Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) This is a "make it or break it" week for me, as another loss completely knocks me out of playoff contention. Please offer your opinion as to how I should set my line-up. QB: RB: RB: RB/WR: WR: WR: TE: QB's: Nick Foles (@GB), Tony Romo (@NO) RB's: Knowshon Moreno (@SD), Mike James (MIA), Giovani Bernard (@BAL), Steven Jackson (SEA), & Ben Tate (ARI). WR's: Brandon Marshall (DET), TY Hilton (STL), Marvin Jones (@BAL), Percy Harvin (OUT). TE's: Julius Thomas (@SD), Timothy Wright (MIA). I guess I am concerned about the health of Bernard and Julius Thomas the most. Nick Foles is a tempting start this week, as Romo will be facing that tough NO secondary. Moreno is pretty much a no-brainer, but I am up in the air about the others. I guess I value James, Tate, and Bernard (in that order) over Jackson. WR's are pretty much set with Marshall and Hilton, but I'm wondering if anyone thinks Marvin Jones is worth a flex start over any of the RB's. Standard scoring league. Please just quote my post and fill in the blanks. I'm really interested to hear your opinions/rationals. While I will ultimately take ownership over my own starting line-up, I value the FF acumen on this board. Have at it!!

Matt in KC Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I didn't see this in time to help, but the first ones listed in each category look best to me (Foles, Knowshon, james, Marshall, Hilton, J. Thomas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas) I ended up starting everyone you listed. With the exception of Foles. I thought that DAL-NO game would be a track meet with both QB's putting up gaudy #'s. Oh well, Romo gets me again, but I still am going to win by 30 or 40 points this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a strong line up. I'm starting James tonight and just need him to get 5 points for me to win and put me in good shape to make the playoffs. Edit: Oh craaaap!

So, did you tie your match up with his 4 points? If you're looking for a RB replacement, I've been hearing that Bobby Rainey could take over lead back responsibilities in TB. I'm watching how practice rep's shake out this week before I make any moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for a RB replacement, I've been hearing that Bobby Rainey could take over lead back responsibilities in TB. I'm watching how practice rep's shake out this week before I make any moves. I lost by 1.1 points. I can't believe James broke his leg 6 inches from the end zone when he was running so well. . . . And he was starting for me because I lost Arian Foster last week. Now I'm left with: Matt Forte* (starting) Chris Ivory* (starting) Shonne Green Donald Brown James Starks Also available: Mike Tolbert, who I don't expect much from given the reintroduction of Jonathan Stewart to the Panthers I had Mike James too. So, did you tie your match up with his 4 points? If you're looking for a RB replacement, I've been hearing that Bobby Rainey could take over lead back responsibilities in TB. I'm watching how practice rep's shake out this week before I make any moves. I don't know if Rainey is really going to get it done. I'm on the fence about picking up Brian Leonard, who I put in a claim for, but got Donald Brown as a higher selection. I just don't think Trent Richardson (3 yds/attempt) is going to stay the lead back over Brown (5.9 yds/attempt). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
