My decisions for the week. Love to hear your thoughts. Post your tough or close ones too.

beanie wells vs carr or shonn green vs Dallas

Mario manningam vs porous washington D or Miles Austin vs Jets/revis

Eric_the_Red · 09-07-2011, 06:29 AM

Not sure how Dallas is vs. RB, but I know Car is terrible, so I say start Wells.

As for the WR, I think I'd start Manningham, but I wouldn't be all that comfortable about it either way.

Boss-Hog · 09-07-2011, 06:37 AM

I have one myself: two have these three have to start (one at WR, one at RB/WR):

RB Reggie Bush vs NE
WR Brandon Marshall vs NE
WR Wes Welker vs. MIA

I think Reggie Bush is the likely start at RB/WR (let me know if you disagree, though), but I see Marshall and Welker, considering this matchup, as very even. Your thoughts?

LoganBuck · 09-07-2011, 07:30 AM

I don't trust Reggie Bush in week 1. I want to see how he is used. I would go Walker and Marshall.

Very valid point...

Eric_the_Red · 09-07-2011, 08:16 AM

I second the Welker/Marshall start.

Thanks guys...

Wells v. Carolina & Manningham v. Washington. Easy calls, IMO.

Agree with both of these.

Start one of the following:

Best vs TB
Tolbert vs Minn
Tate vs. Ind
Hightower vs. NYG

(I hate that I did this with my RB's. I'm going to face this decision every single week).

I went with Tate, but I couldn't really go wrong here. Tolbert scored the most, followed by Tate, then Hightower, then Best. If Foster continues to miss time, I'm going to ride out Tate. Otherwise, it looks like Hightower is going to get a ton of work.

KoryMac5 · 09-07-2011, 03:01 PM

Tolbert is a timeshare, Tate is hoping Foster doesn't play, so I would say those two are out unless Foster is sat before game time. Personally I would go with Best as I think Stafford and the Lions passing attack will open up some lanes for Best.

BuckeyeRed27 · 09-07-2011, 03:07 PM

Start Beanie or Addai?

Who knows what the Colts are going to look like. Wells plays Carolina who is going to be awful. I go Wells.

As for the other questions:
I go Welker and Marshall. If its a PPR league I may put Bush in there instead of Marshall but I don't know what to think of Bush right now.

Best is a starter, right? If he starts I go Best. If Foster is out I go Tate.

Wells vs. Carolina over Greene. I don't think the decision is so easy Austin v Manningham. Austin will have a more difficult match up but Romo will look to him first and foremost. You may out think yourself on this one.

I agree. While I understand that Austin has a tough match up against the Jets secondary, I'd rather take my chances with an elite WR with a bad match up than a mediocre WR with a more favorable match up. JMHO.

Plaxico Burress vs. DAL
Miles Austin vs. NYJ

Plax, Austin and Green -- I have Thomas in both of my fantasy leagues, but I'm not showing him any PT until I get a better handle on who is going to be getting the key carries (1st / 2nd down carries & Goal-to-Go carries) for Miami this year.

Best v. TB -- Bucs run defense was suspect last year, and they're starting a rookie at MLB (Mason Foster) who, while having tremendous upside potential, is still going to make mistakes with calls and filling gaps.

Beanie until you have a handle on what the Colts offense looks like without Manning.
