Who should I start in my Fantasy Football teamat WR? Driver? Houshmandzadeh? Coles or Smith?

Question

I have two WR slots on my team and want to know who I should start. Donald Driver? TJ Houshmandzadeh? Leveraneus Coles? and/or Steve Smith?

Smith seems obvious... but what about the other slot?

Thanks!

In Week One

Answer 1

I would start Smith and Driver...Housh is going to get beat up by the Ravens this week, and to me Coles is just not as reliable as Driver. (I have no facts to back that opinion up, it's just my feeling--if anybody has contrary stats I'd love to see them.).

Answer 2

Steve Smith is a no-brainer.
As for your number two. I would probably go with Housh.
Driver has already been injured. He is playing an Eagles team that is not as strong on D this year as last but is good none-the-less.
Coles and the Jets are playing a New England team that is going to walk all over them. Plus, do you really trust Pennington to get him the ball?
The Bengals are playing the Ravens on a Monday night with one of the best QBs in the league (Carson Palmer) and one of the best WR slotted on the opposite side of the field (Chad Johnson). The Ravens D will spend a lot of time trying to contain both Chad and Rudi Johnson which will leave Housh a little bit of breathing room.
Steve Smith and TJ Whosyourdaddy are a hell of a one-two punch in fantasy football.

Answer 3

Steve Smith. He should ALWAYS start.
Donald Driver. (TJ Houshmandzadeh if he can't go)

Leveraneus Coles will be up against the Patriots secondary and this is a tough matchup.

Donald Drive is a Game Day Decision with his foot injury. He looked healthy when he practiced yesterday, but keep an eye on his status.

TJ Houshmandzadeh will get you more points later in the year, but Baltimore is a tough team to score many points on. On the plus side, Cincy's defense has been so bad that they may have to air the ball out. This will add on the receptions for TJ. If you have a points per reception league, then start TJ.

Answer 4

Definitely Smith and probably Housh.. The Ravens D will be focused on Chad Johnson, so Houshmandzadeh will face single coverage. Coles isn't a bad choice either, but New England is a tough matchup all around.

Answer 5

Housh usually does well against the ravens. Coles is the main man in NY, but the qb position is a lil shaky, Driver will probably play, but we don't know if he's 100%. I'd go with Smith (no doubt- every week) and Housh.

Answer 6

I would start Housh and Steve Smith, since Driver's ankle injury is going to limit him in the opener, and the Jets play NE's tough secondary. Although CIN has a tough matchup with Baltimore. But, I think their pass oriented offense is more likely to get Housh a score than the Jets with Coles.

Good luck!

Answer 7

garcon has manning n plays on a 11-0 team vs. a division rival, but sims-walker is garrad's main target, n is also playing a division rival. smith along w/the rest of the giants have been sadly inconsistent the last 6 weeks, but smith still is a top fantasy receiver. So i would go with sims-walker in ur starting wr spot n garcon in ur flex. chambers has been good the past 2-3 weeks, but he's playing denver n i dont trust KC against such a strong division rival lol.

Answer 8

Smith is a must start, and start TJ, if you need reasurance look what he has done against Baltimore. They are a good defense, but TJ has burned them on many ocaisions. This will be a must throw situation for Cinci and Baltimore's best CB will be on Johnson.

Answer 9

Driver is out with injury. Any offensive player from Detriot or Cinny will give you points. Steve Smith is good.

Answer 10

I think you should defiantly start Steve Smith, but look into who the other receivers and see what defense they are going against and chose the weakest... just my opinion... good luck
