You nailed it. Week 1 start your studs..... and you're right to bench Favre for this week as well. He obviously hasn't practiced a whole lot yet and lost a lot of weapons. Just like last year it'll take him a couple of weeks to get his game legs.

There seems to be a huge divide when it comes to Arian Foster around these parts. Either you love him or you hate him. Right now I'm not buying into him. The good news for you is that you have quite a few other options. For this week I would go with Best. The Bears D is not the same as it was in past years, Kevin Smith has come out and said that he doesn't trust his knee meaning Best will get nearly all the work, you get ppr, and Best is really good.

Spoles @ KC
Moreno @ Jac
Dez @ Washington
Harrison @ TB
Cribbs @ TB
Gafney @ Jac

Moreno should be starting so he'd be your flex. I think I'd go with Gafney for your WR this week. Dez hasn't played at all and while I'm very high on Cribbs I want to know more about his role in the offense. Gafney should be a nice safe choice for you

Good luck

Here is a little different question for the Doctor.

Im drafting out of the 16 hole Oh My tomorrow, what position/player would you target in the 1st and 2nd round.

PPR IDP, this league also gets kick/punt return points.

I would go WR/RB. Drafting 16th means you have a huge wait for your picks to come back around to you and the dropoff will be massive.

I would look to land a RB such as Shonn Greene, Rashard Mendenhall and D/Will (in that order) and a WR such as Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson or Roddy White in that order.

(I'm assuming that this is a 16 team serpentine draft)

2nd Team - thoughts on lineup

Ok, drafted my 2nd team (12 team NoN PPR)
(6 pts all TD - 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (WR or TE), 1 K, 1 D/ST)

BOLD are current lineup settings for week 1

QB - Matt Ryan, Alex Smith
RB - Jahvid Best, Ahmad Bradshaw, Matt Forte, Leon Washington, Chester Taylor
WR- Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Greg Jennings, D. Driver, J. Gaffney, M.Williams (Sea)
K - Rackers
DEF - Eagles

Decisions, Decisions
________________________
QB- Ryan looks the choice here.
RB Dilemma - do I roll with Best, Bradshaw, or Forte? (need 2)
WR - no issues here...as QB's flew off the board I was happy to load up at receiver

Thanks in advance.

I like Best over Bradshaw for reasons stated in another question. Great WR corp btw.

Good luck

I'll take Greene at home on MNF. Should get a ton of carries.

Smith and Nicks. I've said it a couple of times before, but thjis early on in the season its going to be very hard to give a lower ranked player the nudge over a higher one based on matchups because well... preseason doesn't mean crap. Start your studs early on until we can see some trends starting to form.

Which QB? 1pt per 20 yards passing, 4pts per pass TD, no negatives for turnovers

Kevin Kolb vs GB
Brett Favre @ NO

I like Kolb. It took Brett a few games last year to start putting up solid numbers and think it will be the same this year. The Packers will probably put up a ton of pts against Philly which will keep Kolb throwing until the end of the game. I look for Minnesota to try and run, run, run and keep the ball away from Drew Brees and Co.

This is a tough one... I've been stressing start your studs this week because matchups should be thrown out the window at the start of every NFL season.

But... I'm just getting the feeling that with Hardesty out for the year Jerome Harrison is going to get a shot at the 30 carries he'll need to put up the monster numbers he did at the end of last year. Add to that the Bucs were dead last in rush defense last year and the Ravens were #5. I don't see the Bucs D as being improved enough to warrant Greene over Harrison.

Heath should get a ton of targets while Ben is out and is a good start this week.

I like Floyd a lot this year and think KC secondary is not as good as Seattle's. Rivers over Smith is the edge for me this week.

Good luck

 

[RZR]

Doctor,

Generally speaking, what's your take on the these guys heading into week 1:

Derrick Mason
Devin Aromashodu
Jabar Gaffney
Pierre Garcon
Ahmad Bradshaw
Cedric Benson
Huggins

 

[SchultzAndy]

Hey Chris good to see you back.

A couple of questions here for week 1, both leagues are non-ppr with 1 pt for 20 yds:

1. Knox vs DET or Maclin vs GB
2. Burleson vs CHI, Gaffney vs JAX, or Roy Williams vs WASH

Only need one for each league.

Thank you!

 

[Sizzo]

Hey Chris,

who should i start?

Romo @ Was or Palmer @ NE
Floyd @ KC or Maclin vs GB?
Meachem vs MIN or Burleson @ CHI

Thanks

 

[wisfinfan05]

Hey Chris,

You did me well the last two season, so no reason not to ask for your advice again this season. Keep up the good work.

Two dilemas.

Standard scoring no PPR.

RB (Pick two):

Brandon Jacobs vs Panthers
Clinton Portis vs Cowboys
Jo Addai @ Texans
Caddilac Williams vs Browns

WR (Pick One):

TJ Housh @ Jets
Mario Manningham vs Panthers
Mohamed Massaquoi @ Buccs

 

[realmwalker]

D/ST question

This is for my other team (the one not in my signature)
Both games are at my D/ST's home...I have both Chicago and Philly D/ST's


Chicago vs. Det

Philly vs. GB

One caveat, we have slightly elevated Defensive Scoring..

Sack = 1
Fumble Recover = 3
Interception = 3
All TDs = 6

Allow 0 pts = 12
Allow 1-6 pts = 10
Allow 7-13 = 8
Allow 14 - 20 = 4
Allow 21 - 27 = 0
Allow 28 - 34 = -4
Allow 35+ = -8




Which one is key play?
I think Philly can get to Rodgers for sacks, but since we have slightly elevated scoring I am worried about a shootout in Philly...so I am thinking of going with Chicago at home versus Detroit...but then again that could be a shootout..

Thoughts?
