Brown for one. Probably Bradshaw next.

No Grimes for Atlanta either. I'd go Decker and Brown.

BaLLiN · 09-16-2012, 12:16 AM

So again, andrew luck versus the vikings, who will probably be competitive and score while also having a good defensive line so the colts wont run as much right?

or...

Alex Smith who has better weapons, but most likely the 49ers are going to run because i don't expect detroit's offense to be able to score on the san fran D. The one thing is that if detroit is able to, and they get up, alex smith and his weapons vs. detroit and their injured defensive backfield is a good matchup.

I currently have smith in (vick is my original starter but he has baltimore) and luck is a FA. what should i do?

Which defensive player should I start between Von Miller and Aldon Smith in my yahoo league?

Both Ryan and Stafford were only sacked once last week, but neither opponent had a pass rusher like those two sophomores.

It's more than week one. I like the trade.

Those top 3 are all great options this week, so you should be fine with either pairing. I'd say Decker in the prime time game would be 1 with Brown as 1a and Bradshaw as 1b b/c he has the worst matchup.

Didn't realize you had Vick. The Ravens gave up plenty of offense last week. If you have a lineup that has some solid, reliable points you should consider rolling the dice on Vick as a risk / reward type play.

There's a crap shoot, if I've ever seen one. I haven't read up too much on Smith's playing time. He was supposed to be worked into a full time OLB role after being a rush specialist last year. Is he being used that way? (one week sample . . . yeah)

If not, Miller is the better start since he's basically always on the field.

Rob S · 09-16-2012, 09:22 AM

Alright, guys:

Vick vs BAL or Rivers vs TEN

FLEX 1: Harvin @ IND, McGahee @ ATL, Bowe @ BUF, D-Jax vs BAL.

Not sure on the QB. Gotta be Harvin for FLEX, right? I'm tempted by Willis because he is Monday night, but Harvin is a beast.

Matthew Jones · 09-16-2012, 09:30 AM

0.5 PPR, Jeremy Maclin (Q) vs. BAL or Eric Decker @ ATL?

Deckerrrrrr

Jakey · 09-16-2012, 09:40 AM

Who wins this trade? 1PPR.

Team 1 Gets: Mikel LeShoure & Vincent Jackson

Team 2 Gets: Alfred Morris & Anquan Boldin

And why?

Thanks guys, +rep for helpful answers :D

If Maclin play, him imo. Monday night players are always great though.

Team 1 wims imo. I like LeShoure more than Morris. Morris isn't even a good player....his game wasn't impressive (poor YPC) and only he was relevant only because he got an obscene number of carries. Couple that with Shanny being fantasy's satan and I'll gamble with LeShoure breaking out because Kevin Smith more or less sucks.

Boldin vs V-Jax is tougher, but I just go with the talent of V-Jax here couple with me liking the Bucs to be sneaky good this year. I think Flacco will break out though and Boldin is kind of the #1, so this is a tough call.

It's a close trade, I just like the players on team 1 better.

vikes_28 · 09-16-2012, 10:03 AM

Who should I start for my flex position...normally this would be filled by Pierre Garcon, but i don't think he is going to go today..

McGahe
S. Holmes
Manningham
Lafell

Willis. He should get his. Post matchups for future questions though.

Bert Macklin · 09-16-2012, 10:10 AM

**** Malcolm Floyd or Stephen Hill?

PPR league other WR is Bowe with McCluster in flex.

BaLLiN · 09-16-2012, 10:14 AM

still not sure what i want to do at QB:

Vick vs BAL
Luck vs MIN
A.Smith vs DET

and i have demarco murray against SEA, i was thinking of putting martin in at RB instead and then putting lance moore in my flex. its 7 rec yds = 1 pt 10 rush=1 pt

Bert Macklin · 09-16-2012, 10:14 AM

Thanks I'll give hill one more week to prove he can put up startable numbers.

I'd roll with Luck TBH. Smith is a game manager and Vick is well Vick.

You drafted Vick assuming he would be a beast when not injured. Don't bail after week 1, even if the matchup is brutal.

That scoring wrinkle is interesting, but I still don't see how you sit Murray or Martin, again, even with the tough matchup.

floyd is going against tennessee right? Hill is going against Pittsburgh. I would personally be tempted with Hill too, but he is very inconsistent and although he has very good raw ability, i think id take floyd just based on the fact that the chargers should pass more and their QB is better and going to target floyd more than i think sanchez will target Hill.

Im leaning toward Luck bc he will actually be throwing the ball. I just don't like going against baltimore D. Vick struggled against the Browns bc that line couldnt hold up even with two TE sets, which gave him two options to throw to really.

My problem with smith is that he might not even have to throw

Rob S · 09-16-2012, 10:31 AM

Obviously don't go Alex Smith. It's Luck or Vick and I think Vick could have a **** you game. I could totally see going Luck though.

You named all my points and concerns.

A Perfect Score · 09-16-2012, 10:32 AM

Pick 2

Joe Flacco vs Philly
Jake Locker vs SD
Frank Gore vs Det
Alfred Morris vs STL
