Gates? Ward? TO? Help!!!!

[phenla]

Hey, I am stumped at WR/TE and Optional slot.

Antonio Gates SD plays at Oak.

Hines Ward Pit home against Ten.

I have Gates starting along with R Moss (no brainer), and T Owens. I was also tempeted to bench Owens, Buf plays NE, but still have him at optional slot.

****Any thoughts on any starting position obviously welcome as well.*****

Scoring is listed at the bottom.

Here is my full team with current starters:

I would start Gates over Ward this week, playing Oakland's defense is basically free points.

What about Ward over TO? Is TO a better choice?

 

[Skedar120]

Tough call. I think TO has a better opportunity to get some points even though he's coming off the turf toe, but Ward is still proven to get the job done.

Toss-up, I would say TO, but I'm sure someone is going to disagree with me on that.

I'm a die hard Ward fan but unless TO is hurt I'm not starting Ward over TO.

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

I agree with what is said above. Start Gates and TO.

 

[phenla]

I guess TO is "kind of" hurt. Turf toe kept him out of a lot of preseason games. My dilema is also I do not generally like the TO type of player, smack talk, etc. I hated to even draft him, but I could not pass him up.

Now I am almost afraid not to play him. He is such a consistant fantasy player........

Thanks guys. Solid, quick replys. I think I will like this site. I will also help when I can. I am pretty new to FF.

Again, thanks for the feedback.

Start TO he is a red zone target and BUF will be behind the Pats so they will throw throw and throw some more.
