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

[MrBill]

Pick 2 RB's. I have bolded the ones I have slated to start for me this week. I am leery of Brown after the egg he laid last week but I don't see how Matthews or Bush will give me more than 5-8 points. The upside for Brown, at least in my opinion, is much higher.

Bryce Brown v Bengals
Alfred Morris @ Browns
Ryan Matthews v Panthers
Reggie Bush v Jaguars

Shaub vs Indy @ Home

or

Stafford vs Arizona on the road.

My opponent is starting both Owen Daniels and Andre Johnson.

______________

Knowshown Moreno @ Baltimore

vs

Trent Richardson vs Washington

_____________

Im starting Damarius Thomas for sure. Pick the other 2:

Mike Williams @ New Orleans

Eric Decker @ Baltimore

Kenny Britt vs NYJ

Michael Crabtree @ NE

I'd start Stafford for the simple reason that almost all of Schaub's points are going to go to Daniels/Johnson. You will be likely, assuming it isn't PPR, washing your QBs points against his WR/TE. I'd throw in Stafford, who has been pretty good fantasy wise, and reap the benefits.

Richardson vs Washington.

I have Decker on my team and he truly is hit or miss. I'm saying he hits this week as Denver continues to fight for home field advantage. Then I'd start Mike Williams because Freeman (who I am starting this week) will be throwing a ton to keep up with the Saints offense.

The Jets defense has actually been pretty good and I don't really like Crabtree because he is more of a hit or miss than Decker is.

A win this week puts me in the money. Any suggestions for lineup changes?

[BigBucs]

Britt in that flex spot instead of Bell.

Pick 2/3:

Michael Turner vs. NYG
Bryce Brown vs. CIN (Thursday night game)
David Wilson vs. ATL

Obvious concerns - Turner doesn't do much but he has scored in 4 of the last 5 games. The Giants have a pretty weak run D, I'm guessing that game is a shootout and I think Turner finds the end zone again.

Brown is starting for sure but Cincy has a pretty stingy run D only allowing 76 yards per game on the ground. Philly plays on Thursday night so I need to make the decision ASAP.

Wilson's playing time is completely up in the air because we don't know if Bradshaw will play yet. I think he may. But if he doesn't, I could see a big game from Wilson against Atlanta's 31st ranked run D in YPC (4.9ypc).

Thoughts?

I would go with Wilson and Brown. Even if Bradshaw does start, Wilson will be in a time share situation, just like Turner. I think Turner is out of gas, and Jaquizz continues to get more carries every week. Brown is up against a decent defense, but with the numbers he put up in his first two starts I think you have to start him, even after last week.

The way I look at it, Brown or Wilson could potentially have monster games. I don't see that potential with Turner. Usually I'm a fan of consistency, but with Turner you're basically hoping for a TD run of less than three yards.

I'd play Ridley over Bell, even against SF defense. He has touchdowns in each of his last 6 games, I think he gets another vs SF.

Agree with all this except I'd roll with Crabtree over Williams. I think SF is playing from behind a lot this game and Kapernick is throwing him the ball way more than Smith did.

Reggie Bush v Jaguars

Agree with this. Matthews has been horrible and Bush hasn't received more than 15 carries since week 5. Brown has a ton of upside, gotta start him.

[kmanharris]

Romo or Carson Palmer.

Right now I am leaning toward Palmer but I just have this sick feeling about not trusting my boy.

[BigBucs]

Both are bums but Romo has been less bummy and can have a big day any given Sunday.

[St. Francisco]

Three touchdown grabs for James Jones on my bench, HOLLA! Fuck my life.

Same here. In my one league where I'm in the playoffs Jones was going in my starting lineup if Dez was ruled out, too. Hopefully Dez goes off. Luckily my opponent is doing horrible.

BB, you start Freeman over Brees this week?

[St. Francisco]

BB, you start Freeman over Brees this week?

GOD I hope so.

[Price]

Eli and Reggie Wayne fucked me over. Blair Walsh had 25 points and Mark ingram had 15. Both on my bench.

Speaking of bums.....
