Ok, i will list my running backs and wide receivers, i have 2 RB spots, 2 WR spots and 1 flex. RB - Brandon Jacobs, Joe Addai, Darren McFadden, Larry Johnson, Ahmad Bradshaw. WR - Marques Colston, Steve Smith (car), Dwayne Bowe, Brandon Marshall, Josh Cribbs, Lance Moore picked up off of waivers, dropped Steve Breaston. I have Jacobs and Addai starting at running back. I am lost on this one, i really want to keep both of these guys in, but Bradshaw is getting alot of touches in NY. I have Cribbs and Smith at WR, and McFadden at Flex. Reason i have Cribbs is for his return yards, he scored me 29 points last week. McFadden i have against KC because i think he is going to wreck them, and he has always torched us, KC starts 2 LSU guys. I cant keep Steve Smith out of the lineup. Oh i am also going with Brees vs. Philly, Dustin Keller at Tight End vs. New England, and the Saints D against a Donovan-less Eagles team. WWYD?
How many teams in your league? That is one deep team which makes these decisions even more difficult. I wouldn't consider Bradshaw as one of your starting RBs and I agree McFadden should have a good game against that defense. You have to start Jacobs over Bradshaw in almost all situations even though Bradshaw could out do him a few times this season. Jacobs will get a huge majority of the TD/Redzone carries. And I wouldn't want him at flex either because if by chance the run game gets shut down, both RBs will hurt your team. So I like where you have the RB now but Colston could out perform McFadden in total points and should at least start at WR IMO. Who is going to get Smith the ball? Delhomme is sinking and had 5 or so turnovers last week. I wouldn't take that chance. I would start Colston and Cribbs (I will take your word on that since I have never dealt with return yards before in Fantasy.) For the record I would start Marshall and maybe Bowe over Smith this week as well. My Flex Rankings: 1. Colston/McFadden (Toss up) 3.Marshall 4. Bowe/Smith (Toss up) Brees is a no brainer all season along with Keller. Who is your other D? I do like the points the Saints are gaining from turnovers this year so far.
right now i dont have another D, i was going to drop the saints and pick up oakland based on their performance against san diego, but now that Donavan is out, i think i am going to stick with the saints. There are 12 teams in my league, but i play with alot of Dallas and Steelers homers, and a few people who must not know alot about football. My problem with Colston other than the drops, was the fact that they were playing the Eagles D. Good advice though, thanks!
i would play: jacobs, addai, mcfadden colston, smith although bowe is enticing in the flex with cassel back and the raiders traveling after a short week. the rest is good to go though id likely swap defenses if i had another. then again, its kevin kolb. nevermind.
I would stick with the Saints for now and see if the Oakland defense is for real first. The Saints do have a pretty rough schedule this year though.
i was going to drop them or use some of my bench as trade fodder to get a better one, but i kept them because of the Kolb starting thing. Thats how i usually play my defense, if i dont get a top 5 defense in the draft, i just pick em up and drop week to week.
