Stacked team! Who to start? WHIR

Postby hezagenius » Sat Oct 17, 2009 11:34 pm

We start 1 RB, 1 WR and 3 Flex players and it is a NON-PPR league.

Here's my starters as of now:
RB - Peterson (MIN) v BAL
WR - Fitzgerald @ SEA
Flex1 - Forte @ ATL
Flex2 - Pierre Thomas v NYG
Flex3 - Brandon Marshall @ SD
I also have Wes Welker v TEN, DeSean Jackson @ OAK and Sproles v DEN

Before anyone asks, this is a keeper league and I kept Peterson and Forte from last year.

Obviously Peterson and Fitzy are no brainers

Forte has a good matchup against a shaky ATL run D although if ATL gets ahead early, he will be limited.

Thomas has a crowded backfield but has come on strong in the last 2 games and NYG has an average run D. I am concerned about his injuries. NO shouldn't be playing from behind so I think Thomas will stay relevant the whole game, assuming he plays.

Marshall is on fire right now and this game could be a shootout so I pretty much have to start him, right?

Welker has a lot of potential this week although the weather is a concern.

Jackson is up against a horrible OAK team but it could be the Westbrook show this weekend and Jackson will face one of the better cover men in football.

Sproles is always a sneaky play but could just as easily put up a goose egg.

So, any reason to plug in Welker, Jackson or Sproles into my lineup? If so, who should I bump?

Thanks for help with mine! FYI, too much to read here...that's why you're not getting too much help...Keep it short.

I think your lineup looks good. LT should (and always does) have a good week v. Denver, so Spoles might not do as much as he normally does this week. Not worth a start. PHI-OAK game will be a blowout, but a running blowout. DeShaun Jackson wont see much...I think it'll be a BWestbrook show in Oak.

I might suggest starting Welker over PThomas. Welker will see a lot of throws against Tenn Def this week. PThomas is splitting time between 3 backs, in a game that I think might turn into a passing game. That would be my only suggestion.

Good luck!

Thanks for the help on mine.

And I agree, if you make any switch, take out Thomas for Welker. Tennessee is one of, if not the worst pass D in the league this year and Cortland Finnegan will not play due to injury.
