - Tony Romo - Dal
RB - Ryan Grant - GB
RB - Felix Jones - Dal
WR - Terrell Owens - Buf
WR - Greg Jennings - GB
TE - John Carlson - Sea
K - Rob Bironas - Ten
DL - Justin Tuck - NYG
LB - Demeco Ryans - Hou
DB - Gibril Wilson - Mia

Bench:
QB - Mark Sanchez - NYJ
RB - LenDale White - Ten
RB - Tim Hightower - Ari
WR - Eddie Royal - Den
TE - Anthony Fasano - Mia
K - Kris Brown - Hou
DL - Adewale Ogunleye - Chi
LB - Terrell Suggs - Bal
DB - Antrell Rolle

I can't hlp you much on the IDP, sorry!

I'd say the lineup you have looks ok, except I'd probably start Tim Hightower over Felix Jones, mostly because Beanie Wells is not 100%. You're also hurt because the Cowboys have three pretty good running backs, who I think may end up sharing the load this season. That being said, it still could turn into the Felix Jones show sometime this year, so keep an eye open.

Also, you look a bit weak at running back, so I'd watch the first few weeks' action really closely, and try to find a sleeper on the waiver wire.

PS---I like Mark Sanchez after seeing him in the preseason. Most fantasy analysts are not too high on him, but I think he may surprise a few people this year. Of course, this doesn't mean start him over Tony Romo this week :)

Ya I drafted 7th and got screwed on the running backs I truly wanted. High insight being 20/20 I should have protected Marshawn Lynch over Felix Jones... But I am just unsure of that offense and what his head is going to be like when he comes off suspension. Jones has the homerun potential and I think Barber just can't continue to run the way he does and stay injury free.

I will definitely be monitoring the waiver wire....
right now all that is available is this....

McClain, LeRon RB BAL
Rhodes, Dominic RB BUF
Faulk, Kevin RB NE
Morris, Sammy RB NE
Moore, Mewelde RB PIT
Dunn, Warrick RB TB
Norwood, Jerious RB ATL
Williams, Ricky RB MIA
Fargas, Justin RB OAK
Graham, Earnest RB TB
Buckhalter, Correll RB DEN
McAllister, Deuce RB NO
Hillis, Peyton RB DEN
Morris, Maurice RB DET
James, Edgerrin RB SEA
Choice, Tashard RB DAL

Eddie Royal is a sure start instead of TO. They're playing CIN. And Marshall hasn't been in camp for a bit. He'll be getting lots of looks from Orton.

Really??? Wow.. I never would have thought to start Royal over Owens.. especially with Orton's status up in the air? I looked on the start 'em sit'em page and they did say this about Royal, so maybe it is something to consider....

There's reason to be concerned with the Broncos passing game in Week 1 with the status for QB Kyle Orton (finger) unknown and the whole Brandon Marshall situation, but Royal should be a safe bet at Cincinnati. No matter who lines up under center, those short throws underneath to Royal will be there. And Royal should take advantage of the Bengals' weak pass defense, which allowed 23 touchdowns last year.
