Week 1 Who to Start

Eli and it's not close.

Collins has been in that Colts offense for all of a couple weeks. I would guess they're probably using about 60-70% of their total playbook with him right now. My assumption is that they're going to TRY to run the ball and use a short controlled passing game.

Definitely Colston.

I think we've discussed that we both like Little, but I don't think you can start him yet. Actually, don't think he's even starting for the Browns lol. I expect he's involved in the offense within a few weeks though.

I would lean towards Maclin right now. Of course it's a concern he's missed so much of the preseason but he's easily the best of the group right now. Just monitor the Eagles practice the rest of the week. If I see anything important pertaining to Maclin, I'll let you know.

Hey there i just had a few questions this is my line up in a 12 man league after my draft yesterday. It is also my frist time ever playing fantasy ball so i was just wonder if there are guys on my team i should be looking to get rid of or trade, aswell as start, im pretty sure i got m starters figured out, but im worried about guys like dez bryant and santonioo holmes?? anyone have any advice for me it would be appreciated thanks!!

QB- Tony romo
WR-calvin johnson, Dez bryant, Santonio Holmes
RB-jamal charles, shon greene
TE-Dallas clark

Bench
QB- Cam newton
WR-Jacoby Ford, Robert Meachem, Nate burlesen
RB- Benjarvus Green ellis, Roy Helu

Not sure how many teams in your league but I think it looks pretty decent for your first time.

My first thought would be that you could use better depth at RB. In a 3WR & 2RB league I would probably take a 3rd (backup) RB before I took a 3rd (starting) WR. I think you can find WRs late in the draft and off of free agency after the first couple weeks.

Cam Newton has no business on fantasy rosters right now. What other QBs are available?

Don't worry about Bryant or Holmes, especially Bryant. You should be able to lock them in as starters for the season.

If you wanted you could drop Meachem for Little. Both guys have some potential but Meachem's disappointed so many times that I might take a chance on Little.

Good thread bro         

  QB- P.Manning(hurt) / Matt Cassell ( say's he will play)

   standard-

 who should I start ?

NOTE ****  No ADD/Drops in my league until week 2         

I dont like Green Ellis at all this this year. If I could trade him & worthless Newton for Hightower I'd do it instantly.

Among those QBs you mentioned Campbell and Hasselbeck are your best options. Slight lean to Campbell.

Stevie Johnson is your 2nd best WR and it's not close in my book.

In standard leagues I prefer RBs at my flex spots. I'd use Grant & Thomas in that flex and at RB. Unfortunately, both are in what should be even time shares.

It does sounds like Cassel will play.
With no transactions, that'd really suck if you didn't have a QB to play week 1.

This one is so close in my book. Earlier in this thread I suggested Greene to someone in the exact same boat, but go with your gut though. If you're feeling Marshall then start him!

For a 14 teamer this is alright. You shouldn't feel terrible about.

I'm a RB guy and can't take anyone in the first that doesn't carry the ball, but I can't fault Andre Johnson.
Jones or Blount could easily end up a RB1 though.
Ingram's a RB2 in that league so he's really strong as your 3rd back.

Boss will probably catch his most passes ever this year but I'm still curious what all other TEs are available. I'm sure guys like Cook, Kendricks, and Gresham are gone but what about Ed Dickson or Julius Thomas? Think I'd rather take a chance on one of those guys as my backup compared to Boss.

You're right on going with Stafford. Going to be a super tough atmosphere for Romo and the Boys on Sunday night.

Like your thinking on Foster as well, but not sure I'm prepared to recommend Wells or Moreno yet. I'd wait on this decision until Friday to see if any other news on Foster is released. If I hear anything I'll definitely let you know.
If you do decide to sit him though, I'd go Wells over Moreno since we know we'll be seeing McGahee in GL & short yardage.

Foster was quoted earlier as saying "I don't know" when asked if he was playing week 1. Tate, Ward, & Slaton split reps in today's practice. I would say you're right and are better off sitting him.

Nice options to have.
I would think Wells or Williams are your best options.
Just so happens that they're playing each other. I like the Cardinals to win that matchup and can see them jumping to an early lead. I really think if they go up a couple scores they'll take the air out of the ball since it's unlikely Newton can lead the Panthers back. So for that reason I'd go with Wells but it's definitely a toss up.

I have one from my PPR & Return Yards league that I need help with. Full pt PPR. Also get 1pt for every 20 kick return yards, that is if kick returns still exist. 1pt for every 10 punt return yards

Need to play 4:
Marshall
Harvin
S. Johnson
Moss
Bess
Bennett

Right now I'm going with Marshall, Harvin, S. Johnson, & Bess.
Did read earlier that Harvin could lose his return duties to Lorenzo Booker.
Bess is at least the punt returner. Might return kicks as well.

Also:
Standard League
Starting Fitz. Need to start 1 of the 3 between:
Julio Jones
Nate Burleson
Lee Evans

Have Julio in right now.
