Fantasy Football: Sit or Start

  • ZombieKiller
    I'm in the championship game and I can win $5,000. I'm really torn on who to start at Tight End and Defense.

    I'm going against a tough matchup this weekend. He has Brees, Colston, Jennings, Barber, Gore, Tony Gonzalez, and Miles Austin.

    Here is my team
    QB- Kurt Warner
    WR- Larry Fitzgerald
    WR- Brandon Marshall
    WR/TE- Vincent Jackson
    RB- Maurice Jones-Drew
    RB- Brandon Jacobs
    TE- Dallas Clark
    K- Mason Crosby
    DEF- Minnesota

    At TE I can go either with Clark or Jermichael Finley. Defense, I can go either with Minnesota against Chicago or San Francisco against Detroit. So I have no idea who I should really go with.

    Should I start Beanie Wells against St.Louis over Brandon Jacobs against Carolina?

    So if you have some good suggestions, please let me know.

    TE-Finley
    Defense-without a doubt go San Fran
    RB-Beanie Wells

    TE I would go with Clark he has been on fire.
    Def definitely go with San Fran vs TB rookie qb.
    I sat Jacobs this week as well and went with Moreno.
  • wes_mantooth
    Espn people are thinking that Finley will have a huge day today, but it would be tough to bench Clark. They also said Beanie was a must play.
  • hasbeen
    Clark
    San Fran
    Beanie

    Finley is hit or miss
    Always play against the Lions
    Jacobs is a disappointment
  • justincredible
    You have to start Clark. He should be getting plenty of passes with Revis likely taking Reggie Wayne out of the equation. I'd go with San Fran's defense. They should have a field day against the Lions.

    should i start eli or kurt

    either or but i'd go Eli b/c of Kurts likely-hood to hand off in a blow out.
  • killer_ewok
    I benched Reggie Wayne vs. Jets/Revis and am starting Josh Morgan vs. the Lions. Dumb or okay move?

    dumb, you forgot that the quarterback throwing to him is the best in the NFL

    Yeah but Detroit's defense sucks and Alex Smith is projected to have a big day. Wayne is going against arguably best cover corner in the league in Darrelle Revis and it's not sure how long the Indy offensive stars play today (including the best QB in the NFL).

    I wouldn't play Jacobs again until next season.

    I drafted him in a lot of leagues, and found myself upset and benched him about 5 weeks ago.
  • ZombieKiller
    Yahoo sports was screwing up and it never accept my benching of Jacobs. Yes, he was in my lineup and I will never have him on my team again. So far I am winning 75-60. I have Warner, Fitzgerald, Marshall, and Clark going. He only has Gore going and Austin, Dallas D, and Barber going tonight. Even if I am losing by a small amount, I'm pretty sure Minnesota will pull me through.
  • DaBrowns41
    It's ok. Beanie Wells just scoring a pointless TD just lost me the Championship in my keeper league.

    I was up 102-57 at one point and Clark, Beanie, Marshall, and Clark got him to 102.

    It's 102-102 and he still has those guys playing.

    FML.

    It's ok, I guess because I still have 2 other leagues that I'm playing for the championship in.
  • ZombieKiller
    I'm hoping for at least 1 touchdown by Brandon Marshall. That would put me up 21. Meaning Barber and Austin need to have huge games for my opponent.
  • ZombieKiller
    So I'm down by 22 points going into tomorrow's game. Minnesota's defense starts off with 10 points, so I need a lot of help.

    SCREW YOU BRANDON JACOBS...1 yard! How can you get 1 yard and thats it?
  • DaBrowns41
    Wow. So did I ever get lucky. Unless there's a stat change, I'll split one of my leagues at 102-102 after I was sure that Beanie Well's TD effed me over.
