    Week 1 fantasy football help thread

    Post your lineup for week 1, your opponents if you want, or whatever you need help with

    I'll start first.

    Should i start beanie wells against a awful carolina d line or tim hightower against the redskins in a ppr league
    I have mendenhall starting against baltimore. Wouldn't it be a bold move to start hightower and beanie. A move like this can win championships, but doubt i will do it.

    Here's what I expect the lineups to look like for my week 1:

    My team is on the left. My reserves are below.

    FF wk1.1.jpg

    FF wk1.2.jpg

    Marshawn Lynch
    Johnny Knox
    Ben Tate
    Marion Barber
    Jacoby Ford
    Chargers D

    He has a lot better starters than I do, he had the first pick in every round. Any advice is welcome.

    thats a close matchup there cougar.

    Depends on what game shape chris johnson will be in and if ray rice can run against pitt. You'll likely need rice to get some rec yards.

    2 good teams playing there

    I do think I have a fighter's chance. Do you see any scenarios where I should have subs in for any of my current starters?

    Thanks, yeah last I checked Foster was starting. I can't imagine using Tate unless he starts.

    Which 3 WR's do I start:

    Mike Wallace, Pit
    Reggie Wayne, Ind
    Lance Moore, NO
    Mike Williams, Sea
    Davone Bess, Mia

    I'm thinking Wallace for sure, and most likely Wayne and Moore, but I'm not sure. Will Williams or Bess do better than Wayne (Manning-less) and Moore (against Packers and good pass D)?

    Wayne will be fine without Peyton.

    Don't like Moore with all the options Brees has.

    Williams with Jackson throwing to him, no thanks.

    So I would probably go with Bess.

    Wallace, Wayne and Bess.

    Moore is the Saint's PR so I could steal some points if he breaks open at some point. That is the only reason I'm kind of leaning towards Moore. I don't even think Bess is top #3 receiver for Miami.

    Yes TT I like having Colston to even out Brees but he tends to really distribute

    Bess is the Welker of Miami, not as productive obviously, but is the slot WR. I wouldn't gamble on having a WR breaking for a punt return TD. I'm just giving out suggestions.

    Plus this on Moore, via NFL.COM Player News:
    Moore (groin) did not practice Monday, Jeff Duncan of The New Orleans Times Picayune reports.

    Impacts: Duncan goes on to add that it sounds like the Saints simply wanted to rest Moore's surgically-repaired groin as a precaution. What Moore is able to do (or not do) Tuesday will be telling with regards to his availability for Thursday's season opener.

    Your starters look about right. Same as CB though, keep up to date with Cassel's status. Possible cracked rib, but he did suit up for practice today.

    Also, I think the Bengals spoil that Browns Defense. The person I'm facing this week dropped the Cowboy D to pick up the Browns D. I think it is a trap, not going to score as much points as projected.

    like your team because you got beanie and hightower, if one doesn't work, the other should. With moake out in kc, bowe's stock moves up, good backups also

    As my 2nd RB, do i start Delango Williams against Arizona. Or Knowshon Moreno against Oakland. (my 1st RB is Chris Johnson)

    Or do i get crazy and start Tim Hightower or Daniel Thomas instead.

    I'm going with Moreno as my flex spot. So I would start him. I just don't like Deangelo, I feel defenses are going to focus on the Panthers run game.

    Week 1.

    My PPR Starters:

    QB - Matthew Stafford
    WR - Roddy White
    WR - Reggie Wayne
    RB - LeSean McCoy
    RB - Jahvid Best
    TE - Jason Witten
    W/R - Knowshon Moreno
    K - Dan Carpenter
    DEF - Lions

    My Bench:

    Pierre Thomas
    Davone Bess
    Steve Smith (CAR)
    Mike Thomas
    James Starks
    Michael Crabtree


    What would you change?

    The other guy:

    QB - Tom Brady
    WR - Andre Johnson
    WR - Mike Williams (TB)
    RB - Ahmad Bradshaw
    RB - Ryan Mathews
    TE - Dallas Clark
    W/R - Kenny Britt
    K - Rob Bironas
    DEF - Browns

    He is projected to win by 8 points. He dropped the Cowboys D to pick up the Browns D (projected 17pts), but I think that Browns defense is a trap.

    I'd start Beanie Wells week one, without a doubt. I think he'll have a huge year. I would never start a Washington Rb bc Shannahan is known for using 2-3 guys per game.

    My teams in my leagues are: Rodgers QB, Blount/Turner RB, Manningham Flex, Jennings Vincent Jackson WRs, Finley TE, Romo OP, Eagles D/ST, Bironas K.

    Reserves: Fred Jackson, Kenny Britt, Mike Thomas, James Starks, B Jacobs, M. Sims-walker

    **I know a lot of you may not like 3 GB players on same team - I'm a huge Rodgers fan and I think I'll destroy this 8p league.

    Here is my other 8p league:
    Rodgers QB
    Hillis, Moreno, Chris Johson, Beanie Wells RBs (Can play 2 RBs and 2 flex - playing 4 RB week 1)
    Wayne/Colston WRS
    Pettigrew TE
    Urlacher, London Fletcher, Eric Berry DP's
    Patriots D/St
    Rob Bironas K

    Reserves: Dez bryant, Kenny britt, mike thomas, joe flacco, crabtree, hardesty.

    BOTH Leagues are .5 PPR so 1/2 ppr.

    I initially drafted the Saints Def but dropped them for Browns in week one.
    Liking Bengals on the Road with rookie QB over Saints on Road in GB.

    I agree with BigDeen about shanahan and his RBs... Never know who the hell is going to get the bulk.

    Still a little hesitant on Johnson though in Buffalo. Losing Lee Evans I can see him picking up more coverage.
    Still a flex option but with my team you think im better off with someone else?

    via NFL.COM Player News:
    Moore (groin) did not practice Tuesday, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Mike Triplett reports.

    Impacts: Coach Sean Payton said Moore is the kind of player who doesn't need practice to get into mental shape for a game. That means he'll play if he's at all healthy Thursday, but that determination might not be made until right around game time. Moore's owners might need to follow this one down to the wire.

    I usually play week to week match-ups with Defenses and Kickers as well. I thought about picking up the Browns D before my opponent did, but just think it won't score as much as the projections say it will.

    Good luck FTH.
