Help on who to start!

Postby bigjeffrey87 » Wed Dec 15, 2010 1:22 pm

Ok, so im in a PPR league and the first week of the first playoff round i got demolished, im down by 30 or so points. Needless to say i need a MIRACLE.
Very confused on who to start, but here are my options. I need 2 receivers and a flex.

Tim Hightower - Had him earlier in the season and he didn't do much for me, but he had that monster game against Denver. Now hes up against Carolina who just got owned my Michael Turner for 3 touchdowns. Add on to that Hightower is way outperforming Beanie Wells so theres not much to worry about there. I'm leaning heavily on Hightower as my flex.

Brandon Lloyd - Been my #1 receiver all year long (i drafted alot of "bust" WRs) but as of late, he and the Broncos in general have looked like crap. Add to that it's the Raiders they're playing, and last time he only had one catch for 40 or so yards. Not really sure if i have so much faith in him anymore but hey the minute i take him out is when he has his game of the year right?

Jeremy Maclin - Not sure where i really stand with Maclin, hes been pretty consistent and is coming off his worst game this season last week, and i feel like he doesn't really have consecutive bad games. He's up against the Giants which is a rough matchup but Maclin's last game vs the Giants he has 9 catches for 120 yards. Probably gonna play him.

Mike Williams - Been consistent all year except last week which disappointed me. I thought he'd have at least a decent game against the crappy Redskins. Not really sure where i stand with him. Playing the Lions which won't give Freeman much time to look down the field.

Santana Moss - He's had good numbers all year, playing the Cowboys which ESPN has ranked as dead last against opposing WRs. Probably a solid play.

Thanks for the help, and good luck to all in their leagues.

I agree with you about Tim Hightower in the flex position. Since you need a miracle, I think you need to play riskier guys who have a higher upside - that being said, I recommend Maclin and Lloyd. I don't see Moss having a huge game, Williams maybe, but not Moss.

I completely agree with running flyers and going with Maclin and Llyod and Hightower.
