Who Should I Start This Week?

[S.Taylor36]

I am in a 12 team league where you have to start 2 QB's, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 K and 1 Def. The Flex position can only be a RB/WR/TE. My team is as followed:

QB- Matt Hasselbeck
QB- Byron Leftwich
QB- Mark Brunell
RB- Steven Jackson
RB- Chester Taylor
RB- Fred Taylor
RB- Brandon Jacobs
WR- Anquan Boldin
WR- Michael Clayton
WR- Eric Moulds
WR- Kevin Curtis
WR- Sammie Parker
WR- Brandon Stockley
TE- Todd Heap
TE- Jason Witten
K- Jeff Wilkins
Def- Jacksonville

My biggest question is if I should start Brunell over Leftwich and who should be my #3 WR after Boldin & Clayton. Right now I'm leaning towards starting Brunell and Moulds.

Any feedback would be great.

if those are the only 2 questions, i'd go with Moulds and Leftwich. don't let the B&G glasses cloud your decisions.

I think it comes down to how much confidence you have in Brunell, Saunders, and the new offense to do a complete 180. This is why I hate fantasy football (have I said this enough lately?). If you don't start Brunell you must not be confident.... If you do then you run the risk of the "double whammy" (Skins and fantasy team losing bad).

I'd probably go Moulds as the #3 WR, but that is really just a guess.

i don't think it shows no confidence, it just shows that unless there's a change from the norms over the past couple seasons, leftwich is the better QB fantasy-wise.

I agree Leftwich is a better QB fantasy-wise, but Leftwich is going against Dallas' D and weather.com says it's gonna be raining too. I do agree with Moulds however. Damn fantasy, why do I do this to myself every year?

Oh I agree. I should have clarified that the Skins are seemingly going against a better defense and the Jags are going against dallass' D. I hear you should never look at fantasy football that way though and always start the best player...

Either way, I'll be rooting for both QBs this weekend!

Definately start Lundy and I'd go with B. Jacobs b/c he usually gets a few goaline opportunities. I don't think the rest will see much action.

Duece McAllister

Just curious....who do ya think will get more opportunities in Indy, Addai or Rhodes?

Im going to assume you didn't play Chambers.

I'd start Thomas Jones and Caddy (I know he's playing tough D)
Horn and Smith, and Flex Mike Bell


pick 2 rb:

cadillac, portis, T. Jones, Rhodes, McAllister, Duckett

T. Jones and Deuce (Of course if Portis looks likes he's gonna play, Portis over Deuce)

pick 2 rb:

rudi, portis, dillon, lundy, betts

Rudi and Dillon and don't think twice.

i did start chambers, just didn't make it clear...that change it for you at all?

[Keino]

I would've started Chambers as well, and I did in leagues I own him. He dropped a TD pass too.....

Sit Rod Smith down, and play Joe Horn.

[RedskinsDave]

I'd take Cadillac over Duece. I know Baltimore is tough but they do give up long runs, especially on the road. Other than that, I agree with Sean.

that's steve smith...i'm just incompetent in portraying my team this week :)

[Keino]

I don't think Steve Smith is going to play this week. I would be wary of starting him this week.

My biggest question is if I should start Brunell over Leftwich and who should be my #3 WR after Boldin & Clayton. Right now I'm leaning towards starting Brunell and Moulds.

Any feedback would be great.

I would start Brunell, but it's a tough call, week one is so unpredictable. I give the edge to Brunell because of a weaker opponent than the Jags plus with no Portis they may throw a little more.

As for 3rd receiver I would go with Curtis over Moulds. The Rams should put up more offense than the Texans and they are both in a similar position in the offense.

I tell you I might be tempted to start the two awesome TE's, one as the flex player. Of course that's easy for me to say.

[Keino]

The Rams have a new offensive system though. Tough to make that call for week 1. In week 1 you almost have to go talent vs system. I tend to side with talent when talking of a #2 (Fomerly #1 WR) vs a #3 WR.

I would find it real hard to start Curtis over Moulds personally until I saw what Linehan's system was like.
