NFL Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em Advice

Question: I need help picking my RB and WR in Week 2?

Start 2 of:
Adrian Peterson
Maurice Jones-Drew
Beanie Wells
Fred Jackson
Ryan Grant
Pierre Thomas

Start 3 of:
Brandon Lloyd
Brandon Marshall
Percy Harvin
Santonio Holmes

Answer:

Adrian Peterson – For obvious reasons.

Fred Jackson – He has a great matchup against Oakland and should put up big numbers. He looked great last week.

Out of the WR, I would sit Percey Harvin because I believe that Harvin isn’t able to put up consistent numbers yet.  The other three should be able to put up good numbers.  And this is coming from a Vikings fan!

Do not start Maucine Jones-Drew with Mercedes Lewis hurt along with the Jaguars other primary reciever. The Jets can just stack the box and shut down Jones-Drew. I would not be surprised if the Jets completely shut down the Jaguars.…

Question

I am in a non PRR league. I have Carnell Williams (will start for the injured Steven Jackson), Darren Sproles, and DeAngelo Williams. Which RB should I start this week in week 2?

Answer

Carnell Williams. With jackson out, you know he’s going to get a lot of carries for the Rams. Bradford also has an injured hand so the Rams should be running the football a lot this weekend. Ingraham is getting the bulk of the carries for the Saints so it’s unknown how many touches Sproles can get, but he’s always due for fantasy upside.

Question: Which RB do I go with in week 2?

I’m in a PPR league and have Ray Rice, Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Tolbert. Who do I start?

Best answer:

Ray Rice is  starter every week. I also expect Mendenhall to bounce back against a horrendous Seahawks defense. Good Luck

Question: Which RBs should I start in week 1?

Chris Johnson @ JAX
DeAngelo Williams @ ARI
Shonn Greene @ DAL

I am leaning towards DeAngelo and Shonn Greene because I am not sure how many touches Chris Johnson will get in his first week back. Tennessee’s coach also said that Johnson will be limited in his first game back.

Best answer:

Why would Chris Johnson be limited? I would play him since Jacksonville’s defense if atrocious. In the second RB spot, I would go with DeAngelo Williams since Arizona has a poor run defense and the Cowboys run defense should be pretty solid this year. Bench Greene this week.

Question: Who should I start in Week 1?

Mark Sanchez vs. DAL or Kyle Orton vs. OAK?

Felix Jones vs. NYJ or Fred Jackson vs. KC?

Answer:

Tough luck on your QB situation. How did you fail to draft a quality QB. You should be in luck week 1 with Kyle Orton vs. Oakland ince Oakland’s secondary is rather week.

Fred Jackson against KC is the choice there. Fred Jackson is the featured back and I like his ability to both run an receive. While Felix Jones has the same capabilities, he doesn’t have the featured role. Jones will be limited in his carries and the Jets are stellar against the run.

Go with Kyle Orton and Fred Jackson.

Question: Sit/Start: Week 2 RB’s – Forte, McFadden, Norwood, or Moreno?

I had Matt Forte and Darren McFadden starting week 1 and they both played poorly. Should I start Matt Forte vs. Pittsburgh this week and switch out Darren McFadden vs. Kansas City? Start Darius Norwood and Matte Forte perhaps? I don’t know.  What do you think?Thanks!

Answer:

There’s no question that you go with Forte and McFadden. McFadden is playing KC and should have a good game and you cant ever sit Matt Forte, especially with all of his touches in the passing game. I’m not sure you can ever sit McFadden for Norwood, that’s crazy talk! Run DMC is going to have a big season.…

Question: In week 1, do I go with Steve Smith or Lee Evans?

I need a WR to play this week in my FLEX positio nand since I have no good RBs on my bench I decided to start either Steve Smith (CAR) or Lee Evans (BAL).

I personally don’t see the Ravens offense doing too much against the Steelers D. For the Panthers, Steve Smith is good, but I don’t know if I can rely on Cam Newton in his first start as a rookie to get the ball to Steve Smith, albeit against a poor Cardinals D.  Just looking for some opinions.

Answer:

Go with Steve Smith. Believe me, Cam Newton will have an impressive year. Matt Ryan had a monster game in his NFL debut. I expect big things from Cam Newton. Yeah, he is a rookie QB and a terrible team, but Steve Smith is by far the best talent and I’m sure he’ll get his yards against the Cardinals. Evans, as you said, gets stuck with Pitt D and he may not even be able to put up any significant yardage.
