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

He will have your respect by the end of the season.

 

[St. Francisco]

Boldin

That's who I currently have starting...what gives me pause is the fact that Rice has three TD catches in the last four games, and Boldin's only TD catch of the season came in week one. But he does put up good points, and he has a far more favorable match-up.

I'd say that Freeman has gone from a bottom 10 QB to around #15 over the past few weeks. Still nowhere close to Drew Brees though.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

Nate Washington or Kendall Wright

Shonn Greene or Marcel Reece

I'd say that Freeman has gone from a bottom 10 QB to around #15 over the past few weeks. Still nowhere close to Drew Brees though.

Just goes to show you what having a bonafied #1, a decent run game and being utilized in the right system gets you. Our other bumass coordinator tried to make him into a game manager, he will never be that. He is a big arm QB who will let it rip, you have to take the good with the bad. Has been far more good than bad these past 4 weeks, avg over 300 a game and has a 11-1 TD/Int ratio. They opened up the playbook and has went shotgun spread early in the games after our bye week and it has paid off. The pass has opened up the run just as much as the run has opened up the pass.

All that said, he still killing it in fantasy and has outperformed Brees these past few weeks. Im tempted to start his ass this week but my opponent has Colston and Graham so I think Im gonna stay with Brees.

 

[Price]

Starting the Colt's defense turned out great! Got me 20 points.

 

[jms493]

I'd go with Jennings primarily because the Panthers are pretty good against the run, and the Colts are not.

fuck you

I am the walking fucking wounded with my RB's. Jones-Drew and Mendenhall are hurt and Morris is on a bye this week. So, I am stuck trying to decide between this group of guys:

- Jonathan Dwyer; I would start, but, if the Steelers "Feed the hot-hand" then I don't want to waste a starting spot on him this week.

- Steven Jackson; Going against a tough 49ers D...and losing carries to Richardson...just don't see the value here

- Chris Ivory; Finally got some touches last week and looks to be the best RB of the bunch, but, it's hard to gauge which RB will be getting touches in the Saints O

- Shane Vereen; Same song and dance as above. Ridley is the man in NE, but, the other backs still get touches and in a potential blowout, I figure Vereen may get some additional carries.

Right now, my starting lineup (12-man league) is this:

QB:
Brees

WR:
Colston
Roddy White

RB:
Dwyer
Vereen

TE
Allen

Flex
Decker

K
Gould

Def
Atlanta D

 

[G-men]

Calvin Johnson
Vincent Jackson
Wes Welker

Which two do I play?

 

[whuteva]

brandon lloyd or dwayne bowe? i'm leaning bowe but his qb situation is deplorable.

 

[mcstl25]

3rd wide receiver spot, PPR league:

Sidney Rice vs. N.Y. Jets (15 proj. pts.) or Anquan Boldin vs. Oakland (18 proj. pts.)?

Tough one. I'd go with Boldin as I expect this to be a high scoring game.

Nate Washington or Kendall Wright

Shonn Greene or Marcel Reece

I hate having to pick between Titan receivers because I think all three are pretty equal. Washington seems to put up consistent numbers most weeks, so I'm rolling with him.

For the second pick, I'd go with Shonn Greene. It's still unclear who is going to get the majority of the touches in Oakland between Reece and Taiwan Jones. Greene is going up against a much tougher defense, but we know that Greene is going to get most of the carries. For that reason I'm picking Greene.

Man, that is an ugly RB situation. I think that you still have to roll with Steven Jackson with that bunch. He's the only guy in that group that is the true starter, even though it's more of a time share situation. Just gotta hope that Jackson is able to steal a TD because the yards probably won't be there. I would go with Dwyer with the second running back slot. I don't feel really good about it, but there is just too much uncertainty with Ivory and Vereen. There's no reason to expect that either of them will get more than 10 touches. Since Pittsburgh is going against the Chiefs, who may be one of the worst teams ever, Dwyer should get his touches.

Calvin Johnson
Vincent Jackson
Wes Welker

Which two do I play?

Very tough. All three are projected to be top 10 receivers this week. My gut is telling me that Vincent Jackson is going to want to play with a chip on his shoulder this week playing against his old team, but I just can't start him over Calvin or Welker. Jackson is just too hit or miss, he could end up with 1 catch or 10. Whereas Welker and Calvin almost always get their catches.

brandon lloyd or dwayne bowe? i'm leaning bowe but his qb situation is deplorable.

I agree, go with Bowe. His QB is horrible, but he's still a top talent. Lloyd has been banged up lately and is only averaging three catches per game in the last five games.

 

[Price]

I think Welker will get more looks since Hernandez is not expected to play.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

Well I went against both of your choices and am rolling right now 140ish-50ish.

 

[St. Francisco]

Just gotta recap this beautiful fucking action:

Starter: Anquan Boldin - 7 points. 4 catches for 38 yards. The Ravens led the motherfucking league with 55 points this week.

BENCH PLAYERS

Darrius Heyward-Bey - 22 points. 5 catches for 82 yards and a TD.

Sidney Rice - 19 points. 2 catches for 54 yards and two TDs.

Titus Young - 13 points. 4 catches for 35 yards and a TD.

Go FUCK yourself, Anquan.

It's all good I suppose, I've already won and I still have two left to play. Still, it pisses me off.

Week 10 was brutal. Sorry for the horrible picks. I guess this is why I don't have any questions for week 11...lol.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

Here's one.

Anquan Boldin or Torrey Smith.
