Castle's Weekly Start-em / Sit-em Thread

[Obst]

Jermichael Finley vs SF or Jared Cook vs NE

[mcstl25]

Adrian Peterson (vsJAC) or Dexter McCluster (vsATL)

I really don't think that Peterson will play much if at all this week. Not making an official prediction here as it's too early in the week, but McCluster may be the better option.

Darius Heyward Bey (vs SD) or Stevie Johnson (vs NYJ)

Leaning DHB because I fear Johnson will be stuck on Revis Island all night...

I agree, go with DHB. I think both receivers will end up with comparable numbers by year end, but Johnson will be smothered by Revis.

Two players already mentioned, but here goes:

Adrian Peterson(vs. Jac) or Beanie Wells (vs. Sea)

Justin Blackmon (vs. Min) or Denarius Moore (vs. SD) ICK

Blackmon is the pick here. Moore is hampered by a hamstring injury, which really hurts a speed guy like Moore.

Jermichael Finley vs SF or Jared Cook vs NE

Risky, but I'm picking Cook. Finley is a man-child, but just can't seem to get the looks from Rodgers.

[Villain]

Go with Crabtree. I like Thomas a lot this year if Manning stays healthy, but I could see SF getting in to a shootout with GB.

Exactly what I was thinking.

P. Manning (vs Pit) or J. Cutler (vs Ind)???

I'd go with Peyton. I don't think that Peyton will return to "elite" QB status this year, but if healthy he'll be top 10. I've never liked Cutler as a fantasy QB because he is too inconsistent. Puts up great numbers one week, then nothing the next.

I pronounce your name as McSteel, so fuck you.

Oh, come on. Like anyone saw that coming. Peterson isn't human to have a game like that eight months out of ACL surgery.

Like I advised in the other thread, don't break up that great RB group you have, you can play three every week, and will need that depth later. Your WR's are fine, especially since it's a full PPR league, so a guy like Amendola has much higher value and is right below elite since he will flirt with 100 catches & 6 TD's.

Bowe, Amendola, Wayne/Moore/Lafell is a good enough group considering the RB's you have, especially since your flex will always come from the RB's. Keep working the wire for WR's, don't trade any of those RB's m'fer, especially for Lloyd who is more of a big YPC guy and less valuable in a full PPR.
