help me start 4 comparable players in a PPR

[two_step08]

as i said PPR league...1 WR and 1 RB with 2 flex

i got:
ronnie brown
clinton portis
ray rice
cedric benson
randy moss
wes welker
v. jackson

and some other slightly lower guys

now i'm starting moss and welker at WR...then i got 2 more--im leaning towards ronnie and portis or rice...rice is not guaranteed as many points as portis, but has the higher potential of the 2...i am a big fan of rice--but hes ranked the 10thish back this week which is a bit outrageous considering hes on a 3 man platoon
so mainly portis or rice--so far im leaning with rice b/c of the PPR

R. Moss
Welker
Rice
Benson

[cwrtlm]

I would go with Moss, Welker,and then Brown and Rice. Both will get their fair share of touches and should catch a fair share of check downs and screen passes. Portis is tough to bench and I could see you playing him over Rice in a standard league, but in a PPR I like Rice's potential to catch 5-8 check down passes and screens. Portis will be lucky to catch 2 balls all night.

believe me benson is tempting me cuz hes gonna get so many carries....

on a side note...my other PPR league---need to start 2 RBs
slaton (hes obviously 1)
k smith
r bush
mcfadden
benson

^^not as easy as it looks to call---with thomas injured, reggie should get plenty of touches including recs. which is big...im between smith bush and benson here--all quite close



and finally..my non ppr league...start 2RBs/3WRs...1 point for 6 rush yards...
at WR im starting jennings, royal, v jax over ginn holmes moore--any opposing opinions

and at RB: i need 2--keep in mind rush yards are at a premium
mcfadden
benson
k smith
r grant
s jax

so far im leaning towards s jax...then between grant smith and benson

Moss, Welker, Rice, and Brown. I'm glad I'm not playing your team. Thanks for the help

In your 2nd PPR league I'd go with Benson over Bush, Benson will get far more carries. I think Bell will get the most touches with Bush maybe lining up as a slot receiver. But I don't think the extra catches for Bush will make up for Benson's production.

You're right, my draft wasn't great but my WRs are my only question. I only need to start 2 WRs as long as I have an RB in at flex. But the rest of my draft went very well. Rivers at QB, Gates at TE, and Steelers at D and S JAx and T Jones at RB1 and RB2. Thanks for your help.

Im not buying into the Cedric Benson hype. Hes averaging like 700 yards a season and a few TDs over the past three years. I need to see some production before Id even think about starting him for any other reason then a Bye week fill in or to account for an injury on my squad

heres a little cleaner setup


TEAM 1

PPR league...1 WR and 1 RB with 2 flex

i got:
ronnie brown
clinton portis
ray rice
cedric benson
randy moss
wes welker
v. jackson



TEAM 2 PPR...3 WR and 2 RB
i obviously gotta start andre, calvin, and welker (all will kill in ppr)

and then 2 of these bad boys:
slaton (hes obviously 1)
k smith
r bush
mcfadden
benson




TEAM 3...nonPPR...start 2RBs/3WRs...1 point for 6 rush yards...
at WR im starting jennings, royal, v jax over ginn holmes moore--any opposing opinions?

and at RB: i need 2--keep in mind rush yards are at a premium
mcfadden
benson
k smith
r grant
s jax

so far im leaning towards s jax...then between grant smith and benson


help with any is very appreciated and i WHIR

Too bad you didn't start holmes, I made the same mistake in one of my leagues and i'm kicking myself

[two_step08]

luckily (somewhat) it wasnt my ppr league-thats thedifference of 10 points...either way he did have quite a game and i kno how you feel
