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

12 team, 500$ prize. I just make things work.

I want to draft in your league...

Matt Schaub at Denver or Tony Romo home against Tampa Bay? I also have Andre Johnson in my starting lineup, as I know people take that into consideration.

Also in the same league, should I hold Ryan Matthews out of the game? My starting RBs are Charles and MJD, WRs are Calvin Johnson and Brandon Lloyd, and the WR/RB Flex spots are Andre Johnson and Amendola. Thinking that since his touches could be limited, might be best to see how he does. And yes, the league is 8 teams

I think Romo will put up Week 1 numbers again this week, so I definitely think you should go with him. Although Ryan put up great numbers against the Broncos last week, I honestly think his knowledge of Tracy Porter played a huge part in his stats.

Amendola will continue putting up huge numbers because I feel Bradford feels most comfortable with him catching the ball. I think the lineup at flex you have right now will put up the best numbers this week.

Just my two cents though, not trying to hijack this thread.

I did not start Romo, went with my gut for Schaub and that paid off. I kept those six the same, and I am approaching 200 points in that league with Lloyd, Dennis Pitta and the Ravens kicker to go.

Great call on Shaub. Definitely felt bad after I saw Romo's performance today.

Kicking off any questions for this week with an interesting decision I have to make:

Aaron Rodgers against New Orleans, or Andy Dalton against Jacksonville?

I've been out of town for the past week -- will update week 3 on Saturday. Keep the start em sit ems coming and I'll keep making my foolish predictions.

[BigBucs]

Shaub vs Ten or Stafford vs Min (both @ home)

[Fappin Raptor]

R. Gronkowski or T. Gonzalez?

[BigBucs]

Never sit Gronk. Gonzalez should be allocated to a flex spot.

We don't carry flex. I've been trying to unload Gonzalez but no one is biting in my league.

Official Week 4 Results:

1. Matthew Stafford 407 over Matt Shaub 318 - Correct
2. Rob Gronkowski 248 over Tony Gonzalez 127 - Correct
3. Ramses Barden 82 over Ben Tate 38 - Push
4. Matthew Stafford 407 over Tony Romo 82 - Correct[/B]
5. Pierre Thomas 36 over Ben Tate 38 - Push

I really hope that nobody played Tony Romo this week. What a debacle. Stafford over Shaub is technically a win using my unorthodox scoring system, however, Stafford and Shaub was probably more of a push in most fantasy leagues. Barden and Thomas were disappointments, but thankfully Ben Tate didn't do anything either. Overall a good week.

Shaub vs Ten or Stafford vs Min (both @ home)

I'd go with Stafford over Shaub. Shaub is a good QB, but the Texans are so run heavy that I just don't see them throwing the ball much this week. Be sure to check the injury report before the game since Stafford is listed as probable. All indications are that he will play though.

R. Gronkowski or T. Gonzalez?

You're starting Gronkowski every week unless you somehow were to have him on the same team as Jimmy Graham. However, Gronk is listed as questionable so be sure to check the injury report before kickoff.

Flex position, PPR league:

Ramses Barden @ Phildalphia on Sunday night, or Ben Tate vs. Tennessee at noon.

Call me crazy, but I'm picking Barden here. Nicks has officially been declared out, and Barden is the guy who gets all the snaps in Nick's absence, not Hixon. Tate has a pretty good matchup, but he's probably only going to get about 10 touches since he's the backup.
