Forte, Thomas, Boldin, White? WHIR

[Team Gooch]

I need to start 2 RB's & 2 WR's. Just want some opinions to see if I'm doing the right thing. Leave a link to yours and I'll try and help you out.

RB's
Forte @ Atl, Atl giving up 127yds/game plus Chic had extra week to prepare.
Jacobs @ NO, Bradshaw is looking like the better back right now. Saints D is looking good
Thomas vs NYG, Giants run D isnt as good as their pass D. Mike Bell is back
Portis vs KC, Chiefs giving up almost 133yds/game but Portis/Redskins havent looked good at all

Thinking about going with Forte & Thomas but will Bell steal carries from Thomas now that he is back from injury?

WR's
Boldin @ Sea, Seahawks D plays well at home
Smith(Car) @ TB, Carolina offense is struggling but Smith is still getting plenty of targets
White vs Chic, White went crazy last week but Chicago is coming off a bye
Sims-Walker vs STL, Rams suck. how much will the Jags need to throw?

Im thinking Boldin & White.

My Team
QB-Brady(NE)
RB-Forte(Chic), Jacobs(NYG), Portis(Was), R. Brown(Mia), P. Thomas(NO)
WR-Boldin(Arz), Smith(Car), White(Atl), Sims-Walker(Jax)
TE-Carlson(Sea)
K-Longwell(Min)
D-Phil

10 Team League
passing 30yds per point, TD's = 6, -2 INT's
Rush/Rec No PPR, 10yds per point, TD's =6

Thanks for looking at mine!

Forte is a must start. Regarding your 2nd back, I'd actually lean towards Portis, since both the Giants and Saints defenses have been pretty decent, and KC is not good. If you don't want Portis, I'd go Pierre over Jacobs.

I agree with your WR thinking, I'd start Roddy for sure, and I think I'd lean towards Boldin, as he's more of a seasoned veteran than Sims-Walker and is probably the safer bet.

I'm agreeing with the poster above me. Forte is usually always a must start and I think Portis is on the comeback trail esp. against the such a horrible team in the Cheifs. Roddy is also a must start and really, Boldin is also barring some matchups. With Steve Smith getting no TD love you're set with Roddy and Boldin!


Would love your opinion on a possible trade I'm doing!

How can people be on board with Portis? Matchups are not all that! Portis has been aaawful. Did you see that safety against him last week? You should be trading his ass! Especially if he does well this week. That said I'd go with Forte and Jacobs. I see the Giants trying to control the clock to keep the Saints offense off the field. They're gonna do that with Jacobs. The same argument can be made for Thomas too, though. It's kind of a tossup.

As for your WR, you gotta go with Boldin. He tore up the Hawks last year. Then I think you go with White. He destroyed last week and I'm still not totally sold on Sims-Walker. I'd wait for Steve Smith to show a sign of life before you start him over these other guys.


Thanks for the help on mine.

[dude,micah]

forte portis roddy and boldin thank you for answering mine

[yode]

id put in Smith and White for WR, contrary to what people are saying about Boldin. Smith is going up against a VERY easy matchup in TB, and i think he will have his first big game this week.

FOrte, Thomas, White, & Boldin. I think Sims Walker will do well this weekend but safe bets are white and boldin. I would avoid Portis like the Swine Flu.
