Help: Old faithfuls versus the hot plays... WHIR!!!

Postby Rusherific » Thu Oct 29, 2009 7:20 pm

I haven't run into many dilemmas until recently this year, and this week has a few:

Do I start Stafford over a hurting Hasselbeck with frankly a disaster for an O-line against the cowboys?

Do I put Vernon Davis in over Greg Olsen? I know Davis leads the league in receiving TD's now, and is the #1 target, but this is coming from a 49'ers fan -- frankly I trust nothing from one week to the next until I see them hold it together in games like this week's against Indy.

And last, has this world really come to the point that I sit LT at oakland for Ray Rice at Denver?

I know a lot of questions, so I will definitely return the favor! :)

Stafford over Hasselback
Olsen over Davis (Bob Sanders will be helping over the top.)
Ray Rice over LT (LT may have a huge game, he may not. Ray Rice will definitely put up something respectable.)

Also, I'd think about starting Harvin over Avery....

Help plz!

Not a good choice either way, they both are injured and neither is for sure to play? All things considered equal, I'd go Hassel. I think he will be good for 200 yds and 1 TD, good possibly for 2. Losing Walter is no fun either, but on the other side Megatron probably won't play?

I like Davis slightly over Olsen, simply based on potential.

I'm a huge SD fan, but frankly it seems LT may have finally hit the wall. If I'm choosing, I'd go with Rice. LT didn't do much against the Raiders in week 1 and the offensive line is still not so good.

If C Johnson plays, you are better of with Stafford. SEA offensive line is hurt and not sure what Hasselbeck will do.
Olsen over Davis just for the same reason you mentioned. Davis has 1 strong game and you need to wait and see if he can produce again. Olsen has an easier game against CLE and should be good for a TD.
Rice is a better choice than LT just because LT is not the same even against weak defense.

Thanks for the help on mine.

Thanks for your help...

I like Stafford over Hass. Like you said Seattle's O line is a mess, and I see Hass running for his life. Stafford is healthy and ready to get back on the field. Plus Megatron is going to give it a go, and that can't hurt.

I really like Davis--it looks like he's finally living up to his potential. I don't see Cutler having to throw all that much vs the Browns, so I'd go with Davis over Olsen.

Finally, I think I'd play Rice over LT as well. Can't believe I'm saying that, but it looks like it's the much smarter play. Win or lose, close game or blowout, Rice seems to produce.

Good luck!

here i start stafford, unless theres someone on the wire, im a local and it dosent sound like c.johnson is playing so probably k.smith all day, but dont hold me against that. i think olsen has a better match up vs. chi with indy d playing well. hard to bend anyone against oak isnt it ?, but i do have rice over lt this week...
