NFL Week 2 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Advice

Question: Which RB do I start in week 2?

I’m not too high on Felix Jones after his dud last week. I have Willis McGahee on my bench and he is getting almost all of the carries in Denver. I also have Pierre Thomas on my bench, who is capable of putting up some serious points on the Saints offense, but he has some injury concerns.

Best answer:

I would bench Felix Jones. I always concerned with the amount of touches Felix Jones gets. He can put up some fantasy monster games, but he’s far too inconsistent for me to start every week. With concerns remaining over Knowshon Moreno’s knee, Willis McGahee should still continue to get the bulk of carries for Denver so I think you should put him in your starting lineup.

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: 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: Start/Sit question? Forte or Leon Washington?

Should I sit Matt Forte against Pittsburgh for Leon Washington who is facing New England?

I’m worried about Jay Cutler’s impact on Matt Forte’s stats and obviously the Steeler’s defense. I think Leon Washington could be huge this season, plus the Pats “revamped” defense (which just lost Richard Seymour and Jerod Mayo) already gave up a big fantasy game to Buffalo’s Fred Jackson. Am I getting “too cute” here?

Answer:

Leon Washington is good and I like him too this year. But like you said, don’t get too cute. You probably got Matt Forte as your stud RB. Play him no matter what.

My concern with the Bears this year is that they’re getting away from what they should be. They’re a running team. Forte should be getting his carries. During the Sunday night game, it seemed like the Beers felt like since they got Cutler, they had to run the Broncos offense from last year. Denver ran that offense because they had strong WR’s. The Bears strength is their running game.

Question: Start/Sit for Week 2: Miller, Bruce at WR/TE?

Another week another start/sit conundrum.

I have Zach Miller (Oakland at Kansas City), Isaac Bruce (San Francisco vs. Seattle), and Earl Bennett (Chicago vs. Pittsburgh) as possible WR/TE flex options. I’m not loving Bennett here, and both Bruce and Miller put on great shows last week, and both have favorable match ups.

Bruce has a lot of experience against the Seattle secondary, and Miller will eat up Kansas City if he gets targeted like he did last week.

Who do I start?

Should I take the gamble and start Jason Campbell against St. Louis over Tony Romo against the Giants (coming off of a career week, and, historically, being strong against NYG)?

Answer:

I would start Miller and Romo. Miller looks to be JaMarcus Russels saftey value (Oakland started two rookie WRs). Don’t even bother with Cambpell. He only had 4 really good games last year (300 yds and/or 2 TDs which gives him a 25% constistancy rating in my book) vs Romo (who had a 75% consistancy rating).…
