NFL Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em Advice

Question: It’s week 14 and I’m in the playoffs. I just need one player to put into the FLEX position.

Pick one of the following players to start in my FLEX this week:

1.) Michael Turner (Q) vs. NO
2.) Kenny Britt vs. STL
3.) Steve Smith (NYG) vs. PHI
4.) Vincent Jackson @ DAL

Who would you pick and why?

Answer:

I think you need to wait a bit to find out Michael Turner’s status. If he plays, he’s a great start, because the Saints defense is very banged up and this game isn’t a lock for New Orleans. Meanwhile, it’s a must win for the Falcons if they want to have a shot at making the plays. If Turner is in the lineup for the Falcons, I would definitely start him.

The other no brainer is Kenny Britt. The Cardinals may have lost Otugwe for the rest of the season and their defense is terrible

Question: Which WR should I pick in week 13?

I need one of these to start this week, so who do you think will put up more points?

Anthony Gonzalez vs. CLE
Santonio Holmes vs. NE

Who would you put in the WR3 spot?

Answer:

I would go with Anthony Gonzalez since he’s Peyton Manning’ s 3rd down target and the Bears pass defense against slot receivers really isn’t all that great. Holmes has a tougher matchup against the Patriots so I would go with Gonzales!

Question: Who should I start at WR in week 11?

I’m in a 3WR league. I already starting DeSean Jackson.

I need to pick two more out of the following:

Pierre Garcon @ NE-  Is a horrible pass catcher now and don’t know if he can be trusted especially with Manning’s eyes

Danny Woodhead vs. IND – He can be used as a WR/RB in my league and this could benefit since the Colts are horrible against the run.

Stevie Johnson @ CIN – Bengals have some of the best CBs in the league and managed to shut down the Colts pass attack and this might force the Bills to run the football throughout the game.

Randy Moss vs. WAS – Has a habbit of laying an egg just about every single week and now he’s up against a weak Redskins D but can I trust him?

Best answer:

Garçon and Moss should reward you. Woodhead is limited because of Green-Ellis and Bradys love of “spreading the ball” around. Stevie Johnson will only get you around 4 catches for 48 yards if you’re lucky. Wayne will almost get double cover and should open up space for Garcon. Roll the dice with Garçon and Moss.

Question: Week 12: Start Steven Jackson or Maurice Jones Drew?

Maurice Jones-Drew has some kind of injury, but will probably play this Sunday against the Giants. Does anyone know how serious this injury is and how it will affect his performance? I have Steven Jackson on my bench and Jackson is starting against Denver. I’m tempted to sit MJD and start Jackson instead.  Just wanted to get your thoughts.

Answer:

Maurice Jones-Drew will start on Sunday, but he won’t be 100%. Since that’s the case, you can’t go wrong with Steven Jackson against Denver. Who is your other running back. I’m surprised that you have MJD and have Steven Jackson on your bench to begin with.

Question by The Guy With A Plan: Who to start/sit in Week 9 Fantasy Football?

ESPN Standard League, 14 teams, 1 QB – 2 RB – 1 RB/WR – 2 WR – 1 TE – 1 D/ST – 1 K

Position – Name, Team (Projection)

QB – Aaron Rodgers, GB (23)

RB – Ryan Grant, GB (18)
RB – Pierre Thomas, NO (14)
RB – Jamaal Charles, KC (8)

WR – Greg Jennings, GB (21)
WR – Randy Moss, NO (17)
WR – Andre Johnson, Hou (15)
WR – Michael Crabtree, SF (13)
WR – Marques Colston, NO (12)
WR – Mario Manningham, NYG (3) [Questionable]
WR – Bernard Berrian, Min [BYE]

TE – Kellen Winslow, TB (9)
TE – Visanthe Shiancoe [BYE]

D/ST – Bears, Chi (5)
D/ST – Bengals, Cin (3)

K – Matt Stover, Ind
K – Ryan Longwell, Min [BYE]

Please keep in mind that I am in a 14 team league so what might seem like a weak team (specifically at RB) really isn’t that shallow. Also I need a kicker for this week cause Longwell is on a bye week so I don’t know if I should drop someone else or just go this week without a kicker. I put stover up there because he’s who ill probably get. My current record is 3 wins and 5 losses (3-5).

Please rate my team (for a 14 team league), give me some advice, or tell me who I should start/sit for Week 8? Thanks!

Best answer:

Obviously go with Rodgers at QB. I wouldn’t play Jamaal Charles, since he hasn’t shown me anything yet this season.
Start Pierre Thomas, try to pick up a RB, personally i dont ike starting a QB RB tandem. but …

Question: Week 8 sit or start: Warner vs. Schaub?

I have not seen Carolina defense play this year, but they seem to be very inconsistent. Arizona is headed east to play against the Panthers, which has me a bit concerned. I’m going with Kurt Warner right now, but I love the Texans at home in a matchup against  Cincinatti. Should I bench Warner for Schaub?

Answer:

I would play Schaub. The bengals make most of the teams they play look like all stars.
