WR2/flex: Austin, Harvin, Stewart, Goodson, Obamanu? WHIR

Postby zftcg » Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:37 pm

Austin @ Indy
Harvin vs Buffalo
Goodson/Stewart @ Seattle
Obamanu vs. Carolina

0.5 PPR league. Reeling from injuries (Gore, SSmith, VJax). I have Bradshaw/DMC locked in as my RBs and Wallace as my WR1. I have Gerhart and will definitely start him if AD is out, but not otherwise (and it looks like that will be the case). So I need to start two of the following. Pros and cons:

* Austin: Keeps scoring, but they're not actually throwing to him that much.
* Harvin: Two straight bad games. Buffalo has a decent pass D, and more importantly, a horrible run D, so they probably won't be throwing much.
* Goodson/Stewart. Good matchup, so I like both of them (probably Goodson slightly more because of the receiving potential), but I don't know if I really trust either of them.
* Obomanu: Would pick him up for Gerhart if Peterson plays (and if MWilliams sits). Has been really hot the past few weeks.

I'd go Austin but those are some interesting options.

If Mike Williams (SEA) doesn't play, you have to strongly consider Obomanu. Mike Goodson, since you're getting value for receptions, is another nice option here vs. SEA's miserable run defense.

I would go with goodsen. Ppr value and matchup are good. I would also go Austin because he keeps scoring. He's a Playmaker. Obamanu is tempting but very risky.

I think you have to start Austin first of all. Secondly, Harvin on a possibly revived Viking team.

Thanks for your help on mine, its a shame man i was at the top of my league with bradshaw and mcfadden leading the waay earlier in the season it sucks how much theyve regressed the past few weeks and im in danger of not making the playoffs. Anyway, I think Austin would be the safest play here. Peyton Manning is in the worst funk of his career. Theres no way he can keep this going. I think we are in store for a big day from him which in turn will make Dallas throw the ball. Obomanu does have a good matchup, i picked him up in my league, but in a crucial playoff deciding game i wouldnt trust him. If not Austin i would most likely go goodson. It sucks because Stewart and Goodson are going to split right down the middle so i see mediocre days from both of them, rather than a huge day from one of them. Best of luck.
