Start Ocho week 7?

[hwrayner]

Hey guys,

Looking for opinions on starting Ocho this week. 1pt PPR league. He's up against the Falcons at Atlanta. Atl's D is pretty banged up, but I'm not sure if I start him over these guys.

WR1 Miles Austin vs Giants at Dallas. At least the Dal pass offense is still ok.
WR2 Jeremy Maclin at Titans. Philly's #1 receiver for now, the Titans D may bend a little.
Flex Hakeem Nicks at Dallas. May be a high scoring slug fest Monday night.

Post your topic link, I will offer my opinion. Thanks.

Team
QB Matt Schaub, Matt Hasselbeck
RB Ray Rice, DeAngelo Williams, Jahvid Best, Mike Tolbert
WR Chad Ochocinco, Jeremy Maclin, Miles Austin, Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate
TE Dallas Clark, Brent Celek
D/ST Chargers, Dolphins
K Neil Rackers

Yeah, I thought there would be a low response for this one. This one is going to be a gut call, all 4 WR have potential, but... Ocho has an inconsistant Palmer, the Giants may key on Austin, will Manning get Nicks the ball, and will Maclin get the ball.

With Nicks now with a gimpy hamstring and a Monday night game, should I be playing Ocho instead of Nicks? I hate having a questionable tag on a player and still playing him, you never know what you're going to get (ie Ray Rice week 4).

Good news is both Nicks and Ocho are good receivers so whichever one you choose you should be fine. That being said, I think you have sit NIcks right now until you hear something about him. Right now he's saying its "just fatigue" but that could mean a few things, most being bad.

Thanks for your help with mine. I'd start Ocho this week, but that's only because Nicks plays on monday, so you won't really know his status until it's too late.

Tough call...my main problem with Ocho is actually Palmer. As stated above, you should be fine either way, but I'd do with Nicks by a hair. Good luck!

Its not the greatest of options but i think id go with Ocho, for the reason that nicks is questionable and playing monday night. if they sit him u dont have anyone to replace him and u get 0 for a player. I personally think if Nicks plays he will put up more points, but Ocho is the safe pick.

thanks for your help!
