Week 1: Start 'em or Sit 'em

  • gorocks99
    Fourteen team, two RB, three WR, one flex league ... trying to decide who to start at running back and WR.

    RB:
    Matt Forte vs ATL
    Michael Bush vs DEN
    Tim Hightower vs NYG
    Jahvid Best @ TB
    Roy Helu vs NYG

    I think Forte and Hightower are locked in to start, but will probably start either Michael Bush (vs Denver) or Jahvid Best (vs Tampa) in the flex spot.

    WR:
    Mike Williams vs DET
    Lee Evans vs PIT
    Jordy Nelson vs NO
    Sims-Walker vs PHI
    Little vs CIN
    Benn vs DET

    Here I've only locked in Williams but am leaning toward Evans and Nelson for the other two spots. My WR group is a dumpster fire unless Sims-Walker can show some more rapport with Bradford.

    What say you, OC?

    Id put in Best. For a flex spot, I like the guys that can just explode. Best showed last year he is easily capable of it.

    I agree start Best at the flex spot and I like MSW and Evans to start at WR.

    Start'em or Sit'em... 10-team league. 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR. Here is my current starting line-up:

    RB - LeSean McCoy
    RB - Maurice Jones-Drew
    WR - Reggie Wayne
    WR - Mario Manningham
    RB/WR - Matt Forte

    Bench:
    RB - Ryan Matthews, Tashard Choice
    WR - Marques Colston, Pierre Garcon

    Would you change my starting line up at all? Please explain.
