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

[x0xHumblex0x]

Flex position, PPR league: Mark Ingram vs. Kansas City, or Ben Tate @ Denver?

Tatee

Trust Jammal Charles bounces back against New Orleans or start Mark Ingram?

Jamaal

Steve Smith (vs NYG) or Peterson (vs SF)?

.5 ppr league

a little perhaps but maybe not; Peterson

 

[mcstl25]

If it's PPR Sproles should be a no brainer. I've got him on my team and he has been excellent despite not having a single rush attempt.



Pick one for .5 PPR: Kendall Wright v. DET, Torrey Smith v. NE, Donnnie Avery v. JAC

I'm personally leaning towards Wright because of that wretched Detroit secondary.

I think Torrey Smith finally breaks out this week against a suspect NE defense. He's my pick here.

Trust Jammal Charles bounces back against New Orleans or start Mark Ingram?

Go with Jamaal Charles. I think he breaks out this week against a horrible Saints defense. Ingram is in a very crowded backfield and splits carries with Thomas.

Flex position, PPR league: Mark Ingram vs. Kansas City, or Ben Tate @ Denver?

Ingram over Tate. Even though Ingram is in a crowded backfield he still splits time. Tate is more of a backup who gets carries when the Texans are up big. If the Texans end up getting a big lead early, Tate will probably outscore Ingram. However, if the game is close or if the Texans are losing, Tate will probably get less than 10 touches.

 

[mcstl25]

Ryan Mathews (vsATL) or Darren Sproles (vsKC)

This is a really tough one to predict. If you're in a full point PPR, I'd go with Sproles. Anything else, I'd roll the dice with Mathews. It's hard to predict what Mathews will do since he's missed the first two weeks, but all signs are pointing to him getting most of the backfield carries this week. My official pick here is Mathews as I think he'll do better in my make-shift scoring system. Keep an eye on the injury report in case Mathews has any setbacks.

 

[JBregz]

Need to start two RBs this week. Staring 0-3 in the face.

Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Cedric Benson (v seattle) or Dexter Mccluster (vs Saints)

I also have a flex spot

 

[Blade]

I got Peyton vs the #1 defense in Houston, Flacco vs the Pats, a Top 10 Defense and Weeden vs Buffalo who rank towards the bottom of the league in Defense.

Should I spot start Weeden this week?

 

[Berowsk]

I have a trade on the table.

I give up:
Steve Ridley
Desean Jackson

I receive:
Adrian Peterson

My roster currently looks like this.

I'm very deep, so what I plan on doing is trading for a star flex by week 6. Once Forte gets back, I'm comfortable with Rice/Forte/Murray as my RB/RB/Flex with Murray sharing time with Britt in that position. Green and Jones (if/when healthy) will have my usual WR spots locked up. So I guess my ultimate question is, who will hold more value by week 6, Adrian Peterson or Ridley/Jackson?

 

[red33]

is tht an 8 team LG?

either way I would, in a heartbeat. NE is going to be passing a lot and I think people forget NE uses all their RBs so much, truly a committee.

 

[kmanharris]

Now that I started Smith for the week.

Peterson vs San Fran or Decker vs Houston.

 

[mcstl25]

Josh - I'd go with Jamaal Charles for sure. The other three are very close. I'd probably stick with CJ for one more week to see if he breaks out.

Blade - Of those three option, I'm going with Flacco. Manning didn't look great last week and is going up against a really good defense. Weeden is still a question mark.

Berkwski - I like your thinking, but you don't have much receiver depth. I'm not making that deal. I like Ridley this year.

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

I want to draft in your league...

 

[ThomasTomasz]

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.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

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?

 

[mcstl25]

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.
