Week Two Lineup Advice

Yes … he needs to be owned and I’d drop Lewis of those three.

Too early to give up on him. If you have to … trade him but you’re selling low. Hold on, I think he’ll deliver in the near term.

I wouldn’t sit Steve Smith … he’s too locked in right now. STart him with confidence.

I think both are fine. I’d like to see performance from Richardson before starting him but both players can be started.

I’d hold onto both Ballard and Allen. Ballard is a toss up but so is Richardson. Robinson is just so much of an unknown. Ballard only really has Brown in front of him and that’s a good situation. Allen is borderline but I’d still hold onto him here unless you really need help at receiver, in which case you can drop him. I don’t like dropping rookies I drafted after week 1.

I’d likely hold them both unless I really needed TE help in which case I’d drop Brazill for Bennett

Howdy Alan,

I’d start Schaub. Locker is sporing that shoulder injury and Schaub looked good.

I’d start Bradshaw and Martin without any thought. I’m tired of being burned by CAR backs.

I’d start Wallace, Brown and Wright. Cobb is a close 4th but I’d only start him over Wright if I was a Packer fan and wanted to watch the game.

Thanks for the kudos.

I understand your concern and it’s a tough spot … I have similar issues as you, but I’m sticking with Fitz and Welker for week 2. Not easy to do but I sleep better knowing my studs are in the game.

This is a move that will get me fired by a reader. 🙂 I can’t sit Beast Mode for Morries. I know Morris scored and posted well but I don’t trust Shanahan at all. Too many backs in their playpen.

Give me the known commodities first.

Hey, this is a family show. 🙂

Honestly, get anyone you can. It’s not like you’re going to land a good RB1 at this point so you don’t want to take a good WR group and make them mediocre. You need to ride with those WRs now. See if you can pick up a RB2 or RB3 with your depth to delay a year or so. Names like Michael Turner, Cedric Benson or Willis McGahee.

Tough choices. Torrey Smith is a lock but is up against a tough D. I don’t think you can start Jeffery yet. I still think it’s too early for Cobb.

I’d start Smith and Lloyd.

Hard to say in GB because they have a lot of good possibilities and each week someone else steps up. He’s no worse than the WR3. Cobb gets the edge if you’re in a return league.

I’d start Stafford still.

That’s the order on your RBs.

Picking defenses is a crap shoot. I slightly favor Buffalo here for the next few weeks.

Oh God …. Stafford please. Never bench your studs.

I think Flacco is your only other choice but he’s up against a touch Eagles D. At least it looks tough.

I’d still go with Vick one more week here.

I’m playing Brown this week. They shouldn’t be playing from behind like last week and Brown is their most dynamic player in the backfield.

I’m okay with that since BJGE is up against CLE this week. It’s a tough play and Richardson could put it together at any point, but he sure looked pedestrian and tentative.

That is really tough. I may get crucified here but I’d start CJ and Lynch.

Spiller has to play this week. And I’d play AP over Martin. AP is up against the Colts.

Sure would be fun to watch Cobb on Thurs. But I’d put in Wallace against the Jets. Tough call though.

Jackson and Richardson for me. I’d sit Smith this week although I hate doing that. McGahee warrants some consideration but I’ll stick with Jackson and TRich.

Interesting choice and good group there. I’d start Vick and Newton.

PPR makes this a tough choice but I’ll take the guaranteed touches of BJGE over what seems like a tough PHI pass defense early in the season.

I’d hold onto Turbin unless you have Steven Jackson.

Great to hear that. We always thought we could be better than some believed most others thought we eventually could be. 🙂 Glad you’re enjoying it.

That is tough, I’d sit Nicks and SJax

Ah …. just noticed …. was wondering where “The Vich” was.

I don’t like Holmes, on any level. Start Britt.

Gotta play Schaub this week.

I’d sit Nicks until he’s fully healthy.

Rudolph.

I like Blackmon this week and I think Crabtree will continue to be targeted. Give me those two as well.

He sure did. It’s a toss up, a coin flip … six of one and half dozen of the other. He’s got the better matchup as well. I’m okay in starting him over the Beast.

I won’t start Williams again in all likelihood, that was a horrible performance and I was all over him this past week to really put together a great game.

Go with the guaranteed touches of Bush.

Hate to say it but you probably have to start Bryant and Austin. Garcon and Jennings look to be out and/or hobbled.

I’m leaning toward the same three so we can’t both be wrong …. right?

Spiller is going to get a heavy workload … start him.

AJG
TBMW
Cobb
DHB

TE: Celek

Blackmon and I’d risk playing Britt as well. Bess is interesting but not until the Dolphins find some chemistry.

Non PPR takes me to Donald Brown. I think he’s going to see a lot of touches and they should be in the game longer this week.

Gotta roll with Morris this week. Shanny plays the hot hand and Morris is hot enough

CJ and BJGE.

Ryan for me.

Not unless you’re desperate with Lafell.

Rudolph although I’d like to say Davis.

Tough choices. I’m not sitting CJ yet. In fact, I’d go all in on all those RBs this week. May be a mistake as Brown is really good in PPR in most cases, but I’m sticking with the RBs.

I think you start RGIII.

I like your order.

I’d risk Cobb … more upside. Jones can be good but you just never know.

Cutler.

I’d still start White and Colston. Austin is a close #3.

I’d start Colston, Thomas and Martin this week.

I sat Nicks last week and it was a good sit, may be playing with fire … but he doesn’t look right yet.

Morris and TRich. Decker is a very close #3 if you’re feeling like playing him. If so, you could go Decker over Morris … but I’d roll with the RBs.

Crabtree in PPR. Cobb is too much of a mystery right now still. Fleener is as well and Smith has a very tough matchup.

Coin flip. I’d give Gonzo the edge this week as he has a better chance to score. I expect Rudolph to get more receptions.

Gonzo in non PPR, he’s a red zone threat.

No .. start VJax.

Hey Vince.

I think you hold onto what you have. Little is really disappointing but you can’t cut bait on him. I like the upside of Jeffery but he has a better future than present value.

I’d hold Vereen still but Turbin is a very close #2. Your RBs are fine.

Lance Moore for the chance at a deep score.
Amendola, Smith, Hill (Let’s give Britt one more week here)
Because of PPR, I’d start Bush this week … they have nothing else.
Floyd and LaFell – Pray.

Thanks for the props.

Welker, Austin and Decker. If you want to play Wallace ahead of Austin, you can … it’s very close this week. I’d still go with Austin.
