Fantasy Football: Play 'em or Bench 'em Discussion!

figured it was but I answered anyway D:

Fuck me for playing Dwayne Bowe over Santana Moss -_-


Ok in my pay league we play head coaches. Here's how they are scored:

Team Win 5 Team Loss -5
25+ point Win Margin 5 15-19 point Win Margin 3
10-14 point Win Margin 2 1-4 point Win Margin 1
1-4 point Loss Margin -1 10-14 point Loss Margin -2
15-19 point Loss Margin -3 25+ point Loss Margin -5


I've got the option of Ravens Head Coach (Playing the Cinci), Bills Head Coach (Playing Seattle), or I can leave the spot blank. I'm leaning towards just leaving the spot blank to be honest, I don't see either the Ravens or Bills winning a game this week. What do you guys think?

[Quixon]

Oo forgot this one also....

Ronnie Brown vs. the Jets or Chris Chambers vs. the Panthers In my WR/RB spot. Brown isn't going to start, and Chambers might see some more looks with Gates not to full strength yet.

[Deejay]

I'd go with Chambers personally. Ricky is going to eat up a majority of the goal line carries, but word is Ronnie Brown's been looking a lot better lately.

lol

[Fistandantilus]

For Jammer vs Hobbs I would go with Jammer personally, Hobbs hasn't has had like 0 tackles ever, so I wouldn't really trust him in week 1. Then again, he could easily get a pick since the pats will likely be up so much that the Chiefs will be airing it out, and it isn't like Croyle is that great...

[Tyche]

Noone answered Palmer vs Warner

[Mizango]

I'd go with Warner vs the lol49ers as opposed to Carson Palmer going up against McAllister, Ed Reed , Lewis and that Raven defense to be honest. Bengals may win but they are too nicked up imo to stand stout against that Ravens D.

[Mizango]

Man, Archie has Jeff Garcia up against the Saints. Galloway vs Jason David? Oh lawd, he's about to wreck shop in week one.

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah...I have Garcia, but I'm starting McNabb - is that a terrible mistake? I figured the NO defense is much better than the Rams right? Or is it just that Jason David sucks ballsack?

[Mizango]

Yeah just Jason David lol, he is a human highlight reel, in the bad sense. I like the McNabb pick overall.

[BIGSTIC]

Jamal Lewis(might be injured might be fine) vs. Ricky Williams(sounds like he is getting the start and goal line carries)?

My gut says Williams but everyone else says Lewis.

[Headspace]

I'd rather have Williams than Lewis who plays Dallas, especially if he might be injured.

[Brill Weave]

To me that's a lose/lose situation. Lewis isn't playing at 100% and Williams is going to be seeing his first regular season action in how long? If it was me I would start Lewis if just for the reason that Williams will still end up having carries vultured by Ronnie Brown. And Warner is definitely who I would be using as opposed to Palmer. Even if Baltimore's defense stays on the field all game(since they have a rookie starting at QB) with the big names on that D they will come up with a couple picks.

this is all correct

[Gregorio]

Ok I'm not very happy with my WR and RB core, but I'm debating on what I should do here. Since my only solid WR is Wes Welker, I picked up a bunch of others for my bench hoping one will have a good year. This is my lineup so far, but I'm thinking of making some changes.

RB - Lynch (this one I'm keeping)
RB - Kenny Watson
RB/WR - Bush
WR - Welker (keepin him in)
WR - Burleson

Bench - Coles, Reggie Brown (doubtful for the game), Ginn Jr, Muhammad, Curtis (out for a few weeks but he'll be good once he's back)

I'm debating on if I want to switch Muhammad for Bush, or switch Bush to the RB/WR position and bench Watson for Muhammad, or something else, or even just keep it how it is. Thoughts?

[Daahan]

Lavernaeus Coles is Questionable and I have him as one of my starting WRs. Do you think I should leave him in here or throw in Derrick Mason who I have on my bench.

[Plow]

If it's PPR play Mason no question, if not it's a gamble either way, make the decision at 11am Sunday.

if you are PPR keep bush in your lineup. the guy may not be a stud running back but hes one of the best to have in a PPR league.

[Brill Weave]

Like it was said before Bush is good for PPR leagues. And to be blunt, it doesn't look like you have an abundance of talent at running back. Your wide receivers are pretty thin as well. Hopefully you made up for this by drafting a good QB. If it was me I would probably bench Burleson and start Coles. With Steve Smith out Muhsin is the primary receiver this week which is also something to keep in mind. But he doesn't have the speed that Smith does and the D knows Delhomme's options are going to be limited, so I wouldn't be shocked to see them keying on him. Mason is too risky just based on the fact that Flacco is the starter.

Watson is going to be either feast or famine. Cincy named Perry the starter which is kind of mind boggling considering how well Watson did last year after Rudi Johnson went down. But the plus side is Perry is very injury prone, so it should only be a matter of time before Watson takes over as the number one.
