Shall I start or Shall I sit?

Question

M. Leinart @ San Fran
or
A. Smith vs. Arizona

Also, Flex spot debate.

D. McAllister @ Indy
or
L. Evans vs. Denver
or
D. Branch vs. TB

It is a point per rec. league

Answer 1

Matt Leinart. He's just better and has more weapons. ARI seems to lose to SF quite a bit though but the stats should lean to Leinart.

Normally, you'd go with Deuce. The problem is, he's going to be a little inconsistent this year. On a good game, he'll have 80 yds with at least one TD. On a bad game, he'll have 30 or 40 yds.

Since's it's a PPR league, you have to go with one of your WRs. I'd usually go with Lee Evans, but since he'll probably be covered by Champ, you should go with Deion Branch. He's usually catches 4+ with about 15 yds per so you're looking at 60 yds minimum. If he goes for a TD then he's having a great game along with the PPR.

Answer 2

I think Leinart's the better QB with better weapons and the match-ups are pretty much a wash.

Indy's run defense was suspect until the end of last season. So, who knows which run defense will show up. But, against NO, I think it's going to be a shoot-out (more passing than running).

Denver has one of the best secondaries in the NFL. And, you're pinning Evans' hopes on J.P. Losman's arm (very inconsistent). But, Losman was on Jim Rome Is Burning yesterday (jungle karma). So, that's a plus.

With Branch, you get Seattle's #1 WR against a poor Tampa Bay defense. But, Tampa Bay also has a poor offense. So, Seattle will probably feature more Alexander running than Hasselbeck passing.

It's pretty much a toss-up. But, my gut says to go with the guy who will be in the shoot-out against a potentially poor running defense. I'd start the Deuce.

Answer 3

1. Lienert
2. Duece ( I love the Colts but the Saints RB's are gonna have a field day 2morrow )

Good Luck!
