Couple of tough ones....help WHIR

Postby tbird2000 » Fri Sep 18, 2009 9:41 am

Is it just me or is it hard to make adjustments to your lineup based on week 1 performances and this weeks' opposing defenses, this is what makes FF fun as hell. WHIR

Start 3 WR's
Boldin @ JAC (appears to be more healthy than last week)
Roy Williams vs NYG (tough defensive line)
Harvin @ Det (could have a beast of a game here with Berrian still not 100% and no rapport with Favre yet)
E.Bennett vs PITT (not gonna touch this one I think, although with Polamalu out it makes me think twice)
Nate Washington vs HOU (like the matchup but he is just now getting to full health)
Josh Morgan vs SEA (not sure what exactly to make of this kid yet, decent matchup if SEA's secondary is still banged up)

AND

Start 3 RB's
Turner vs CAR (still a must start regardless of last week and this weeks defensive matchup)
R.Rice @ SD (for 3 quarters SD's D-line was pushed around by Seymour and Co., gonna start him I think)
Leon Washington vs NE (huge game for the Jets and I think they will show up.)
McFadden @ KC (I'm leaning toward DMC over Leon based on matchup but KC usually shows up for this rivalry @ Arrowhead)

Thanks for help, leave a link

I think you have to start Roy Williams and Boldin almost every week. It looks like you will have some flexibility in your WR3 though. I personally would go with Earl Bennett. He had more targets last week than forte, hester, and olsen...combined. Cutler def looks to this guy when he needs a plays so I think he may actually be in for a pretty decent season.

As far as your rb's go I think he decision is fairly easy. Turner, RR, and McFadden. I look for McFadden to have a big week this week. He torched KC last year in week 2 for 160 and a TD. Cable loves to run the ball and I think he reaps the benefits this weekend. Good luck and nice team.

Reggie Wayne and the Colts Shredded the Jags pass D so I say Boldin ins a lock, plus I find it hard to believe that Warner will have 2 garbage weeks in a row. I expect a bounce back.
R. Williams is a fairly safe bet based on what the cowboys did last week, but did you see the Giants handle the Skins passing game, plus let’s look long and hard at how the Saints were able to absolutely shred the Lions to pieces. I think that if any week would be good to start Harvin it’ll be this week. He’s got momentum, it’s clear that the Vikes want to insert him into the mix in a variety of roles. He could post huge numbers, especially if the Vikes get an early lead and they decide to SIT AP for a bit like they did last week. That all goes without even mentioning the fact that you are going to have a field at RB. This should give you enough breathing room to comfortably start someone like Harvin…I mean he was drafted for a reason right?

At RB I say that sure without question you go turner as your #1 Carolina seems to be struggling which means that the Birds might get out to an early lead and let turner burn off the clock. But it’s going to be fun to determine your number 2 guy. Now, I have to admit my personal bias toward L. Washington and how much of an impact I expect him to be this season, but Rice could very easily put up huge numbers for you. I would be cautious about starting Mc Fadden, the Bolts defense last week looked shoddy and slow ill prepared for the bruising run attack Oakland delivered, but then again, KC did not show much more muscle. Oakland will lean on the run as they did last week which will make McFadden a stable starter, but then again Washington and rice have game breaking potential. If it were me my line up would be as such, just base on who I like going into this game.

WR – Boldin, Harvin, and Bennett
RB – Turner, L. Washington

However if you want to take a more conservative approach I would say, start Washington with Williams instead of Harvin, or start Harvin with McFadden instead of Washington, that way you are playing one high floor low ceiling guy with one low floor high ceiling guy in each case. It’s going to be fun no matter how you go. Your team is stacked it’s early in the season so the strategy is up to you to be a gunslinger or a game manager, either way could be successful this week.
